Kelly Osbourne: Matthew helped me slim
Kelly Osbourne credits her vegan boyfriend for her super-slim figure.

Kelly Osbourne says the healthy meals cooked by her boyfriend Matthew Mosshart have helped her lose weight.

Kelly Osbourne credits her vegan boyfriend for her super-slim figure.

The 27-year-old star has shed a huge amount of weight over the last two years and says meeting Matthew Mosshart gave her the push she needed to lose the final pounds thanks to his healthy cooking.

She revealed: ''Over the past two years, I've lost over four-and-a-half stone (63 pounds) - but I've only lost the last stone since I met Matthew. That's because he cooks for me! He's a vegan chef, so he makes sure that I eat healthily.''

Kelly has swapped dairy, meat and fast food for a diet rich in vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds and is also committed to a rigorous exercise regime.

This combination which she and Matthew follow has resulted in Kelly being the healthiest she has ever been.

She explained: ''I'm happy with how I look now. As long as I'm healthy, do exercise and eat right, that's the main thing. I'm slim now, but I don't want to be anorexic. I love Matthew and we love to work out together - we motivate one another. I go on the treadmill every day for half an hour and do two hours of exercise if I have a special event.''
Christina Hendricks told red hair was 'ugly'
Christina Hendricks' modelling agency thought she looked ''ugly'' when she first dyed her hair red.

Christina Hendricks' modeling agency bosses were unhappy when she first dyed her hair red as they thought she wouldn't get work.

Christina Hendricks' modelling agency thought she looked ''ugly'' when she first dyed her hair red.

The 'Mad Men' star - who is a natural blonde - changed her hair colour when she was modelling early in her career, and despite initial criticism, she decided to keep her flame-coloured look after beating off competition from a number of other models thanks to her new bright tresses.

She said: ''When I first started modelling I was blonde. Then I got a job and they wanted to do my hair bright red. I'd always wanted to, but the head of my agency was like, 'You look terrible, it's so ugly, you cannot have red hair.'

''I came back as a readhead and couldn't get my hair back to blonde for two days - in the meantime I had to audition. I booked two or three jobs, because were a lot fewer redheads than blondes, and I was like, this is working for me, I'm keeping this!''

Christian also credits her flame-coloured locks for helping her to land Hollywood movie roles, such as 2011 action film 'Drive', and she says her hair ensures people remember her.

She said: ''I think it does make you stand out. People remember you when there's a sea of faces. It helps.''

Blake Lively admits her dog is like her child.

The 'Gossip Girl' star - who is married to Ryan Reynolds - wishes she has kids of her own and in the mean time devotes herself to her beloved pooch Penny and her nephews and nieces.

She said: ''My dog is half surrogate child and half the boss. Penny is so sassy and she's packing so much personality. She has the power to very quickly make my world revolve around her. But my nieces and nephews are also surrogate children. I'm just upset that they aren't my own.''

Blake, 25, also revealed how she plays the protective auntie when she's out with children as she wants them to have a normal life as possible.

She said: ''I want the kids in my family to experience normality so, when I'm out and about with them, I try to protect them from the attention I get. If someone comes up to me and asks for a picture, I'll tell the children that I make really great cupcakes and that's why they've heard about me.''
Reese Witherspoon: Tennessee is 'redneck' name
Reese Witherspoon has given her son a ''redneck'' name.

Reese Witherspoon has joked that her three-month-old son's moniker Tennessee is a very ''redneck'' name.

Reese Witherspoon has given her son a ''redneck'' name.

The 36-year-old actress joked that calling her three-month-old child Tennessee - after the US state in which she grew up - is typical of the working class South and made it impossible for her friends to guess whether the baby was a boy or a girl.

While interviewing Reese, her close friend Chelsea Handler joked to the 'Chelsea Lately' chat show audience: ''She wouldn't tell me if she was having a boy or girl. Then you said, 'I'm pretty sure someone's reading our texts', and I said, 'Please don't text me again because I don't want to be blamed.'

''Then you had the baby and you named it Tennessee and I still couldn't figure out if it was a boy or a girl.''

Reese laughed: ''Or just a redneck!''

Tennessee - who was born on September 27- is Reese's first child with her CAA agent husband Jim Toth, and she is thrilled with the tiny tot, gushing that he always looks ''super cute''.

The 'Water For Elephants' actress hasn't been doing all the hard work herself, however, and revealed that her eight-year-old son Deacon and 13-year-old daughter Ava from her first marriage to Ryan Phillippe love looking after their baby brother.

Ava in particular has been a big help, and Reese boasted: ''She's 13 and so awesome.''
Brandy engaged to music executive Ryan Press
Brandy Norwood is reportedly engaged to her boyfriend Ryan Press.

Singer Brandy Norwood allegedly accepted a Christmas proposal from her long-term boyfriend Ryan Press.

Brandy Norwood is reportedly engaged to her boyfriend Ryan Press.

The R&B singer was ''thrilled'' when the music executive - who she has been dating for two years - popped the question this festive season, and the pair can't wait to become husband and wife.

A source told Us Weekly: ''They are thrilled and happy and Brandy feels this is so right.''

It will be the 33-year-old 'Full Moon' hitmaker's first real marriage. She pretended to be married to her ex-boyfriend Robert Smith for two years after having daughter Sy'rai, now 10, because she worried people would think she was a bad role model for having a child out of wedlock.

Brandy came clean in 2008, confessing: ''I lied because of the fear of what people would think and the pressure to be a good role model. Our relationship was very real - we just weren't legally married.''

The feisty singer has often spoken about her desire to tie the knot with Ryan, and hinted in August that she would jump at the chance to accept a proposal from him.

She told Sister2Sister magazine: ''I keep hearing about a ring. People keep calling me, hinting to me about it, but I don't know. I'm going to be patient and let it happen and just let it be... I guess it will happen when it's the right time.''
Kate Winslet & Ned Rocknroll Have Gotten Married

British actress Kate Winslet has gone and tied the knot with some dude named Ned Rocknroll. So we're guessing that makes her Kate Rocknroll? She should totally rock that last name. Ha.

She and Ned got married in a secret ceremony in New York earlier in the month. Her rep confirmed the news, saying, "I can confirm that Kate Winslet married Ned Rocknroll in New York earlier this month in a private ceremony attended by her two children and a very few friends and family. The couple had been engaged since the summer."

Even better, her pal Leonardo DiCaprio was on hand to give her away at the secret ceremony. Rumor has it that the ceremony was so private that neither Kate nor Ned told their parents about it at all.

Rescue Me soul singer Fontella Bass dies at 72
Rescue Me soul singer Fontella Bass dies at 72 after suffering a heart attack

Sixties star: Fontella Bass, pictured in 1965, passed away in St. Louis on Wednesday
St. Louis-born soul singer Fontella Bass has died at 72.
Bass, who hit the top of the R&B charts with Rescue Me in 1965, died on Wednesday night at a St. Louis hospice of complications from a heart attack suffered three weeks ago, her daughter, Neuka Mitchell, said. Bass had also suffered a series of strokes over the past seven years.
'She was an outgoing person,' Mitchell said of her mother. 'She had a very big personality. Any room she entered she just lit the room up, whether she was on stage or just going out to eat.'
Bass was born into a family with deep musical roots. Her mother was gospel singer Martha Bass, one of the Clara Ward Singers. Her younger brother, David Peaston, had a string of R&B hits in the 1980s and 1990s. Peaston died in February at age 54.
Bass' began performing at a young age, singing in her church's choir at age 6. She was surrounded by music, often traveling on national tours with her mother and her gospel group.
Her interest turned from gospel to R&B when she was a teenager and she beg! an her professional career at the Showboat Club in north St. Louis at age 17. She eventually auditioned for Chess Records and landed a recording contract, first as a duet artist. Her duet with Bobby McClure, Don't Mess Up a Good Thing, reached No. 5 on the R&B charts and No. 33 on the Billboard Top 100 in 1965.
Soul singer: The star performing on stage in London, England, circa 1972
She co-wrote and later that year recorded Rescue Me, reaching No. 1 on the R&B charts and No. 4 on the Billboard pop singles chart. Bass's powerful voice bore a striking resemblance to that of Aretha Franklin, who is often misidentified as the singer of that chart-topping hit.
Bass had a few other modest hits but by her own accounts developed a reputation as a troublemaker because she demanded more artistic control, and more money for her songs. She haggled over royalty rights to "Rescue Me" for years before reaching a settlement in the late 1980s, Mitchell said.
She sued American Express over the use of Rescue Me in a commercial, settling for an undisclosed amount in 1993.

Rescue Me has been covered by many top ! artists, ! including Linda Ronstadt, Cher, Melissa Manchester and Pat Benatar. Franklin eventually sang a form of it too - as Deliver Me in a Pizza Hut TV ad in 1991.
Bass lived briefly in Europe before returning to St. Louis in the early 1970s, where she and husband Lester Bowie raised their family. She recorded occasionally, including a 1995 gospel album, No Ways Tired, that earned a Grammy nomination.
Bass was inducted into the St. Louis Hall of Fame in 2000.
Funeral arrangements for Bass were incomplete. She is survived by four children. Bowie died in 1999.

Britney Spears Leaving The X Factor?

Rumor has it that Britney Spears is about to get the royal boot from her judging duties at The X Factor USA. It was very costly for Simon Cowell to have Britney judging the show in the first place, but she was like a zombie this season and it doesn't seem worth it.

The show shocked everyone by coughing up $15 million for her to be on the judging panel. All they got in return was a lot of "I'm so proud of you" and "amazing" comments. Doesn't seem worth it to us at all.

Now that L.A. Reid has announced his departure from the show, it appears that Britney is following him right out the door. A source said that Britney is about to "get the boot". Another snitch said that Simon wasn't too pleased with her work on the show and she is about to be fired from the show.

One source said, "They paid all that for her to say 'amazing' and offer half-claps."

Despite that, a spokesperson for the show is staying mum on any official judge related business. The rep said, "No one has discussed next year's judging panel yet. Any reports otherwise are complete speculation."

What did you think of Britney's judging performance? Keep her or sack her?

All we want for Christmas is to look like Kate, apparently, as the Duchess of Cambridge's delicate nose tops the list of the most requested celebrity face parts by plastic surgery patients this year.
If you thought she was lucky for finding love, marrying a prince and now expecting a baby, it seems her natural beauty can now be added on to the list of things to envy Kate for.

The Super Bass rapper showed off her ample cleavage as she stepped out on Christmas Day evening in a very revealing catsuit.
Nicki, 30, was the guest of honour as she was attending her own festive party which was held at Webster Hall in New York City.

The star made sure that she was centre of attention by wearing the extremely low-cut black ensemble with some feisty shoulder pads at the event.
Nicki had her chest on show as she arrived at the Christmas Extravaganza, and was quite happy to show off her low cut outfit.
The rapper was fairly close to having a wardrobe malfunction as her small and tight outfit was in serious danger of failing to hold her chest together.
Luckily, the Trinidad and Tobago born artist escaped the embarrassment of a nipple slip and made her way into the party escorted by her entourage.
Back to black: The rapper stood out for her extremely low cut catsuit that left little to the imagination
Nicki, who was sporting a sleek bob, teamed the catsuit with a thick black belt and a large pair of red and black sunglasses.
The Christmas Extravaganza is not the only party Minaj has put her name to as earlier this month, it was revealed that she would be hosting a New Year's Eve celebration at PURE nightclub, in Las Vegas.

It is unclear whether Nicki, who celebrated her second multi-platinum album this year when Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded topped both US and UK album charts,! will per! form during her stint.
The New Year's Eve celebration marks the culmination of a big year for the rapper, who also starred in a three-part fly-on-the-wall documentary series, and was appointed a judge on hit show American Idol for which she is expected to earn between $8 to $12 million.
And the $5million fee Nicki is set to receive for the New Year's Eve gig is reportedly $1million more than world-famous superstar Beyoncé is making when she takes home $4million for an invitation-only concert at the rival Wynn Hotel, also in Vegas.

Kylie & Kendall Jenner Got Super Expensive Christmas Gifts

Sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner got some super crazy expensive gifts for Christmas this year. It's the total ultimate in excess and waste and we are disgusted. While we're all like, 'Hey spend it if ya got it', it's quite a different thing when the nation is in a fiscal crisis, people in the world are starving and without healthcare and these nitwits are like "Look at my Benz!"

People has the details:

Kendall, 17, received two pairs of luxe shoes — kicks that we certainly didn't own when we were in high school. She got a pair of black Christian Louboutin Pigalle Spike heels (center), which retail for oh, just $1,195 from her older sister Khloé Kardashian Odom. (Kendall captioned the photo, "whyyy thank you @khloekardashian!!!")

And along with the pumps, Kendall received a more casual, yet equally expensive, pair of Balenciaga boots. (Hers are the center pair in the right picture, above.)

Kylie, 15, also was gifted an accessory with a mega price tag: a black Céline luggage tote (left), which was just named the "It" bag of 2012 and starts at around $2,000. The teen didn't mention who gave her the purse, so perhaps it was a little (okay, not so little) present for herself?

So annoying. Have they no care for charity?

Jessica Simpson Taking Weight Watchers Hiatus During Second Pregnancy

Jessica Simpson lost a rumored 50 pounds after giving birth to her daughter Maxwell Drew. She took $4 million to appear as the spokesperson for Weight Watchers. It seemed like she took the money and ran because she has already announced her second pregnancy. Yes, she lost the baby weight, but her first commercial for the brand was nothing to write home about. (The video was from the neck up!)

We were thinking that Weight Watchers was all gonna be like "See ya" now that Jess announced she's knocked up again. Apparently that's not the case. They are actually keeping her around throughout this pregnancy. Perhaps they want to make sure she's not shoveling mass quantities of cake and whatever into her face hole? They have to protect their investment, no?

Weight Watchers has announced that they will continue to run the ads where Jessica shows off her 50 pound weight loss. In addition, they will also be running her pregnancy announcement ad. They even went as far as saying that her weight loss ad has been successful and she will be taking a hiatus during her pregnancy.

They revealed Jessica "will not be following the program during the pregnancy while her weight and well-being are monitored by her obstetrician."

After she gives birth, she will be going back on the plan with WW to lose weight. We're wondering how many lawyer hours went into hammering out that contract?
