Taiwanese singer-actress Ella Chen’s has always been energetic and active, even posting a video of her dancing vigorously along to one of her songs whilst eight months pregnant.
Even though the new mother has given birth and is in the middle of her confinement period, she’s still as restless as ever, according to her fellow S.H.E member, Taiwanese singer-actress Selina Jen.
Yesterday, Ella took to her Facebook to share more about her life whilst in confinement and revealed that her husband, Malaysian businessman Alvin Lai has been taking very good care of her. She said Alvin is singlehandedly taking care of the household chores and their families, so that Ella can focus on recuperating whilst in the confinement centre.
However, she revealed that as she cannot stand the heat, she has secretly took a number of cold showers, breaking an age-old confinement rule, where new mothers are not allowed to take cold showers during their confinement period.
Ella’s “cool” confession left fans breaking out in a cold sweat, with some leaving comments calling her “crazy,” as they were worried for her health.
Although she is treated very well at the confinement centre, the 35-year-old’s mother still can’t help but to worry over her wellbeing, said Ella, in her post. Now that she has become a mother herself, Ella finally understands where her mum’s worries stems from.
She also took the opportunity to thank her mother publicly in her post, as Mother’s Day was yesterday.
“Ma, thank you for always loving us so much, I love you too,” Ella wrote. She also shared that this is her first Mother’s Day since becoming a mother and that the day has passed by well. Finally, she ended her post by wishing all the mothers in world a “Happy Mother’s Day”.
Ella tied the knot with Alvin five years ago, and she has regularly kept her fans updated about her blissful wedded life. She confirmed that she was pregnant in October last year, and gave birth on April 12 this year.

Hong Kong singer-actor Aaron Kwok and his new wife, Chinese model Moka Fang were spotted in public for the first time since tying the knot a few weeks ago.

Zac Efron to star as Ted Bundy in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile
The 29-year-old actor will lead the cast of the new movie by 'Paradise Lost: The Child of Murders at Robin Hood Hills' director Joe Berlinger who will tell the shocking true story of Bundy, who raped and murdered numerous young women during a killing spree in the 1970s that shocked America and the world.
Producer Nicolas Chartier spoke to Deadline and said: "Efron can play both the depth and the charm that this guy had in equal measures which allowed him to manipulate these women in such a terrifying way."
Efron shot to fame in Disney franchise 'High School Musical' and since then has taken on a series of comedic roles including starring in movies such as 'Bad Neighbours' and 'Dirty Grandpa' but this part marks a complete change in tone for him.
The Hollywood Reporter say the script will be written by Michael Werde and is set to explore the crimes of the killer through the eyes of Bundy's long-time girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer.
Although years of denying his murders, Kloepfer eventually turned him into the police and she only found the true extent of his actions until he began talking about them closer to his execution.
The actress to play the role of Kloepfer has yet to be revealed.
Efron's own Ninjas Runnin' Wild banner will be producing the movie alongside Michael Simkin and Jason Barrett.
Chartier and Ara Keshishian from Voltage Pictures is reported to be backing the movie and it is set to start filming in October.
Efron is next to be seen starring opposite Dwayne Johnson in the movie reboot of 'Baywatch' and will also star in the upcoming musical 'The Greatest Showman ' with Hugh Jackman marking the first time Efron has been seen in a musical since 'Hairspray' back in 2007.

Blake Lively to play cage fighter in Bruised
The former 'Gossip Girl' star - who won acclaim for her performance in shark attack thriller 'The Shallows' - is to be the lead star in the drama which follows the life of a single mother who has two jobs who must use her mixed martial arts skills order to keep her son.
The movie is to be directed by Nick Cassavetes, who worked on 'The Notebook' and 'The Other Woman', from a story by Michelle Rosenfarb.
Cassavetes was previously expected to direct the 'Road House' reboot starring Ronda Rousey which is understood to have been put on hold following Rousey's high-profile UFC losses and the backlash on gender flipping movies such as 'Ghostbusters: Answer The Call'.
'Bruised' will be presented at Cannes this week.
Thunder Road Pictures' Basil Iwanyk is producing alongside Linda Gottlieb and Guymon Casady of Management 360.
Shooting on the project is expected to start in September.
Blake - who is married to fellow actor Ryan Reynolds, with whom she has daughters James and Ines - has seen her career go from strength-to-strength in recent years, including a role in Woody Allen's Cafe Society.
And the 29-year-old actress recently revealed she now avoids searching for her own name on Google so she doesn't spend too much time reading criticisms of her.
She said: "I have [Googled myself] before and it's just ended in full depression. So I think it's a good rule of thumb not to Google yourself because the Internet is not nice."

Miley Cyrus new song Malibu about Liam Hemsworth
The 24-year-old singer has revealed that her first single since 2013 was written over a year ago and is about her falling in love with the 27-year-old actor and how she wouldn't be her "happy" self without the 'Hunger Games' star in her life.
Asked if it is about him, she said: "It's kind of ... I mean, I definitely would be lying if I didn't say that was the influence of the song.
"The single says, 'I never stopped by the shore, under the sun with my feet in the sand, but you brought me here and I'm happy you did, because now I'm as free as birds in the wind, because I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you, but what I found here is through me and what I needed.'"
The 'Wrecking Ball' singer said she has completely "changed" as a person for the better.
Speaking to Australian radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson on Thursday (11.05.17) morning's 'Kyle And Jackie O Show', she admitted: "The way I think, the way I dress, the way I sound. People make 'you've changed' a derogatory statement, I take it as an amazing compliment.
"You should always be changing, you should always be growing up, you should always be evolving. The one thing you can always count on is change."
Miley also admitted that she is in a much happier and content place than she was four years ago.
She said: "Just four years ago I was sliding down my own tongue, and now you know I'm frolicking on the sand and in the fields."
And, that is partly due to her stopping taking drugs.
Billy Ray Cyrus recently said his daughter has a "joy for life" now that she's stopped smoking marijuana.
He said: "As a dad, I see Miley really just functioning on, like, a figure and a joy for life. I don't know how to break it down more than just the fact that I see a joy in her spirit and something coming from within that is just pure beauty, if you will.
"I think she just found ... she's firing off all cylinders. Her thoughts, her instincts, everything is at the top of its game. Sometimes you have to clear out the junk. And then you realise what's most important. Whatever is going on, it's working for her."

Lynn Hung sparks pregnancy rumours
Hong Kong-based model-actress Lynn Hung tied the knot with Ken Kwok, the younger brother of Hong Kong actress Kenix Kwok, last October. Since the wedding, there has been speculation of her having a bun in the oven and the 36-year-old has also been open about her desire to have a child.
This time around, Lynn and Ken have been spotted holidaying in Taiwan after arriving on May 9. The couple was seen at Taoyuan Airport, with Ken in charge of all their bags. They headed straight to a carting competition as audience members, where their sweet displays of affection towards each other were spotted by others who were present that day.
The next day, they visited a well-known soy bean store, where netizens noticed that Lynn’s appetite was unusually large. This, along with Ken’s consideration towards Lynn at the airport, led to netizens speculating if Lynn has finally had her wish fulfilled and is expecting a child.
Others passed it off as the couple being still in the midst of their honeymoon phase, and that the holiday could have been a baby-making trip for them instead.

Jolin Tsai teams up with her mother for charity
Jolin Tsai has been well-known for her charitable work since her debut as a singer. This year, she announced that she will be doing something special just in time for Mother’s Day – releasing a song, titled ‘Rang Ai Chuan Chu Qu’.
She first heard the song while she was working with NGO (non-government organisation) Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation, where a children’s choir performed the song as part of an event. After hearing the song, Jolin was so moved by it that she asked the producer if she could rearrange and release it.
A spokesman from the organisation shared that they agreed as they hope that this song can have a butterfly effect and bring the message of sharing and love to a larger audience with Jolin on board.
The singer shared that she originally recorded two versions of the song, a heartwarming and an upbeat version, and left the decision of which version to use as the final to her mother. Her mother decided on the former, with the reason being that it is “very touching and has the right feel to it”.
What makes Jolin’s charity work special this time around is that both she and her mother will be promoting the cause together, and the 36-year-old has also let on that she hopes for this track to be a Mother’s Day present for the most important woman in her life.

Ashley Graham thought being pretty was about sex
The 29-year-old model has spoken about the many "mistakes" she made early on in her career in her new book, 'A New Model: What Confidence, Beauty and Power Really Look Like', and admits she felt like she would have been more accepted if people wanted to have sex with her.
Speaking to Vogue, the brunette beauty - who signed to Wilhelmina Models in 2001 - said: "I'm not going to just give you the story half-assed--I'm going to give it to you full-on. For me, being pretty was wrapped up in sex. Being accepted was wrapped up in sex. I don't want women to think like that. I want them to learn from my mistakes."
In the book, Ashley - who is married to Justin Ervin - recalls when she was sexually assaulted aged 10 by the son of her parents' friends, and said it was difficult reading those pages aloud in a recent recital because it's a taboo topic that people, especially women, rarely discuss with each other.
The author explained: "When you read it out loud, it's even more powerful to talk about being sexually assaulted because women just don't do it. It's not a natural conversation that you have with your girlfriends."
Ashely is proud of the impact her story has had on women her age and younger, and thinks it's because she hasn't been afraid to open up.
She said: "I think that the more vulnerable I was, the easier it was going to be for someone to relate to me.
"I definitely think that my body has changed many peoples' lives. I've used my body as a tool to talk about taboo subjects, such as cellulite or being insecure about lower belly fat--and also [how to] talk life into your body and have an affirmation kind of conversation with yourself. And I know the lives that have been."

Wallace Huo, Ruby Lin pray for their daughter’s wellbeing
After tying the knot and welcoming their baby daughter, nicknamed “Little Angel” in Chinese, celebrity couple Wallace Huo and Ruby Lin have rarely been spotted together due to their busy schedules.
Yesterday, however, a fan spotted the couple at the Hsing Tian Kong temple in Taipei, with Wallace sporting a freshly shaved head due to his role in the Chinese period drama, Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace. Wallace and Ruby were both dressed in casual tees and jeans, with Ruby sporting a pair of sunglasses.
The lovebirds walked discreetly around the temple, with a set of baby clothes in their hands, according to the fan. Fans then guessed that they must have gone to the temple to pray for the well-being and obtain blessings for their four-month-old daughter.
The whole affair is believed to be a traditional Taoist ceremony that is common in Taiwan, and is believed to help in driving away evil influences or spirits that may linger around a child. The Hsing Tian Kong’s ritual is also said to be particularly effective.
Ruby tied the knot with Wallace in Bali last August. The couple remained fiercely private about their personal life, especially Ruby’s pregnancy, after the wedding. The birth of their daughter in January was only announced days after her delivery.

Michelle Chen stuns with new photoshoot
Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen, who gave birth to her first child, a boy nicknamed “Xiao Xing Xing” in December last year, has regained her pre-pregnancy figure.
The 33-year-old, who was once nicknamed “soup dumpling,” and dubbed “the ugliest Xiao Long Nu” for her round face and stout figure whilst filming the period drama The Romance of the Condor Heroes, stunned netizens when pictures of her latest pictorial was posted online.
The pictorial, which was themed “home-chic” saw Michelle garbed in a simple pair of white shorts and a tank top, lounging about in various places. One of the pictures that gained the most attention from netizens was the one where Michelle showed off her slender legs, with netizens expressing their envy at her slim figure and long legs.
Previously, Michelle herself had posted on her Facebook account that she had covered up her flaws with her clothes, and that the photographer had shot some pictures from a lower angle to give viewers the illusion that she had longer legs.
“[I] should give the photographer an extra chicken drumstick [for his photography skills],” she joked.
Michelle tied the knot with Chinese actor Chen Xiao, after dating for seven months, in July last year, on the actor’s birthday and announced that she was three months pregnant. The pair first met while filming Chinese drama The Romance of the Condor Heroes in 2014.

Danielle Lloyd wears pyjamas on the school run
Danielle Lloyd does the school run in her pyjamas.
The 33-year-old former glamour model - who is expecting her first child with partner Michael O'Neill and has sons Archie, six, Harry, five, and George, three, with ex-husband Jamie O'Hara - can't be bothered to make the effort to get dressed before dropping her kids off in the morning, so simply takes them out while still in her bedwear, and she doesn't care what the other parents might think of her fashion choice.
Writing in her column for Closer magazine, she shared: "Getting my three sons up at 7.30am can be tricky. Michael and I will get them ready and give them breakfast then I'll take Archie and Harry to school. Sometimes I'll do the run in my pyjamas - I don't care what I look like. I'll come back and have breakfast at around 9am."
Danielle admits her fourth pregnancy has left her "exhausted" but there are small things she does to stay cheerful and positive as she waits for her fourth boy to make his entrance into the world.
She said: "My pregnancy has left me feeling exhausted and I don't have a lot of energy. I like to get my nails done as it makes me feel much better."
After a bitter split from former Tottenham Hotspur soccer player Jamie in 2014, Danielle never dreamed she'd have turned her life around and be as happy as she is now.
She said: "I still believe in marriage, despite my past experiences. There are the right people for each of us and the wrong people - it's just a case of waiting until the ideal person comes along. I couldn't have imagined three years ago I'd have a future as bright as the one I have ahead of me, a fiancé and a baby boy on the way. You shouldn't ever give up hope of a happy ending."

CHRIS PRATT 'KNOCKED OUT' FILMING GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2
Chris Pratt got "knocked out" performing stunts for 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'.
The 37-year-old actor reprises his role as Peter Quill and his alter-ego Star-Lord in the second instalment of the Marvel Comics movie franchise, and has said he suffered a blow which "essentially knocked him out" when he was trying to perform his own stunts for the movie.
He said: "It's a really stunt-heavy movie, through the course of the whole film for everyone. We were suspended from wires, we did a whole bunch of stunts. I got my bell rung pretty, pretty good. One time I essentially got knocked out." And the star - who has four-year-old son Jack with his wife Anna Faris - has now learned that it's best to let the seasoned professionals carry out the stunts.
He added during an appearance on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' on Wednesday (04.05.17): "You always want to let the stunt people do them or their own version of it. Usually when you do it, it's for your own ego and they let you do that. Then the stunt person comes in and does it and that's what they use in the movie. So it's just another way for us actors to feed our egos, because there aren't enough."
Meanwhile, Chris recently revealed that whilst his son is aware of his on-screen superhero persona, the young child prefers the world-saving antics of Spider-Man.
Speaking about his son, Chris said: "He knows the first part of the film. I don't know if he thinks it is cool but he has seen the movies that I am in. He knows that I am Star-Lord.
But as a matter of fact when I ask him 'who is your favourite superhero Star-Lord', he says 'no Spider-Man'. He just likes Spider-Man better."

CHRIS PRATT: 'RAMBO MADE ME WHO I AM TODAY
Chris Pratt has credited 'Rambo' for making him "who I am today".
The 37-year-old actor has revealed Sylvester Stallone, who portrayed as the lead role as John Rambo in the movie franchise, was his biggest influence growing up, and the the 1980 movies he featured in encouraged him to embark on a career in the acting industry.
Speaking about his career and his 70-year-old idol on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' on Wednesday (03.05.17), the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star - who plays the role of Peter Quill and his alter-ego Star-Lord in the Marvel Comics production - said: "That was my childhood growing up, and coincidentally the childhood of Peter Quill. His whole ideology is based on his pop icons from that 80s era. And Syl Stallone and Kurt Russell has such an influence on my childhood. "Stallone from 'Tango & Cash' and of course 'Rocky' but 'Rambo'. 'Rambo', for me, that made me who I am today. He is so good."
And the dark-haired hunk - who has four-year-old son Jack with his wife Anna Faris - has revealed he even had his own survival knife because he felt so inspired by the Vietnam war veteran, who now joins him for a cameo appearance in 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'.
He explained: "I had a survival knife. You unscrewed the top so you could navigate your way to safety, some waterproof matches, a little fishhook and some line just in case you are going to get stuck in the woods for a long time, you are going to catch some dinner. And a sewing kit should you fall off a cliff and cut your arm, the way he did in 'First Blood', you can sew that together, and that won't get infected."

Edison Chen causes a scene at Hong Kong airport
Since March this year, rumours that Edison Chen was finally settling down and starting a family started to circulate. This came after industry insiders revealed that he and his girlfriend, Chinese model Qin Shupei, were expecting their first child together.
Although neither party has confirmed nor denied the pregnancy rumours, recent reports suggest that Shupei has secretly delivered their daughter in the United States.
Making his return to Hong Kong for the first time since the speculation started, reporters awaited the 36-year-old’s arrival and rushed towards him in an attempt to verify the rumours.
Among the first words to the media were, “I often go on holiday” in response to queries on where he was before returning to Hong Kong. Shortly after, his patience wore thin as he lashed out at the reporters who repeatedly asked about Shupei and their alleged daughter.
He also whipped out his phone to record the situation, while threatening that he would no longer hold back if they continued their relentless probing.
With the media trailing after him, Edison got even more upset with them, with some media outlets reporting that he was on the verge of physically attacking them.
He did, however, shout, “I’m a terrible person!” before quickly escaping to the carpark with his manager’s assistance.

Vivian Hsu gives up toilet breaks to care for son
Earlier this week, Vivian Hsu shared that she went for three days without sleep as her son, Dalton, was down with a nasty bug.
She let on that he had a persistent high fever, cough, throat inflammation and runny nose and that she was heartbroken seeing her usually bubbly son battle against his sickness.
In a video update on her Facebook page yesterday, netizens were heartened to see that Dalton looks much better and is back on his feet.
The video, which starts off with Dalton trying to open a locked door, has the little boy trying his best to get into the restroom where his mother is having a toilet break.
While inside, she tells him, “Hold on, mummy is in the restroom!” Dalton, however, persists in trying to get to his mother and was only appeased when Vivian emerged from behind the door and picked him up from the floor and kissed him. Sam Claflin has been cast in 'Semper Fi'.
The 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' actor will star in the new crime thriller by 'Murderball' writer and director Henry-Alex Rubin with David Lancaster of Rumble Films and Karina Miller from Sparkhouse Media producing.
Speaking to Variety, Miller said: "I couldn't be more excited about 'Semper Fi'. At its core, it's about what it means to truly stand by the people you love. It's thrilling and entertaining but also emotional.
"In a market where it's a struggle to get people to leave their house and actually go see a movie we plan to make a film that will do just that - get people to the theatre, entertain them and make them feel something."
Producer Lancaster said he couldn't "shake the passionate feeling" he had for Rubin's ability to draw realistic characters. He added: "From the moment I read this script, I couldn't shake the passionate feeling I have always had for the iconic film 'Deerhunter'.
"Henry has shown a unique ability to draw realistic characters combined with a strong sense of place. Brotherhood, loyalty, family ... with a thrilling escape. I'm in!"
The 30-year-old actor will star as Hopper, a straight-laced police officer who spends his downtime as a sergeant in the Marine Corps Reservists with some close friends, keeping an eye on his young brother Oyster.
When Oyster accidentally kills a man in a bar-room fight, Hopper stops him fleeing and makes him turn himself in. However, after returning from serving in Iraq, Hopper learns his friends are trying to break Oyster out of jail. Claflin, who also starred in 'Me Before You', will be seen next in 'The Nightingale' and 'My Cousin Rachel'. 'Semper Fi' is due to start production in Vancouver this summer.

Scooby Doo revival delayed for two years
The 'Scooby Doo' revival has been delayed by two years.
Warner Bros. Studios announced in 2015 that they were bringing back everyone's favourite mystery solvers in a new animated production but now the film has been delayed for two years after being previously set for a September 2018 release.
Back in 2015, Warner Bros. creative president Greg Silverman said: "Like countless fans, I have always loved the Hanna-Barbera cast of characters. "As one of their most famous brand ambassadors, Scooby-Doo will take the lead in re-introducing this pantheon of enduringly popular animated stars on a grand scale with an exciting new movie."
'Space Jam' director Tony Cervone is on board with the film and was set to be joined by Dax Shepard, denofgeek.com reports. Cervone has an impressive track record in the sphere of animated movies, with a host of writing and production credits to his name, and is seen by the studio as the ideal candidate to reintroduce one of the genre's biggest stars.
'The Iron Giant' and 'Frankenweenie' producer Allison Abbate is also rumoured to be part of the new movie adaptation of the beloved TV series.
Two previous live-action movies, featuring the likes of Freddie Prinze Jr and Sarah Michelle Gellar, hit the big screen between 2002 and 2004.
And the producers of those films, Charles Roven and Richard Suckle, are also involved in the new project. No further casting has been revealed as of yet about who will voice Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby.
It has also been reported that the studios are looking to bring a new animated 'The Jetsons' movie to the big screen as well.
The new movie has been given a proposed release date of May 15, 2020.

Hong Kong actress Rosamund Kwan, who was recently embroiled in rumours that she was dating a member of Korean boyband Super Junior-M, Zhou Mi, shared at an event recently that she has given up on love.
The 54-year-old, who announced in November 2015 that she had split from her second husband, Taiwanese businessman Pierre Chen, let on that she is not looking for love at the moment.
“I’ve already given up [on love], a relationship is currently last [on my list of priorities]. If we’re fated, then I’ll think about it,” she said. Rosamund also revealed that she actually has a ‘bucket list’ of 10 things that she wants to try, which she compiled when she was 50. “The first is to set up a brand, the second is to learn how to ski, while the third is to learn how to play the drums,” Rosamund listed, letting on that she has already completed half of the tasks on the list.
The actress divulged that skiing is now her favourite hobby, while the next thing that she wants to try would be to “learn how to play chess, that’s the hardest [for me]”.
When the media present suggested that the actress might be able to snag herself a chess player as a boyfriend, she laughingly said, “Wouldn’t he be very stiff, just like a stone statue, then? That’s good, actually, [I] can stave off the onset of dementia.”

Charlotte Rae has bone cancer
Charlotte Rae has been diagnosed with bone cancer.
The 91-year-old actress - who is best known for playing Edna Garrett in 'The Facts of Life' and 'Diff'rent Strokes' - revealed she had also previously secretly battled pancreatic cancer seven years ago.
She told People magazine: "Last Monday, I found out I have bone cancer. "About seven years ago, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer - which is a miracle that they found it because usually it's too late. "My mother, sister and my uncle died of pancreatic cancer.
After six months of chemotherapy, I was cancer-free. I lost my hair, but I had beautiful wigs. Nobody even knew." The 'Pretty Little Liars' actress is currently weighing up her options but thinks she will accept a course of treatment to fight the disease.
She added: "So now, at the age of 91, I have to make up my mind. "I'm not in any pain right now. I'm feeling so terrific and so glad to be above ground. Now I have to figure out whether I want to go have treatment again to opt for life. I love life. I've had a wonderful one already. I have this decision to make. "I think I'm going to go for [treatment].
The side effects were not too bad when I did it originally. I've had a great life, but I have so many wonderful things happening. I'd like to choose life. I'm grateful for the life I've already had." Charlotte hopes her fans can learn to embrace every single day of their lives.
She said: "At 91, every day is a birthday. [In my book, 'The Facts of My Life'] I want to tell everybody to celebrate every day, to savour the day and be good to yourself, love yourself, and then you can be good to others and be of service to others."

We fact-checked the Madonna film script
The focus of her rage is Universal Pictures, who snapped up a script about the singer's early years in New York earlier this week.
Madonna sought out a copy of the screenplay, called Blonde Ambition, and immediately declared it to be "all lies". "Nobody knows what I know and what I have seen," the 58-year-old fumed on Instagram. "Only I can tell my story. Anyone else who tries is a charlatan and a fool.
Looking for instant gratification without doing the work. This is a disease in our society." Penned by first-time writer Elyse Hollander, Blonde Ambition topped last year's Black List, Hollywood's annual chart of the best unproduced screenplays.
The list has previously featured future Oscar-winners such as Spotlight, The Revenant, Argo and American Hustle - so it's no surprise that Universal nabbed the rights. Two major producers have already been attached to the project, Michael De Luca (The Social Network) and Brett Ratner (X-Men), who himself directed Madonna's Beautiful Stranger video in 1999.
However, it's clear that the project doesn't have the star's approval. In theory, that's not a barrier to the film getting made, but the script relies heavily on Madonna's music, including Like A Virgin, Everybody and Lucky Star.
If the singer vetoes their use, the project would essentially be dead in the water. But how inaccurate is Hollander's script? We read a publicly available draft to see how closely it stuck to Madonna's story. While the arc is broadly true, Hollander compresses and condenses events, even creating composite characters to keep up the momentum.
Here's what's true, and what isn't. The first act of the script focuses on Madonna's pre-fame band The Emmys, which she formed with her boyfriend Dan Gilroy and childhood friend Stephen Bray, who went on to co-write Into The Groove, Express Yourself and True Blue. Their name derived from Madonna's childhood nickname, and video footage of their scrappy garage tunes can easily be found online.
The film insists the group were a cheap knock-off of new wave pop band Blondie, but their sound was more indebted to Britain's ska and 2 Tone scenes. Madonna can even be heard adopting a British accent in some of their early demos.
Madonna's most public mishap came at the 2015 Brit Awards, when she was yanked off stage by a cape. But it had happened once before - at the first MTV Awards in 1984, when she lost a stiletto while walking down a 17ft (5m) tall wedding cake in her wedding dress (it could happen to anyone).
Although the incident plays a pivotal part in Blonde Ambition - has she lost the baby? - it was never as serious as the script makes out. "I thought, 'Well, I'll just pretend I meant to do this,'"
Madonna later said. "So I dove on the floor and I rolled around. And, as I reached for the shoe, the dress went up. And [my] underpants were showing." The stumble-flash made television history and propelled Madonna to even greater heights. And that's where the film drops the curtain.

Jay Chou, Hannah Quinlivan spotted at a nightmarket
A netizen recently uploaded a picture of a couple’s back views at the Kenting Night Market, claiming that the couple in the picture was Mandopop star Jay Chou and his wife, model Hannah Quinlivan.
The netizen shared that at that time, the couple was recognised by a number of bystanders as well, who silently followed behind the lovebirds as they made their way through the market.
He also shared that the couple didn’t seem to mind the people following and taking pictures of them as well.
In the picture, Jay can be seen wearing an embroidered denim jacket, while Hannah is clad in a loose maxi dress. Fans immediately left comments praising the couple’s good relationship, as well as Hannah, who’s currently five months pregnant, for her good figure.
However, a number of fans also remained sceptical about the identity of the couple, as Jay did not look as tall as the male in the picture, casting doubt over the authenticity of the netizen’s sighting and inciting a heated discussion.
Jay and Hannah tied the knot in January 2015 and welcomed their first child, Hathaway Chou, 2, in July the same year.
The couple announced that they are expecting their second child, a son, in January this year.

Sandy Lam rejects proposal from boyfriend
The couple first revealed their relationship in 2011, with Jun Kung supporting her as her drummer during her concert tours. When Sandy’s contract with her record label ended, she also signed on to Jun Kung’s music label as an artist.
Since they got together, there have been rumours about their plans to get married. Sandy’s recent participation in the singing reality show, Singer 2017, also sparked rumours that she will be sharing news about her plans to tie the knot upon her win. Jun Kung was reported to have proposed to the 51-year-old successfully, after many failed attempts, further fueling speculations.
However, latest reports about their relationship alleged that he was rejected as Sandy was afraid that the marriage will affect her 18-year-old daughter, Renee Lee.
When asked to comment on the matter, Sandy’s manager declined to comment on the duo’s relationship and gave a one-word reply when asked about the proposal: “No.” In his previous interviews, Jun Kang shared that they have no plans to get married at all.

Orlando Bloom had crush on Emma Bunton
Orlando Bloom had a crush on Emma Bunton when she was in the Spice Girls.
The 40-year-old actor - who is father to six-year-old son Flynn with his ex-wife Miranda Kerr - is single again after recently splitting from Katy Perry and during an interview on Baby Spice's Heart Radio Breakfast Show on Thursday morning (27.04.17) he flirted up a storm with the blonde beauty. Orlando, 40, was on the show to promote his new film 'Unlocked' and he told 41-year-old Emma - who has sons Beau, nine, and Tate, five, with husband Jade Jones - that he has always had a soft spot for the '2 Become 1' singer from her days in the girl group.
Whilst discussing his co-star Noomi Rapace's CIA agent character in his action movie, he said: "The world's about strong women today, isn't it, of course Emma started that whole women's movement with the Spice Girls ... are you getting back to that by the way? Are those rumours true? Emma - who was rumoured to be reforming with bandmates Geri Horner and Mel B this summer - replied: "No, they're not true I'm afraid." Orlando cheekily added: "Aww I'd love to see you jumping around in one of those little outfits again!"
To which a flattered Emma replied: "Thanks Orlando, I could just get one on now..." Before he interjected to reveal: "I had a crush on you, yeah I did, yeah." Turning a shade of red on hearing his revelation, Emma asked: "Did you, was I your favourite?"
Orlando replied: "Yeah" Emma teased: "I'm going to put an outfit on for you now! Just for you!" Emma also took to Instagram and Twitter to tell her fans and radio listeners that Orlando was in the studio, she tweeted a meme of her, co-star Jamie Theakston and Orlando blowing a kiss, with the caption: "@orlandobloom in the house!!!! #hot" And she followed it with a clip of Orlando's confession, to which she captioned, "orlandobloom admits he has a crush on @EmmaBunton" with an emoji of a person with their hands in their air celebrating.

Professor Green pens song for Craig David in hospital
Professor Green has come up with a song for Craig David while in hospital.
The 33-year-old rapper is currently being treated for "stomach bloating" following his triple hernia operation and has been spending his time "constructively" writing some lyrics which he thinks would suit the 35-year-old Garage legend.
Sharing a short clip of himself in bed singing the lines he has for the 'Nothing Like This' hitmaker on Instagram on Thursday (27.04.17), he captioned the post: "Constructive use of hospital time. Garage vibes I reckon. @craigdavid my bro what you saying??? Wanna make this sound proper? (PS: I look like a melon when i sing). (PPS: hear this on the voice of Craig David and you'll get what's going round in my head) (sic)"
In the video he sings: "I've got a feeling that you are looking for a reason, looking for a reason, to leave/ I've got a feeling that you are looking for a reason, looking for a reason to because nothing ain't ever enough, nothing that I do is never good enough for you."
Green is the "second person in the world to have an allergic reaction to the mesh" used to fix his hernia.
The 'Lullaby' hitmaker - real name Stephen Manderson - was admitted to hospital last week to have three ruptures fixed in a five-hour operation and he has been keeping his fans updated on his condition via social media.
He was discharged but then had to be re-admitted and hooked up to a catheter due to bloating and he revealed the cause of all his problems is a rare, but severe, allergic reaction and other complications including pneumonia and a partially collapsed lung.
He wrote: "I'm on the mend. Turns out I'm only the second person in the world to have an allergic reaction to the mesh used to fix my hernia. I've had a giggle on Instagram but here's the reality. I didn't wanna worry anyone, least of all my nan. I came back to hospital with pneumonia, a partially collapsed lung, distension, fluid build up and ileus (my guts had shut down).
"I'm getting better. Everything is starting to work again, all my bloods are looking better and I finally got some sleep last night.
"If I seemed a bit emotional at times it's been because I've been awake most hours of each day and it becomes quite a lot like torture when you have your entire life taken away from you and you're stuck in a room in the most uncomfortable and painful situation you've ever been in (I've only been taking paracetamol as opiods make the problem even worse), not to mention the anxiety that comes with not knowing why any of this is happening. (sic)"
Green - who was previously married to 'Made in Chelsea' star Millie Mackintosh from 2013 to 2016 - also posted some graphic images of the operation to show how he "f ***** up genetically". But he has promised that once he is well again he will be dropping some new music.
He wrote: "Anyway. Here's some graphic images to show you how f***ery this should-be simple procedure has been due to me being so uniquely f***** up genetically. For anyone who thought I was making a mountain out of molehill ... I don't even wish this upon you. I wish worse. LOVE. PS: I've been nil by mouth for a week. It isn't hard to p*** me off right now. I NEED A F****** NANDOS. PPS: SAP? I've dealt with more f***ery than most and I still make light of it. I'm about to drop a BELTER for summer and got three new docs coming which I've filmed or filmed partially while I was sick as a dog. They're still f****** brilliant. Life is great and if I can't salute my hard b****** of a woman without being called a sap or you thinking I've gone 'soft' [sic] then you man must be verrrrry insecure, I feel sorry for the ladies in your lives. Love is for grown ups and those comfortable enough in their skins to express it. LOVE X10000000. (sic)"

Jesy Nelson's ex-boyfriend Chris Clark has hinted he was in love with another woman during their relationship.
The reality TV star split from Jesy earlier this month, with reports suggesting he felt uncomfortable with the attention surrounding their romance - but the dark-haired hunk has now admitted he was never truly over the emotional heartbreak of his split from ex-girlfriend Amber Dowding.
He said: "I think these past weeks make me realise that I thought I was over her, I did think that. And maybe I'm not so sure any more."
Amber has recently been hospitalised by a mystery illness, but Chris admitted the situation has helped him to realise what she means to him.
The 'Only Way Is Essex' star explained: "I am now single and I see Amber ... I see her at the hospital. She was quite ill. So I messaged her on Twitter and just said 'I didn't like seeing you lie that. I hope you get better'. Despite what's gone on, her being in my life makes me happier. That's the bottom line."
And Chris - who dated Jesy from February until earlier this month - suggested he retains a hope that he will eventually rekindle his romance with Amber.
He said: "I feel like if I kept putting that to the back of my head, two or three years down the line if she didn't find anyone else I would regret not doing stuff like this."
Chris explained, too, that in spite of his past issues with Amber, he'll always think of her fondly.
He shared: "At the end of the day, I'm a human being, I do have feelings, and I do care for the girl. I always have done, and I always will do."

Kylie Jenner slams Rob Kardashian's relationship with Blac Chyna
Kylie Jenner thinks Rob Kardashian's relationship with Blac Chyna is "unhealthy".
The 19-year-old reality TV star has admitted it's become increasingly hard for her to support Rob's on/off relationship with the 28-year-old model, who is the mother of his five-month-old daughter Dream.
Kylie - who previously dated Chyna's ex-boyfriend, rapper Tyga - said: "It's really hard to support a relationship that's really unhealthy, especially when it's hurting my brother and now it's affected me.
"I just wish they could just stop this kind of roller-coaster ride." Kylie allowed Rob and Chyna to live in one of her homes because she wanted to support their relationship. But the teenage businesswoman was angered to discover that her property had been trashed during one of the couple's intense arguments.
Speaking on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians', Kylie explained: "I agreed, cause me and Chyna kinda put everything behind us, and my brother seemed really happy and I wanted him to enjoy his new life and I wasn't here to block anyone's blessing. "But my mom calls me to kind of keep me informed on what's going on in my home, and apparently Chyna threw something at my television that I left there. It's just a little disrespectful and I wouldn't do that in anyone else's home."
And in a conversation with her sister Kendall, Kylie warned that things could continue to get worse between Rob and Chyna over the coming months.
She said: "It's just really sad and I don't think it's going to end well." Kylie's thoughts have been echoed by Rob's sister Kim, who said the relationship "just isn't that healthy".
Kim added: "It's so clear what this relationship is and that they're just not meant to be with each other."

Ady An’s husband didn’t have a good first impression of her
The road to love was a rocky one for Taiwanese actress Ady An and her businessman husband, Chen Ronglian.
In a recent interview, the 36-year-old revealed more details about their relationship, and how the couple first met.
According to Ady, when she first saw Ronglian, she could not care less about him. As for Ronglian, he left their first meeting with a bad taste in his mouth due to Ady’s cold attitude.
Later, when the couple crossed paths for the second time, Ronglian began pursing Ady in earnest. However, Ady felt that the businessman was not truly attracted to her, and that he only wanted to score a celebrity girlfriend.
The actress also did not want to be known as one of the many female celebrities who had tied the knot with rich businessmen, thus, she rejected him. After the duo got closer together, Ady realised that their views on love and relationships were exceedingly similar. “He was willing to spend his most precious asset, time, to be with me,” Ady shared, adding that that was the one thing that touched her heart.
Additionally, the lovebirds both preferred to keep a low profile, which was why their relationship was only revealed after they got hitched.
The actress also shared that after getting into a relationship, she started reducing her workload, as she doesn’t want to be apart from her husband for too long, describing herself as a “tiger that has become a cat.” Ady also let on that Ronglian once drove from Macau to Guangzhou in the middle of the night just to deliver medicine for her flu, causing her to laugh that she has “married the correct man.”
The 36-year-old revealed more details about her June wedding, sharing that as they both like the sun, they’re planning to hold it on an island. After the island ceremony, they will return to Taiwan to hold another banquet.
However, she declined to share more details about her bridesmaids. Ady also affirmed that the couple has no plans to start a family, and that they have yet to decide on a honeymoon location.
Finally, when asked if Ady felt disappointed that her good friend, Taiwanese singer-actor Shone An, who passed on in 2015 due to liver cancer, is unable to attend her wedding, the actress replied, “I don’t feel sad, because [I know] that he’ll definitely attend. He really likes my husband, and [Shone] approves of him.”
Ady announced her flash marriage to her boyfriend of two years, Hong Kong multimillionaire Chen Ronglian last month (March 15), shocking fans with the sudden news.

Rainie Yang laughs about accidental Facebook post with Lee Ronghao
Back then, Rainie had accidentally uploaded an intimate selfie of herself with Chinese singer Li Ronghao on his Facebook account whilst using his phone.
The photo was swiftly deleted once Rainie realised her mistake, but by then, fans and netizens alike had taken screenshots of the picture, thus revealing the couple’s relationship. When reporters asked if she’d still slip up when using her new phone, Rainie laughed, “I’m hoping that the new phone will be easy to use for me, so that I wouldn’t make such a mistake again”.
The 32-year-old also revealed that she has more photos of her beloved pooch than Ronghao on her phone, and that she “trembles with fear” every time she uploads a photo.
Rainie also revealed her secret to taking a good selfie, sharing, “I see a lot of girls who like to take their photos from a high angle to make their eyes appear bigger, but I prefer to take my photos from a normal angle, as I don’t want to lose sight of reality.”
In other non-related news, Rainie, who left her previous record company last year to establish her own personal studio, shared that she has more responsibilities to take on now.
The singer-actress divulged that she doesn’t dare to go on holiday for too long, and that she’s currently learning how to read statistical reports and the like.
However, she has no patience for numbers, and gets tired very easily whenever she’s faced with the reports.

Victoria Beckham posts gushing tribute to husband David Beckham
The 43-year-old fashion designer was honoured with an OBE by Prince William at Buckingham Palace in London on Wednesday (19.04.17) and has since taken to Instagram to share a gushing post about her family's support.
Alongside a picture of her mother, her retired soccer star spouse, herself and her father, she wrote on the photo-sharing app: "I love u @davidbeckham and my wonderful parents," she wrote on Instagram on Thursday. "Thank you for always supporting and encouraging me to follow my dreams. #OBE #BuckinghamPalace X VB. (sic)"
Shortly after, the brunette beauty's 18-year-old son Brooklyn Beckham sent his mother a well done message. Sharing the picture of Prince William placing a brooch on Victoria, he wrote: "AMAZING. Congrats mum. You deserve it. (sic)" The Spice Girl - who also has Cruz, 12, Harper, five, and Romeo, 14, with David - said on the day she felt "honoured and humbled" to receive the special title.
She said: "It was an absolute pleasure to be at Buckingham Palace today. I'm proud to be British, honoured and humbled to receive my OBE from the Duke of Cambridge. "If you dream big and work hard you can accomplish great things. I'm so happy to share this very special occasion with my parents and husband. Without their love and support, none of this would be possible."
Victoria was supported at the event by David - who received his own OBE in 2003 - whilst their son Romeo also took to Instagram to congratulate his mother on the honour.
Captioning a photo of Victoria receiving her award, he wrote: "I want to say how proud I am of my mum today as she received her OBE... She works so hard and really deserves this honour.. We love you mum x @victoriabeckham (sic)"

Bella Hadid says Gigi is her 'best friend'
Bella Hadid's sister Gigi is her "best friend".
The 20-year-old model has followed Gigi, 21, into the fashion industry and Bella admits to relying on her sibling for guidance with her own career.
She told MailOnline: "Gigi is my best friend and I love her to death. "She's been through everything I'm going through now because she's been in the business longer. "If I'm sad I'll call her and she always makes me happy again. She's the best, I love her."
The Hadid sisters have historically had markedly different tastes in fashion, but Bella has revealed they've increasing started to swap outfits in recent years. The dark-haired beauty explained: "When we were 13, she wore lots of colour and was like Malibu girl.
"But I always wore dark colours and leather. Both our styles are evolving more now. I go to her house now and she has all my stuff, we always end up sharing things. "We share shoes, literally everything. I don't even remember giving it to her and she will completely deny everything until the death of her."
In addition to her sister, Bella also relies on her close friends and family to ensure she doesn't get carried away by her own success. The model said she surrounds herself with honest people in order to stay grounded.
Bella shared: "It's tough, but I keep the people around me I've known since I was a kid. They know who I am and tell me not to be a b***h if I am." Bella also said meditation plays a key role in keeping herself grounded in reality.
She explained: "I meditate to start the day. I have a meditation music list that helps me sleep. I like to listen to music and be around my friends. "I'm very lucky that my job lets me travel the world. I went sky-diving twice in Dubai last week, which was just incredible. Jamaica is my favourite place."
