When asked about the announcement of ex-girlfriend Lynn Hung’s marriage, he stopped smiling and said, "I don’t want to say anything about the past and I’d give my best wishes when any friend of mine has good news."

When asked about him and his girlfriend Moka Fang being spotted wedding ring shopping and her seeming pregnant, Aaron said before finishing the interview, "It’s not true. I don’t want to respond to it."

Wallace Huo defends Ruby Lin

Taiwanese actor Wallace Huo and wife, Taiwanese actress Ruby Lin, have been making headlines since the announcement of their relationship this May. Within five months, they had tied the knot and are expecting their first child together. The onscreen couple, who have been good friends for 10 years, also received many blessings from fans and the media.

However, Ruby, who is currently six months pregnant, was recently flamed relentlessly on the Internet by online trolls, accusing her of “forcing [Wallace] into marriage and pretending to be a saint”.

Although the 40-year-old actress has responded that she was unaffected and had gotten used to the flaming by her haters, Wallace could not help but jump to his wife’s defence by urging the media and public at the press conference of his latest movie, Hide and Seek, to “not be bothered with them (the haters)”.

During the press conference, Wallace also revealed that he faced difficulties filming seven days of continuous fight scenes with co-star Chinese actresses Qin Hailu, which he admitted was “too scary”. The 37-year-old actor eventually asked for a day off to rest due to physical exhaustion.

On the other hand, Hailu felt that it was rather thrilling to play her role of a mentally ill woman, which was different from her past characters.

Hide and Seek opens in theatres November 4.

Boy George to pay for Pete Burns' funeral

Boy George has reportedly offered to pay for Pete Burns' funeral.

The Culture Club singer kindly stepped in when he heard his pal - who tragically passed away last Sunday (23.10.16) at the age of 57 after suffering a "massive cardiac arrest" - had died "absolutely penniless" and his ex-wife Lynne Corlett and husband Michael Simpson were considering setting up a page to allow fans to contribute to the costs of having him laid to rest.

A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "It is very sad, but Pete died absolutely penniless and there is no money for a funeral.

"At one point Lynne and Michael were discussing with Pete's friends setting up a crowdfunding page to pay for it.

"But people were not happy about that as they thought it would be undignified for Pete.

"Pete never really got his life together and was very disorganised which is why there was nothing left.

"When George got wind of this, he offered to pay for the whole thing straight away.
"He told Lynne not to worry and said he would take care of it.

"He thinks she and Michael have enough on their plates and wanted to take this concern away from them.

"It is a very generous gesture - and typical of George.

"As soon as he heard there was a problem he did not hesitate to sort it out.

"He was devastated by the news and Pete was a great friend of his.

"And it is strangely fitting that one Eighties legend should help out another in this way."

A date and venue for the funeral have not yet been set, but it is likely to take place in London in the coming weeks, with a wake at the private Groucho Club in the city.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood singer Holly Johnson and fellow 80s icon Marilyn are expected to be among those at the service.

The source added: "It will be a send-off with style and should be like a who's who of the 1980s."

George, 55, had hailed Pete a "great true eccentric" after news broke of the singer's death.

He tweeted: " "Tearful about the passing of @PeteBurnsICON he was one of our great true eccentrics and such a big part of my life! Wow. Hard to believe! (sic)"

Scott Disick has no parenting advice

Scott Disick insists there is no "real advice" to hand out about parenting.

The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star - who has kids Mason, six, Penelope, four, and Reign, 22 months, with ex-girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian - thinks his former lover's brother Rob Kardashian will be a great dad when his fiancee Blac Chyna gives birth to their baby next month, but he won't be giving him any tips on raising his family as there isn't a "rule book" on raising kids.

He said of Rob: "I think he's going to be a great dad. You learn as you go. There's no real advice you can give anybody, and if anybody says there is, they're lying."

Asked the best advice he was given when Mason was born, he added to People magazine: "None. I could have used some advice probably. It's not easy. Kids don't come with a rule book. You gotta figure it out yourself. It's one of those things."

One way in which being a father has changed Scott's outlook on life is that he has more fun on spooky celebration Halloween now.

He said: "The kids really like it, so it makes me want to get into the spirit of it. Before that, I was not a monster Halloween guy, per se, but it's fun now."

While Scott, 33, split from Kourtney, 37, over a year ago, he is still a part of her family's reality TV show and admits having his life shadowed by a camera crew no longer feels strange as he has been doing it for so long, it is just "second nature".
He said: "I think reality TV is just a part of our life and it follows our lives.

"I'm not steering in or out of it. It's just kind of second nature at this point. You've got to remember everyone in production we've been with for 10 years so it's basically a big family."

Joe Chen calls online trolls ‘retarded’

Taiwanese actress Joe Chen finds herself embroiled in yet another scandal with anti-fans lashing out at her on her Weibo account.
Earlier this year, a rumour about a female celebrity in her mid-30s bedding a hot, young and handsome boy started circulating on Weibo. They were reported to have a 21-year age gap and said female celebrity was said to have gained fame through acting in several television dramas in recent years.

This set of ‘clues’ led to many Weibo users playing detective and eventually arriving at the conclusion that the 37 year-old actress, who is known for her role in hit Taiwanese drama, You’re My Destiny, cohabited for over a year with a 16 year-old actor, Lei Wu, who acted in Chinese drama Nirvana In Fire.      

Haters lashed out at one of Joe’s post where she wrote about being “kind” on Weibo and accused her of being a hypocrite for sleeping with a young boy, “If you’re kind, why sleep with a young boy.”

Fans jumped to her defense, rebutting the hater, “Only a retard would believe such a fake rumour”, which prompted a reply from Joe: “That’s right, only a retard would believe [the rumour]”.

The actress have always been straightforward with her speech, making her an easy target for online trolls. She was recently called out by haters for keeping silent during the death of one of her good friends and fellow actor, Kimi Qiao, who had committed suicide in August. Old video content of her looking for “testicles” – chicken testicles, to be specific and removing her bra on screen (Behind a towel) after losing a bet on a variety show also made rounds on the internet.

Dee Hsu fulfils dream of working with Feng Xiaogang

Taiwanese host and actress Dee Hsu is an avid fan of Chinese director Feng Xiaogang’s works and promoted herself to Xiaogang on her variety show, Sister’s Hungry (unofficial translation), expressing her wishes to become one of the ‘Director Feng’s girls’ (referring to female actresses that have acted in his movies) like Chinese actress Fan Bingbing.

It looks like Dee’s self-marketing efforts have paid off as the famed director also expressed interest in working with Dee. She will be turning her dreams into reality by co-singing the theme song of his latest movie starring Bingbing, I Am Not Madame Bovary, with Chinese actor Dong Chengpeng.

As they will be performing the theme song in the shoes of the movie characters (Dee will be singing as the movie’s protagonist, Li Xue Lian, while Chengpeng sings in reply to Xue Lian’s laments), Dee quickly delved into character and was seen bantering with Chengpeng during the recording session.

They teased each other with good humour in the fun and lighthearted duet which will see Dee sing “I don’t want men to be surprised by my body only, [I don’t want] to do the laundry, cook and work till late” for one of the lines in the song.
The music video of the theme song will also feature an animated version of the movie characters.

I Am Not Madame Bovary opens in theatres November 1.

Warner Bros working on Sherlock Holmes 3 script

Warner Bros have put together a writing team for 'Sherlock Holmes 3'.

The studio is keen to get the movie - starring Robert Downey Jr as the titular British detective with Jude Law as Dr John Watson - off the ground and has enlisted some top talent to get the script in shape.

Variety reports that 'Guardians of the Galaxy' writer Nicole Perlman, 'Baywatch's Justin Malen, 'Rogue One's Gary Whitta, 'Tomb Raider's Geneva Dworet-Robertson and 'Snowden' screenwriter Kieran Fitzgerald are all working on the script.

Meanwhile, Robert recently insisted he "can't wait" to make 'Sherlock Holmes 3' as he loves working with director Guy Ritchie and co-star Jude.

He said: "We're talking about it right now. Now! I can't wait. We can do some preliminary stuff. If we could shoot it on Skype we could have done it in a week. I know Guy Ritchie loves me as much as I love him - and he damn well should. When we're making those 'Sherlock' movies it is off the hook. We'll attempt to make one this year. It really is a big deal to go and do those movies. I'm tired all the time, but I'm excited about it."

Downey, who stars as Iron Man / Tony Stark in the Marvel 'Avengers' franchise, is always itching for fresh acting challenges but admits he has to limit his work schedule in order to keep a balance between his career and his private life.

The Hollywood superstar - who is married to producer Susan Downey and has three children from two relationships - said: "I'll get a little itchy here and there. But [the Marvel Universe] makes such a big splash that it keeps the pulse of any relevance going. Truth be told, I like working, but there's so many things I like to do. I have kids. I'm a martial artist. I've been working since I was a kid, so sometimes I do get itchy, but I get a week off and it's pleasant. It's a manageable schedule."

Jeremy Irons confirms The Batman for summer 2017

Jeremy Irons has confirmed 'The Batman' will start shooting next summer.

The 68-year-old actor plays the titular superhero's loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' and 'Justice League', and revealed his character will have a big part to play in Ben Affleck's forthcoming film.

When asked if Alfred will feature more prominently in 'Justice League' than he did in 'Batman v Superman', he said: "Similar, but then, of course, Ben's going to make a Batman film next summer.

"He promises me there's going to be a bit more of Alfred in that. In the Justice League we have seven major lead characters and I'm the butler to one of them. It's clear I will not be dominating that film."

Irons admits he doesn't enjoy shooting huge movies as much as smaller films because he spends most of his time doing publicity or waiting around.

Quizzed on whether he finds bigger films such as 'Batman v Superman' as fulfilling as smaller projects, he added: "Less so, because they're so slow.

"There's a lot of waiting around and then a huge amount of publicity. One spends 70% of the time doing publicity, 10 per cent of the time filming, and 20 per cent of the time waiting.

"I love working with Ben [Affleck] and Zack Snyder. They've been fun."

Irons admits he wasn't bothered by some of the harsh 'Batman v Superman' reviews and was just pleased to see plenty of people turned up to watch the movie.

He added to Variety: "I was very pleased by the numbers. Zack seems to get a hard time from the press, which is strange. I don't know if it has to do with the sort of secrecy that surrounds the making of it all. But the audience liked it, which in the end is all that matters."

Jay Chou snaps photo with Orlando Bloom

Filming has started for upcoming Hollywood movie Smart Chase: Fire & Earth, which stars Orlando Bloom, Simon Yam and Hannah Quinlivan, among others.

As Hannah is currently in Shanghai preparing for her role, her busy-bee husband Jay Chou makes regular visits to the set and fans were surprised when Orlando updated his Weibo account yesterday (Oct 25) with a black and white photo of him with the couple.

It was accompanied with the caption, “Have loved working with (Hannah) and getting to know Jay, such a great couple”. Hannah shared the photo with an added comment, “Had a great time”.

Many fans expressed their delight at the meeting of the two superstars, with some commenting, “I’ve actually lived long enough to see Jay Chou and Orlando Bloom in the same photo!”

Hannah’s role in the movie is said to involve a number of action scenes, which has some wondering if it dismisses earlier rumours of the 23-year-old being pregnant. She was previously spotted experiencing a wave of nausea at a recent event but has not responded to rumours of her having a second baby on the way.

Faye Wong’s daughter Leah Dou ‘not close’ to Nicholas Tse?

After what was dubbed as the reunion of the century, Hong Kong multi hyphenate Nicholas Tse and Chinese singer Faye Wong have gotten back together for slightly more than two years now, ever since their first relationship from 2000 to 2002. The couple have recently been fending off rumours of them planning an end of year wedding.

Faye Wong’s daughter from her first marriage with musician Dou Wei, Leah Dou, has also expressed her acceptance of the relationship, as long as Faye is happy.

Coincidentally, she fancied her mother’s Cantonese song, Vertigo, which was written by Nicholas. She also added that she did not have a close relationship with Nicholas and has never attended his concerts before.

However, pictures of their brotherly meet up on the set of Nicholas’ culinary show, Chef Nic, have shown otherwise. The two exchanged hugs upon meeting and proceeded to chat over a cigar and cigarettes like a pair of ‘bros’.

Nicholas once even considered signing Leah to his company as he saw potential in her musical talent, but was rejected by Leah as she didn’t want the focus of her singing debut to be diverted to her mother’s relationship. Leah eventually signed the contract offered by her mother’s agent, Chen Jiaying. Leah’s first album, Stone Café, was released early this year.

Tom Cruise 'smitten with new girlfriend'

Tom Cruise has a new girlfriend.

The 54-year-old actor - who has not had a serious relationship since he split from third wife Katie Holmes in 2012 - has reportedly been dating an unnamed British woman for several months.

Us Weekly reports that Tom is "smitten" with the woman, who is described as "very normal and pretty" and she has been staying with him at his London flat and his rented cottage on the outskirts of the English capital.

A source said: "He's serious about this relationship and wants to make it work. Tom wants some companionship."

And she has gotten the seal of approval from Tom's sister, Lee Anne DeVette, who has been spending time with the couple.

The insider added: "They go on bike rides through the countryside. Sometimes Tom's sister would join them."

Meanwhile, it has also been revealed that Tom's youngest daughter Suri, 10, who lives with her mother Katie, visited him in the UK during the summer where he was filming 'The Mummy'.

Although the pair have not been photographed together since August 2012, they enjoyed a trip to the Cotswolds and stayed in the village of Bourton-On-The-Water in Gloucestershire before spending time together in London.

A source said: "Everything was treated very discreetly. Suri very important and a special part of his life."

Katie did not accompany Suri on the trip but the youngster was joined by her nanny and a bodyguard.

Mariah Carey and James Packer split?

Mariah Carey and James Packer have reportedly ended their relationship.

According to a report in Australia's Women's Day magazine, the businessman has allegedly called time on his engagement to the 46-year-old singer because she became obsessed with her reality television show 'Mariah's World', and was "willing to expose their lives to the world" in a way he wasn't comfortable with.

A source claimed: "It's all over. James had huge reservations about Mariah's new reality TV show and the fact that she was willing to expose their lives to the world."
Another source alleged that James was tired of the 'Without You' hitmaker's "extravagant spending".

The insider added: "James is very generous, but Mariah takes it to the next level."

And the 49-year-old billionaire - who has been in a relationship with the 'Touch My Body' singer since June 2015 - has reportedly even let Mariah keep the lavish $10 million engagement ring he gave to her when he proposed in January.

It was also claimed that problems surfaced when the chart-topping singer didn't attend a birthday party for James' sister.

The source said: "When she refused to come to Australia for [Packer's sister's] birthday party it created a lot of tension in the family. James' tight circle of friends never really thought they would marry."

The news comes just days after the 'We Belong Together' musician cancelled shows in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil as part of her upcoming tour in South America, citing "promoter negligence" as the reason for the cancellation.

She said previously: "To all of my lambs in South America, I am devastated that a portion of this tour had to be cancelled. Thank you for all of the excitement and love--I hope to see you soon, my darlings!"

Angelababy: Tony Leung made me do it

Movie stills from Chinese director Zhang Jiajia’s upcoming movie, See You Tomorrow, were released during its press conference and shared comical moments from the film set. The Wong Kar-Wai produced film features a star-studded cast that includes Angelababy, Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Eason Chan.

One of the movie stills tickled the media as it showed Tony posing grimly with seaweed draped over his drenched hair. “I had just finished a scene as a person who wanted to jump into the sea, (so) I couldn’t care less about my image,” he explained. The actor added that the character he was playing had many lines which were ever-changing, which proved to be “challenging” for him.

Fortunately, Tony was not alone, as Takeshi also found it rather difficult to assimilate into his role, Guan Chun, who is portrayed as a comic character. However, Takeshi eventually found the right approach to play his character – to “act like I’m 18”, and he slowly fell in love with acting as his reel-life self.

Director Jiajia even poked fun at him, saying: “Towards the second half of production, Takeshi was practically so much in character that he spoke like a teenager every day on set and we laughed like crazy (when we heard it!)”

However, the most heart wrenching photos from the movie was the one with Angelababy looking dumbfounded as eight large wooden pegs were clipped painfully on her flawless face. When asked for the reason behind the cruel deed, Angelababy replied: “Chen Mo (Tony’s character) told me that ferrymen have to be harsh on themselves”.

Angelababy also expressed gratitude towards the cast and crew, saying “After playing the role for the umpteenth time, I felt like I went for a 10-month acting course (because) I learnt so much”.

The actress, who recently announced that she is pregnant with her first child, was reported to be suffering from bloating at her calves due to water retention, but successfully concealed her baby bump under her two-tiered flare dress.

Meanwhile, Han Ye Seol is currently in America for personal business. Teddy is a producer with YG Entertainment and most recently produced new girl group BLACKPINK′s debut album.

Linda Chung: My daughter has melted my heart and soul

Linda Chung shared a recent photo of her daughter, Kelly, with netizens remarking that the bundle of joy is the spitting image of her father, Jeremy Leung. Linda and Jeremy tied the knot in after a surprise announcement back in February and the actress gave birth to her first child in August.

Currently two months old, Linda uploaded a photo of her cradling Kelly, along with a solo shot of the little girl smiling, with the caption, “Her smile has melted my heart and soul. I’m thankful to the heavens for teaching me how to love and about the circle of life. I’ve also become kinder, gentler and braver, just like a bear that protects its young. I love you Kelly!”

Linda tied the knot in her home country, Canada, and has continued living there even after delivering Kelly.  Fans have praised Linda for her motherly nature and remarked that they would love to see both mother and daughter back in Hong Kong in the near future.

Linda, who originally shared her intent to return to Hong Kong at the end of the year, has yet to make any concrete plans to do so. Apart from her fans, fellow entertainers have also expressed their desire to see their friend back in Hong Kong before the turn of a new year.

Justin Bieber renting 4.75m mansion

Justin Bieber is renting a £4.75m mansion in the North of England.

The 22-year-old singer has leased the £17,000-a-month palatial pad to stay in while performing in Manchester and Sheffield on his 'Purpose' world tour.

According to the Daily Mail newspaper, the house has seven bedrooms and features a helipad, soccer pitch, indoor sports hall, indoor swimming pool and gym.

It also has a wine cellar and an outdoor adventure area with a zip-wire.

However, Justin's tour dates in Manchester have been controversial as the star has lashed out at his audience on two separate dates.

Over the weekend he stormed off stage after being booed by the crowd as he spoke to them between songs, because they wanted him to get on with singing his hits.

However, he soon returned and said: "Manc can't handle the talking so I won't talk."
Justin explained his tantrum at the end of the concert, before he played 'Baby'.

He said: "The reason why I was getting upset earlier was because I travelled across the whole world to come here and I dedicate my life to performing and bring smiles to people's faces.

"I feel that people were just not giving me the same respect back and it hurts a little bit so that's why. But we're gonna end it on this last song... 'Baby'."

And last week, on his opening night in Manchester, Justin told fans to stay "as quiet as possible" while he was singing.

He said: "Try and stay as quiet as possible. You can scream as much as you want afterwards, but while I'm singing try and stay quiet."

Justin was also annoyed that fans would not listen when he started talking between songs.

He reportedly said: "I just thought I could have a moment to say something. If not, I'll just get to singing. I don't mind cutting the bulls**t because I don't need to talk. I'm just trying to engage, but if you guys don't want to do that then we can just play the music."

She told Howard Stern on his Sirius XM show: "I hate to sound like a hippie, but I kind of am one and so is he. We love each other, that's it. It's just about life changes, and we all go through different stages and we're focused on different things."

"To be fair, I think that Taylor's pretty f***ing cool that over the years no matter what creative transformation that I've gone through, he's always been very supportive of that and loving."

However, when asked how she would feel if he started dating someone else, Gaga quipped: "I'm not going to f***ing throw a party!"

Gaga - who recently released her new album 'Joanne' - praised Taylor for how supportive he has been of her career since they met on the set of her 'You & I' video in 2011 and admitted he has inspired her latest record.

She said: "I'm actually very close to Taylor. He's been my lover and my friend for a really long time. He's been so supportive of the album, and I support him on his show, 'Chicago Fire.'

"There's a lot on this record inspired by our relationship, and he's super supportive of me expressing myself artistically."

The pair were together for five years and engaged for one before they ended their romance in July, but Gaga has previously insisted they are "soulmates".

She wrote on Instagram after their split: "Taylor and I have always believed we are soulmates. Just like all couples we have ups and downs, and we have been taking a break. We are both ambitious artists, hoping to work through long-distance and complicated schedules to continue the simple love we have always shared. Please root us on. We're just like everybody else and we really love each other(sic)."

Barbie Hsu blasts extreme weight-loss allegations

Barbie Hsu has stepped forward to clarify reports that she lost 20 kilograms by eating oatmeal, blasting the allegations as “nonsense”.

The 40-year-old has built up a reputation of taking very good care of her body and looks and maintained a svelte figure, with the help of a vegetarian diet, prior to getting pregnant for the first time in 2013.

During her pregnancy, she stopped being a vegetarian and saw her weight increase to 79 kilograms, but Barbie was unaffected by it as she wanted to ensure that her then-unborn baby would receive as much nutrients as possible. Even after giving birth, she is reported to have found satisfaction in her fuller figure and has since decided to focus on living well, instead of obsessing over her weight.

Barbie used to be extremely thin because of her extreme diet and depression, but was not in the pink of health. Clarifying that she used to eat oatmeal for breakfast because of its convenience, she added that she stopped doing so about a decade ago. She expressed, “I’m not sure why there have been strange people who have been spreading nonsense (about me)! This is really frustrating!”

Her husband, Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei, was slammed in April over his comment on her baby weight. He posted a past photo of his wife when she was slimmer on his Weibo with the caption, “Will this be a photo from after she gives birth to the little brother?” Netizens promptly shot his statement down with comments such as, “Then please don’t make her have one child after another for you — she’ll look far better than she does in this photo”.

Selina Jen, Hebe Tien cried upon seeing Ella Chen’s pregnancy test results

After announcing her pregnancy on Facebook yesterday, Ella Chen appeared together with fellow S.H.E members Selina Jen and Hebe Tien today at an event organised by World Gym.

When asked about more details on her pregnancy, Ella coyly said that she will only share more information at her press conference this Friday for her upcoming album. She did, however, let on that she has yet to find out the gender of her baby.

After participating in the workout together with Selina and Hebe, Ella shared that her husband has been particularly mindful of what she eats after they found out that she was pregnant. “He controls what I eat and tells me what I can and cannot eat. When he found out about the good news, he felt like it was finally his chance to be a dad!” she chuckled.

Her fellow celebrity pals have advised her to keep her jumping around to a minimum, with the free-spirited Ella laughing, “Thank goodness I didn’t tell them (about my pregnancy) beforehand, or they would have made a mountain out of a molehill and I’d become paranoid too!”

Continuing that she will cut down on her workload from next month onwards in preparation of becoming a mother, Ella let on that both Selina and Hebe were present when she took her pregnancy test and burst into tears when they saw the positive result.

Teasing that her baby must think that its mother is a “lunatic”, Selina smiled that she should look on the bright side and that her unborn child “will learn to be strong”.

Justin Bieber storms off stage after being booed by fans

Justin Bieber stormed off stage in Manchester, England, on Sunday (23.10.16).

The 22-year-old singer was booed by the crowd as he spoke to them between songs, because they wanted him to get on with singing his hits, so be dropped his microphone and walked off the stage.

However, he soon returned and said: "Manc can't handle the talking so I won't talk."
And Justin explained his tantrum at the end of the concert, before he played 'Baby'.

He said: "The reason why I was getting upset earlier was because I travelled across the whole world to come here and I dedicate my life to performing and bring smiles to people's faces.

"I feel that people were just not giving me the same respect back and it hurts a little bit so that's why. But we're gonna end it on this last song... 'Baby'."

Justin's UK dates on his 'Purpose' world tour have been controversial, as last week the singer blasted his fans at two different concerts.

On his opening night in Manchester, Justin told fans to stay "as quiet as possible" while he was singing.

He said: "Try and stay as quiet as possible. You can scream as much as you want afterwards, but while I'm singing try and stay quiet."

And Justin was also annoyed that fans would not listen when he started talking between songs.

He reportedly said: "I just thought I could have a moment to say something. If not, I'll just get to singing. I don't mind cutting the bulls**t because I don't need to talk. I'm just trying to engage, but if you guys don't want to do that then we can just play the music."

Just days before that, he also blasted fans for screaming at his show in Birmingham.

He was recorded telling fans: "Just try to show me you love me, in a different way. I get it. The screaming is just so obnoxious. I get it, it's been in our blood and it's been grand, you go to a concert and scream and stuff. But if we could just ... scream after the song, enjoy the songs ... the screaming is awesome, it's fine, and then we take a chill pill for a second and we just listen to me speak. Because ... I don't feel like I'm being heard sometimes and it's getting a little pressuring. So, if when I'm speaking you guys could not scream at the top of your lungs. Is that cool with you guys?"

During the recording one woman can be heard shouting "no", but Justin continued, admitting he finds it "tough" on tour sometimes being away from his pals.

He explained: "Like I was saying, I've been on tour for a while now. I'm away from my friends so it can be tough sometimes. I have all you beautiful people to keep me company."

Susan Williams speaks about Robin's battle with brain disease

Robin Williams' wife says his fight against Lewy Body Disease was "the biggest battle of his life".

Susan Schneider believes her 63-year-old husband committed suicide in August 2014 because of the debilitating brain disease, which is the second most common form of neurodegenerative dementia after Alzheimer's and causes heightened levels of anxiety, delusions and impaired movement.

The disease was only diagnosed after an autopsy was carried out following his death, and Susan has now joined forces with the American Brain Foundation to "cure all brain disease".

Speaking as she accepted the 2016 Angel Harvey Heart of a Patriot Award from the USO on Robin's behalf in Chicago over the weekend, Susan said: "The biggest battle of his life was against Lewy Body Disease. This terrifying disease attacks the brain. No matter how many doctors we saw, symptoms we chased, or tests we ran, it was only in autopsy that I learned we had unknowingly been battling a deadly disease. A disease for which there is no cure. The devastation on Robin's brain from the Lewy bodies, was one of the worst cases medical professionals have ever seen. Yet throughout all of this, his heart remained strong.

"In 1945 the American Cancer Society put all forms of cancer on the collective map and called it 'cancer'. They saw it as one disease and set out to attack each manifestation of it. It is time we take the same approach with the brain - combining medical knowledge, funding, research and efforts to look at brain disease as a whole.
I have joined forces with the American Brain Foundation and have taken up their noble mission: to cure all brain disease. Together we can usher in a new era of brain care where early detection, cures and ultimately prevention become reality."

Susan compared Robin's battle to that of America's servicemen and women and said her love for him had helped her to cope since his death.

She explained: "I'm here with you because of my husband's heart. Robin absolutely had the heart of a patriot. I cannot think of a more fitting award for him, nor one that he would be more proud to receive, especially in the presence of all of you.

Robin was also a warrior, and like so many of our finest servicemen and women he had battles to face.

"I stand hopeful before all of you. The love my husband and I have shared has been my beacon and my guide. The love all of you give by your choice to take your worst days and use them to give someone their best days - that devotion and caring for others is my strength."

Are Jay Chou, Hannah Quinlivan expecting a second child?

It looks like Jay Chou might just fulfill his wish of having a son earlier than expected – his wife, Hannah Quinlivan, is suspected of being pregnant after a recent event appearance. Hannah, who tied the knot with Jay in a fairytale ceremony in 2015, became parents to a daughter, Hathaway, who was born in the same year.

The 23-year-old has been busy filming upcoming Hollywood flick S.M.A.R.T. Chase - The Dragon and Phoenix along with cast mates Leo Wu, Lee Jung Jae and Orlando Bloom. When asked if she will be asking for acting tips from her husband, she chuckled, “I think I’ll look at it myself (since the script is all in English), or he’ll have a hard time.”

During the event, Hannah suffered a wave of nausea, which led to speculation that she could be expecting. At press time, neither Jay nor Hannah have responded to these rumours.

In related news, Jay was in Hainan for the World Celebrity Pro-Am held at Mission Hills Haikou, where he was asked about Hathaway. He laughed, “The only idol in her heart has to be her dad!”

Jay also let on that his daughter is taken care of by his mother, mother-in-law and Hannah’s sister whenever the celebrity couple is busy with work.

The protective father shared that he communicates with his daughter via video calls when he has to travel and will help out with parenting when he’s at home, with his specialty being making milk for Hathaway.

SMAP will not perform at 67th Kohaku Uta Gassen

Long-running Japanese boy group SMAP shocked many with their sudden announcement in August: the group will be calling it quits on December 31 after 25 years together.

Many believed that they would put on their final performance at the NHK Year-End Song Festival (also known as the Kohaku Uta Gassen), but are expected to be disappointed with Shingo Katori’s declaration that the group will be giving the event a miss.

The group’s disbandment has been speculated to be related to disagreements with the higher management at label Johnny and Associates, along with friction between members Takuya Kimura and Shingo.

Recent reports have claimed that Shingo has refused to perform at the festival, declaring, “We can perform, but only if that person kneels down in front of me!” With reports of bad blood between Takuya and Shingo, many have believed that the person Shingo is referring to is Takuya.

SMAP has participated in the year-end festival 23 times, with many fans fervently hoping that they would be able to watch them take part for the 24th time this year on Dec 31, which is also the day the group will officially disband.

New Kesha music to be released 'soon'

New music from Kesha will be released "soon".

The 29-year-old's career stalled when she was locked in a court battle with her label Sony and producer Dr. Luke, after claiming he sexually assaulted her, but Kesha has been working on new music and Sony says it should be released soon.

The company told Buzzfeed in a statement: "Creating a new album takes time, and everyone's goal is to deliver a high quality album consistent with Kesha's past releases. We hope to share exciting new music with Kesha's fans soon."

However, Kesha's attorney Daniel Petrocelli was less optimistic.

He said: "Kesha has been trying for six months to record and release new music. Only in the last month, after our last court hearing, has any progress been made, but it is hardly enough. Kesha still has received no commitments on promotion, songs, or even a release date.

"We hope things turn around fast. Meanwhile, Kesha intends to continue participating in the creative process in the hopes she can meaningfully return to work."

Kesha originally filed legal documents seeking to have her contract with the producer dissolved after accusing him of sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abusing her for almost a decade.

In response to her lawsuit, which was filed in October 2014, Luke filed a counter-suit against the 'Die Young' singer, accusing her of defamation.

Kesha is contractually bound to make three more albums with Dr. Luke and his Kemosabe Records label, which is owned by Sony.

Four Tops to record one last album with Duke Fakir

The Four Tops are to release one final album with original member Duke Fakir.

The 80-year-old singer plans on retiring within the next five years and is to bow out by releasing the Motown group's first record since 1988's 'Indestructible' when originals Levi Stubbs, Renaldo 'Obie' Benson, and Lawrence Payton were alive.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Duke said: "We do plan on doing some new music on my way out of the business. I will be going out pretty soon. That could be five years from now or two. We are writing songs to capture a little bit of our history along with a tribute to the other three Tops who passed away. So we are planning one last album, at least with me on it."

The 'Ain't No Woman' hitmaker has also said that once he has passed away he will hand the reins over to the son of Lawrence, Lawrence Payton Jr should they wish to continue performing as the Four Tops.

Asked if he would be happy for the group, which also includes Lawrence Jr, Harold Bonhart and Ronnie McNeir to continue performing, he said: "If they wish to. Right now we have the son of one of the original members, Lawrence Payton Jr., he would probably take over.

"I would pass it on to him. I would mentor him on things. But he was born into. I remember when we had to put him in a spot I didn't even have to rehearse him. So they will be carrying on the legacy."

The Four Tops are currently on tour with The Temptations and Tavares in the UK.

Fan Bingbing, Li Chen rumoured to be secretly planning a wedding

Fan Bingbing posted a make up-less selfie taken on the streets on her Weibo account last night while donning a black baseball cap and a face mask. Other than praising her for her flawless skin, fans were quick to point out that she was in fact back in her hometown, Yantai, which soon led to speculations of her going back to prepare for a secret wedding with partner Li Chen.

In fact, the couple was spotted house hunting in Hong Kong in September, although they made no direct comments on the issue at that time.

Ranking fifth on the Forbes list of highest paid female actresses this year (she is believed to have pocketed an estimated S$23.5 millon in earnings from June 2015 to June 2016), Bingbing have always expressed that she has no wish to marry a wealthy man and boldly declared, at a promotional event for her 2011 movie Buddha Mountain, “I’ve never thought of marrying into a rich family, because I myself am a prized catch.”

This has led fans to comment that “Lichen’s will never be as rich as Bingbing even if he gets more famous”.

However, it was recently disclosed by Taiwanese media that her partner, Li Chen, has family assets worth RMB 10 billion (estimated S$2 billion), and owns countless luxury cars. He was also ranked 19 on Forbes list of richest Chinese celebrities and will be making a directorial debut soon.

Justin Bieber blasts 'obnoxious' fans

Justin Bieber blasted his own fans as "obnoxious" for screaming at his concert.
The 'Never Say Never' hitmaker interrupted his show at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham, West Midlands, during his 'Purpose World Tour' on Monday night (17.10.16) to ask his supporters to stop "screaming at the top of your lungs".

He was recorded telling fans: "Just try to show me you love me, in a different way. I get it.

"The screaming is just so obnoxious.

"I get it, it's been in our blood and it's been grand, you go to a concert and scream and stuff.

"But if we could just ... scream after the song, enjoy the songs ... the screaming is awesome, it's fine, and then we take a chill pill for a second and we just listen to me speak.

"Because ... I don't feel like I'm being heard sometimes and it's getting a little pressuring.

"So if when I'm speaking you guys could not scream at the top of your lungs. Is that cool with you guys?"

During the recording one woman can be heard shouting "no", but Justin continued, admitting he finds it "tough" on tour sometimes being away from his pals.

He added: "Like I was saying, I've been on tour for a while now. I'm away from my friends so it can be tough sometimes.

"I have all you beautiful people to keep me company."

But Justin's request didn't go down well with everyone, and one fan, Amanda Boland, 26, who travelled from Manchester for the show and recorded him making the comments, blasted him as "disrespectful".

She told the Birmingham Mail newspaper: "I really felt as though Justin was disrespectful to his fans.

"Not so much us, more so the young girls who queued for a long time to be at the front.

"We recorded the fans screaming because we didn't think we'd heard anything quite as loud at a concert before ... and what we ended up recording, to our surprise, was Bieber complaining because his fans were 'like two feet away', and they just 'needed to find another way to express themselves!'"

Fiona Sit attends rumoured beau Khalil Fong's concert

When Khalil Fong performed at his concert, the audience gave him a standing ovation and said that he was handsome. Talking about the previous report on his retirement, he said it had exaggerated. The album he just released was his last creation at the moment, but he would continue to create new music. He would also help new singers in the name of his company and had already started a film company to make movies. He revealed that he was writing a movie script with a musical theme, though there might be sci-fi and other themes in the future.

His rumoured girlfriend Fiona Sit showed up with her mother and took a selfie with him when he walked down from the stage to take pictures with the fans. When asked to confirm that Fiona had said someone would marry her if she did not marry at 40, Khalil was puzzled and said he’d ask her.

Kanye West extends tour

Kanye West has extended his 'Saint Pablo Tour'.

The 39-year-old rapper has added 21 further dates which will see the star play to the masses right the way up to New Year's Eve (31.12.16) ahead of the first leg of his run of shows wrapping at the end of this month.

The new dates start in San Jose, California, on November 17, and will run up until a two-day stint in Brooklyn, New York, on December 30 and 31.

All of the additional 23 dates are solely in North America, so anyone wanting to catch the 'Gold Digger' hitmaker elsewhere will have to keep waiting as there's no plans in place to take the acclaimed tour worldwide as of yet.

The second leg of the tour - which sees the 'Famous' rapper perform on a floating stage that projects light and hovers above the crowd - will also include the rescheduled dates in Philadelphia and Detroit, after the star was forced to postpone the shows when his wife Kim Kardashian West was robbed at gunpoint in Paris, France, earlier this month.

Many of the cities the 'Fade' musician is hitting this time around are ones he visited during his first leg, so those who didn't manage to get a ticket have a second chance at catching the star.

The announcement comes after Kanye's 'Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1' single shot to the top spot of Billboard's R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart, marking his 12th number one on the chart.

Tickets for the shows will be available for American Express card holders on Wednesday (19.10.16) through to Friday (20.10.16), before going to general sale on Saturday (22.10.16).

The 'Saint Pablo Tour' added dates:

Jolin Tsai: Getting married doesn’t equate to happiness

Jolin Tsai has ruled out marriage in the near future, adding that she feels that you “have to know your own situation" (before making a decision)” because getting married doesn’t equate to happiness. The 36-year-old has been dating boyfriend Vivian Dawson for six years but only revealed the first photo of the pair together earlier this year.

Making an appearance at a brand event, she battled with the wind, which threatened to flip her ruffled skirt upwards multiple times. Despite her best efforts, her safety shorts were revealed when a strong gust of wind caught her by surprise.

Sharing that she sometimes suffers from gastric pains, she added that her TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) physician advised her to drink chicken essence in order to help with her condition. In addition, she shared that she maintains her porcelain-like skin by making sure she consumes enough protein and drinks coconut oil, along with having sufficient sleep.

Chuckling, she added that she tends to lose her temper when she is sleep deprived and shared that it is likely that she did not get enough sleep the night before if she looks expressionless and doesn’t smile. As to whether she vents her anger on Vivian, she laughed, “I don’t!”

In addition, she shared that she is currently in the early stages of working on her upcoming album, which is only five per cent complete. She is currently in the midst of listening to demos and finalising the track list.

Eddie Peng clarifies ‘manager-fan’ airport incident

Eddie Peng was embroiled in controversy when a video clip of a man, allegedly his manager, hitting a fan’s phone out of her hands was widely circulated.

The Taiwanese actor is currently on the road to promote his latest movie, Operation Mekong, which has been doing well in the box office, and he is often welcomed by crowds of fans at the airport.

In the video, he was seen appearing at the airport and was swarmed by fans eager to get a photo of him. His black-shirted security detail was standing close by, keeping him a safe distance away from fans, when a man rushed out from behind him and hit a lady’s phone out of her hands to stop her from taking photos.

This led to widespread speculation that his manager was being disrespectful and overly violent to fans, with some retorting that it was the fan who breached Eddie’s personal space and should have been more considerate to the star instead.

Given the uproar surrounding the incident, Eddie made a statement through his official workshop, which read, “The staff member (in the video) is not part of my team and is also not my assistant. The person taking photos was not my fan, but was a staff member of the airport I was at.”

He added that he hoped that his fans will put their own safety first at future events and cooperate with staff instructions in order for him to best interact with his fans.

Shrek 5 is given a release date

The story for 'Shrek 5' is being penned by 'Austin Powers' writer Michael McCullers.
DreamWorks Animation previously unveiled plans to release another instalment in the franchise about the lovable green ogre and now it has been revealed that McCullers is currently writing the script and will be reunited with Mike Myers, who starred as spoof spy Powers and voices Shrek.

In an interview with Hollywood News, 'Trolls' co-director Mike Mitchell - who directed 'Shrek 2' - said: "They've got a pretty good story. It's being written by Michael McCullers who wrote all of the 'Austin Powers' films. He came up with a really great idea that they're exploring."

His 'Trolls' co-director Walt Dohrn - who helmed 'Shrek Forever After' - added in the join interview: "There's more story to tell there and we're ready to help tell it for sure."

As well as his work on the three 'Austin Powers' movies, McCullers is known for his work on 'Saturday Night Live' and also wrote and directed 'Baby Mama' and contributed to the screenplay for the animated film 'Mr. Peabody & Sherman'.

Although the writer has been confirmed, there is currently no director attached to 'Shrek 5', but Dohrn is hoping he and Mitchell will be asked following their work on latest DreamWorks Animation 'Trolls'.

Dohrn said: "We wanna be (involved). We'd love that."

The fourth film, 'Shrek Forever After', was released in 2010 and was followed by spin-off 'Puss in Boots' in 2011.

Myers has voiced Shrek in every film with Cameron Diaz playing his wife Princess Fiona, Eddie Murphy as Donkey and Antonio Banderas as Puss.

Rixton's Jake Roche loves being naked, mum Coleen Nolan spills

Rixton singer Jake Roche loves to walk around his home naked, his mother Coleen Nolan has revealed.

The 'Me and My Broken Heart' hitmaker is comfortable in his own skin and is happy to stroll around the family home in his birthday suit, something his prudish mother is envious of.

Coleen, 51, admits she feels too embarrassed to be in the nude at home even if she's just there with her husband Ray Fensome or her 15-year-old daughter Ciara.

Speaking during a discussion about female body hang-ups on ITV daytime show 'Loose Women' on Tuesday (18.10.16), she said: "If I'm at the doctors, I'll just get undressed cause I think that's it their job and they see it all the time ... but at home I feel uncomfortable even if I'm just at home with Ciara.

"I don't where Jake gets it from - he can't be mine - he just doesn't get the whole thing like, 'Ooh, I'm naked, I'm naked.' He's just fine with it, I really admire that."

Coleen - who also has 27-year-old son Shane Roche Jr., whose dad, like Jake, is 'EastEnders' actor Shane Richie - also used her appearance as a panellist on the programme to defend 24-year-old Jake's fiancée Jesy Nelson from criticism her performance with her group Little Mix on 'The X Factor' was too sexy for younger viewers.

Jesy and her bandmates - Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall - were lambasted by some social media users for the booty-baring bodysuits they wore when they debuted their new single 'Shout Out To My Ex' on the TV talent show on Sunday night (16.10.16) but Coleen insists they looked great and have the right to wear what they want as "confident" young women.

She said: "I mean really, they had kind of swimsuits on, they didn't have their boobs out, they weren't showing anything you hadn't seen before. What people forget about Little Mix is that when they first came out they were this very sweet girl band, all very innocent and it was little kids who followed them and then over the years, as you do, you develop as a woman, you experience life more, you get more confident. What I like about them is that they go out there and they're so confident in themselves and for young girls who might have body image issues they go out there and they're all different shapes and sizes and they go, 'yeah, this is me'. I've seen a lot worse, no one says anything when Beyonce comes out in the same stuff.

Although I am bias because they are talking about my future daughter-in-law, I am very protective!"

Netizens hail Chen Xiao as a good father-to-be

With Michelle Chen’s due date fast approaching, netizens have mentioned that she has yet to release any photos of her baby bump, with many curious to know the gender of her firstborn. While she has kept her baby bump hidden from the public eye, recent photos of the 33-year-old have received comments praising the soon-to-be mother for her radiant pregnancy glow.

Michelle, who is currently in her third trimester of her pregnancy, was spotted dining with her husband Chen Xiao in Beijing recently. Chen Xiao headed outside the restaurant for a smoke after dinner and was chatting animatedly with his buddies when he spotted Michelle approaching them.

The ever-attentive husband immediately stubbed out his cigarette and stretched out an arm to hold her hand, with the two whispering to each other and Michelle helping to neaten his hair, which was ruffled by the wind, on their way to the car.

Many netizens have praised Chen Xiao for his caring nature, saying that his instant reaction to stop smoking for the benefit of his unborn child hints that he will make a great father when his child is born.

Lin Chiling is "so envious" of pregnant Ruby Lin

Lin Chiling appeared in a green dress to autograph her calendars for a benefit event. It was the first time she held an autograph session since the initiation of this event eight years ago. She had feared that nobody would come, but the 300 spaces were soon filled up, and some fans even lined up to purchase dozens of copies before wishing her well in finding her Mr. Right.

When the media mentioned that Ruby Lin was pregnant with a baby girl, Chiling said, "I’m so envious, so envious. Now I truly feel that I have accomplished nothing." As Dee Hsu had revealed that Chiling’s script was very "thick" for her cameo appearance in Kevin Tsai’s new movie "Eat Love", Chiling denied it, saying, "There's very little, really." When asked to compare their remunerations, Chiling said smilingly, "Let Kevin tell you next time."

Simon Cowell apologises after making gay joke

Simon Cowell apologised after making a gay sex joke on TV.

The 57-year-old music mogul was participating in a Q&A session on 'Xtra Factor', a spin-off show of 'The X Factor' in the UK, when he made the joke to gay TV presenter Rylan Clark-Neal, who was responsible for opening doors behind which fans could ask Simon a question.

During the segment, Rylan said: "I love a front door."

To which Simon quickly replied: "I thought you liked a back door."

The remark prompted gasps from the TV audience, but Rylan shot back: "Oh Simon! Shall I show you how much?"

Then, realising his mistake, Simon issued an apology for his comment and said it's why he "should never do live TV".

Simon said: "I apologise. I shouldn't have said that. That's why I should never do live TV."

Rylan also downplayed the incident after the show, saying it was a "joke between friends".

The controversy comes shortly after it was announced Simon will continue as a judge on 'America's Got Talent' until 2019.

The Brit is one of the co-creators of the show and has proved a hit with his first stint on the panel this year, so NBC bosses have extended his contract for another three seasons.

Paul Telegdy, NBC Entertainment alternative and reality group president, said in a statement: "It was terrific to see Simon in his judge's chair this past season, bringing his unique expertise and enthusiasm to the show, night after night.

"His brilliance has made 'America's Got Talent' the industry leader that it is today and his ability to evaluate and spot talent is unmatched, so we couldn't be happier to have him seated at the judge's table for the next three years."

Adele wants another baby

Adele is desperate to have another child.

The 28-year-old singer - who already has three-year-old son Angelo with long term partner Simon Konecki - has admitted she has an "ache" in her womb, which tells her she should have another child, although she "won't get pregnant" until her world tour ends next month.

The 'Hello' hitmaker told fans at her concert in Nashville on Saturday (15.10.16): "My son is about to turn four very, very soon.

"I'm starting to get very emotional about it because I feel like once they turn four, they're not really your actual baby anymore.

"So my womb is starting to ache a little bit. It's like, 'Baby, baby, baby. Need a baby, need a baby'. I'm not pregnant. I won't get pregnant until the end of the tour."

The decision comes as a change of heart for the 'Someone Like You' singer, as she told an audience in Minnesota in July that she didn't want to expand her brood.

She said at the time: "I don't think I can have another child. I mean, I can. But I don't think I want two."

But whatever the final decision, the beauty will certainly have the time as it was previously reported she would be taking a long break from touring in order to spend more time with her family.

A source said: "Angelo is the number one priority for Adele. He is the most important thing in her life. She has brought him everywhere with her on tour but as he is starting school next year, he won't be able to join her any more.

"Adele doesn't want to miss a moment of Angelo growing up and it's an easy decision for her to give up touring for him. Right now she is saying she won't do another massive world tour like the current one for another 10 years."
