Anne Hathaway on The Devil Wears Prada sequel: "I'd love to do that"

On a potential sequel to the 2006 film, the actress replied: "Wouldn't that be fun? I'd love to do that but I don't know if there is any plan for it." 
She also recalled how Streep greeted her on set before getting into character for the duration of the film shoot.
"She's fun and super maternal," Hathaway said. "When I met her she gave me a huge hug and I'm like, 'Oh my god, we are going to have the best time on this movie', and then she's like, 'Ah sweetie, that's the last time I'm nice to you'.

"She then went into her trailer and came out the ice queen and that was really the last I saw of 'Meryl' for months, until we promoted the film."
In The Devil Wears Prada, Hathaway played Andy Sachs, a young woman who moves to New York and lands a job as the assistant to one of the city's most notorious magazine editors, Miranda Priestly (Streep).
The Graham Norton Show airs tonight (October 31) at 10.35pm on BBC One.

Zac Efron is 'Like a Dictator' to New Girlfriend Sami Miro

When he's not working on his new role as a DJ, actor Zac Efron is reportedly also being a controlling boyfriend - which is not cool.
An exclusive source told OK! magazine some shocking details about the former High School Musical star.

Although Efron and awesome girlfriend Sami Miro have only been dating for a couple of weeks, OK!'s source says “Zac has been like a dictator with Sami ever since they went public. He's micro-managing everything from diet and exercise to her fashion and beauty, and it's driving her crazy!"

OK! also reports that Zac gave her “a catalogue of instructions” - detailing everything from how she should look to how she should eat! Uhhhmmm....Well, now it's clear that “Zac is a very uptight, controlling guy”.
Is this why the hunk's love affairs are seemingly so short lived? Only weeks before getting together with Sami, let us not forget that Zac was in the middle of a torrid summer romance with Michelle Rodriguez, most notably in Ibiza and beyond.

According to the source, Zac also “drove [Michelle] away because she simply couldn’t deal with” his micro-managing.

Piece of (obvious) advice: abusive behavior is never okay, Zac.

The actress is rumoured to be keeping mum about her pregnancy due to Chinese traditional beliefs
image

Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu is speculated to be pregnant with her first child after she was seen with a slightly protruding tummy at an event recently.

Ever since her marriage with Chinese entrepreneur Wang Xiaofei in November 2010, the couple had been trying to conceive a baby but without success. It was rumoured that Wang's mother had ordered the entrepreneur to divorce Barbie as she wants a grandson soon.

However, at an event in Shanghai earlier this month, the 35-year-old was spotted removing her heels and changing to flats right after the event ended. Assisted by her assistant up the stairs and taking extra care, the actress was seen with her tummy slightly protruding which led to rumours that she had successfully conceived a baby.

According to a tip-off, Barbie and Wang had kept the news under wraps due to a Chinese traditional belief that pregnancies should not be announced during the first trimester.

It is rumoured that Wang's family had been preparing tonics for the actress daily and had ordered her to cut down on wearing heels.

Asked during a Q&A at the Bacardi Triangle music event in Puerto Rico where she is heading next with her music, Goulding told Digital Spy and other journalists: "It's kind of hard to tell at the moment. I've done a few songs that I'm really, really happy with. 
"I kind of don't want to give it away so soon! I feel like if I start talking about it now, I'll put it in my own head and it'll affect the process.
"I'm excited about the direction. I think it's easy to do something new and crazy, but I don't really overthink it when I get in the studio. I start a lot of stuff on guitar and I always have someone who plays piano with me.

"I have such an affinity with electronic music, classical music and folk music that so much stuff comes into it. All I'd like to say really is that I'm really happy and excited about the direction."
Goulding will play the Bacardi Triangle music event in Puerto Rico tomorrow night (November 1) alongside Clavin Harris and Kendrick Lamar.
The alcohol brand has taken 1,862 guests to Puerto Rico for a special music event, which will see them travel to a private island in the Bermuda Triangle for the show.

Ian Fang splashes S$1.5m on new home

Ian Fang splashes S$1.5m on new home


image

Three years after his showbiz debut, one of MediaCorp’s fastest-rising stars Ian Fang was happy to announce his “small achievement” at a training workshop helmed by Chinese actor-director Feng Yuan Zheng on Tuesday.

The Shanghai-born actor and his mum recently moved into a condominium unit located in central Singapore. Although the S$1.5 million apartment was bought two years ago, the mother and son only shifted in this year due to renovation work which set Ian back by another five-figure sum.

“We used to pay rental for our living space and now, we’re paying for our home loan. It feels different because we have our own house now,” he shared. “In the past, I would just dump my socks anywhere after getting home. But now, I’ll arrange everything in order and even pick up a strand of hair from the floor.”

With a balcony as big as the living room, Ian’s mother has found herself new favourite hobby of enjoying the glorious view from their 28th storey unit. “There was once when she hugged me and said: ‘Son, you’ve come a really long way!’” the 25-year-old actor chuckled.

image

After his participation in Tay Ping Hui’s directorial debut Meeting The Giant and Ch8 series World at Your Feet in May, Ian, who recently returned to Singapore after filming variety shows Family Wanders and Going Home in Japan and Shanghai, has been missing in action on local TV for over six months.

Fret not, as the “duke” is set to commence filming for new drama Tiger Mummy, where he will be acting alongside Huang Biren. Also, Ian will be involved in the upcoming President’s Star Charity show on Ch5, as well as the third installment of blockbuster trilogy The Journey next year.

“I’m very happy to start filming again! It’s been a while… I think that show business is a service industry and the recipient of my services is the audience,” Ian candidly replied. “Maybe I’ve become more mature or maybe because of the financial burden after shifting house, I’m willing to take on any job that comes along now!”

image

While speaking to xinmsn, Ian also let on that he will be launching a “second product” in December. Calling the project “something that he has prepared for a long time”, the ambitious chap emphasised that he has put in a lot of effort this time round.

“It’s very different. I specially formed a team and flew to different places to source for materials and manufacturing factories,” revealed the actor.

Previously, Ian got fans excited when he hinted about his new endeavour on Instagram. In the post, the thespian showed off a little rap which sparked speculation that he might be dropping a music release. However, Ian denied the claims as his throat has yet to recover from an accident that happened during the filming of Meeting The Giant.

From the way Ian, who first launched his self-designed “First Attempt” T-shirts last year, brandished his cap in front of our cameras, it is highly likely that his new product would be a continuation of his fashion venture.

In fact, the location of their date was none other than Cecilia's apartment and lasted 8 hours! Fans of the 4th Prince and Ruoxi pairing are undoubtedly excited to see their romance blossom off screen.

Kate Tsui refutes rumours of plastic surgery

At a recent event, Hong Kong actress Kate Tsui responded to rumours that she had undergone plastic surgery. The 35-year-old, who is currently busy with the filming of new drama Harmony is Precious, said that reporters do not have proof that she went under the knife. 

Although Kate feels that the reports are “ridiculous”, she does not intend to kick up a fuss and sue the magazine. “They do not have proof and their reports are groundless,” she said. “I don’t even dare to take beauty injections because I’m scared of death!”

Kate also expressed her displeasure about the magazine publishing an unflattering photo of her. “They even claimed that I disappeared for two weeks. Don’t I have to work?” said the actress.

Previously admitted to hospital due to problems with her immune system, Kate shared that she is more concerned about her health above all else.

No more stunts for Jolin Tsai

image

Taiwanese Mandopop diva Jolin Tsai will go back to basics for her world tour next year – to sing and dance without any stunt segments.

She had injured her spine in 2008 training for gymnastic acts, hurt her scapula (near the shoulder), thighs and right ankle dancing ballet a year later and even fell from a metre high during pole dancing practice.

While the 34-year-old has been challenging herself with these high-difficulty stunts and is satisfied with her performances, Jolin announced yesterday at the media conference of her latest album Play that she will leave these stunts to professional dancers who can deliver the acts better than her.

The songstress also stated her perspective as to why artistes engage in these acts, especially after her good friend Wilber Pan’s injury which also happened during a stunt practice. Explaining that different singers have different concepts to their concerts, she feels that they should not be criticised for simply trying to bring an element of surprise to fans.

Jolin, who will still be dancing, added that she hopes to dabble in musicals too. In line with her album promotional activities, she will be filming a reality series which will see her take on different odd jobs. Jolin shared that she wants to try out certain jobs like working in a convenience store, being a surveyor or taxi driver.

Iggy Azalea reveals Fast & Furious 7 cameo details

Iggy Azalea has discussed her cameo in Fast & Furious 7.

The rapper, who recently filmed scenes for the upcoming movie, told Access Hollywood that it was more of a pivotal role than she first thought.

Iggy Azalea performs at 02 Shepherd's Bush Empire on September 17.

Azalea said: "I thought that I was just going to have to wave the flag [in my scene]. And then, I came [to set] and I got a car and I got some lines and then [my character is] friends with Vin [Diesel].

"I'm kind of the head of this monster truck crew of people, and I'm like the girl in charge and I have this big truck."

Azalea admitted that she felt out of her comfort zone on the film's set, and that she has found a new "appreciation" for actors.

"I'm still scared of acting," she said. "It makes me very nervous, because I don't want to be one of those artists that exerts themselves and they don't do a good job. I don't want to do that, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have an amazing time on set... It's really fun to play a character.

"Just for me to say two lines it took like 16 hours of setting up and going over, and I definitely have an appreciation for actors now."

Fast & Furious 7, titled Furious 7 in the US, is released in cinemas on April 3. Watch a trailer below:

Judge orders Lindsay Lohan to stop promoting fashion app

New York Supreme Court judge has ruled that Lindsay Lohan and her younger brother Michael Lohan Jr must stop working on a social fashion app.

The app allows users to take a peek into and shop from the virtual closets of celebrities.

Lindsay Lohan on The Jonathan Ross Show

The judge gave a temporary restraining order against the Lohan siblings and their company Vigme, Inc "that prohibits them from promoting the technology and seeking partnerships and investments for the app", reports The Hollywood Reporter.

On Thursday (October 30), the Lohan siblings were hit with a $60 million lawsuit by Fima Potik, founder of the celebrity fashion website Spotted Friend, as he claimed that they stole the concept from him to form a competing company.

Potik claimed that Vigme, Inc "is identical in nearly every aspect to Spotted Friend".

Potik's lawsuit states that Lohan joined the company in 2013 and was responsible for promoting the app and convincing celebrities to use it. As part of the company, Lohan was privy to confidential information about Spotted Friend.

The judge ruled that the next hearing will happen no later than November 20, when the Lohans will be able to challenge the order.

The Canyons star was previously involved in another lawsuit that she filed against the makes of Grand Theft Auto 5. She claimed that the game based a female character on her without obtaining her permission.

Jay Chou allegedly proposed in Maldives

After dismissing rumours that they have already registered their marriage in May, a new rumour has surfaced saying that Jay Chou has proposed to girlfriend, model-actress Hannah Quinlivan, in Maldives.

According to Singtao Daily, a source claiming to be a friend of the couple recently told the media that Jay popped the question during a vacation in Maldives on 9 August, witnessed by his mother Mrs. Yeh and ten other people who joined the trip.

Reportedly, Jay decided to propose to his future young bride as a gift to Hannah, who turned 21 on 12 August 2014.

However, when asked to address the rumours, both Jay Chou's company JVR and Hannah's manager declined to comment.

JVR stated that the company will not discuss its artiste's private affairs, while Hannah's camp stated that they only knew Hannah went on a vacation on 9 August.

The latter added, "We do not feel comfortable meddling in her personal affair but we will inform the public if there is good news."

Lawrence Ng and wife are getting a divorce

image

It was just two days ago when Hong Kong actor Lawrence Ng said that he was trying hard to salvage his marriage with Chinese actress Shi Yang Zi, but yesterday, he announced on Weibo that they will be getting a divorce.

Thanking everyone for their concern, the 50-year-old wrote: “As a man, I am to blame for not being able to manage my married life well. For the sake of my daughter, I did not want things to end up like this. But things are out of control now and divorce seems to be the best decision for us. I feel regretful and upset and the only thing I can do to reduce the hurt to my daughter is to shower her with more love and do my best to bring her up.”

The couple, who are parents to their 6 year old daughter Xi Er, have been living apart for three to four years. To make a return to showbiz, 29-year-old Yang Zi is said to have left Xi Er in the care of her mother in Changchun, China.

While Lawrence often posts family photos on Weibo, calling Yang Zi “my great wife” and Xi Er “piggy” with captions like “The two most important people in my life”, there were no photos of him among the 821 found on Yang Zi’s Weibo.

Rather, it was Taiwanese singer Annie Yi’s fiancé, Chinese actor Qin Hao, who appeared in three photos on her account where she called him “dearest brother”. In those photos that they took together, the two behaved intimately, leaning on and hugging each other.

Wilber Pan discharged from hospital

imageimage

A week after Taiwanese-based singer Wilber Pan sustained a 17cm-long head injury during a mid-air stunt rehearsal for his concert at the Taipei Arena, he has been discharged from the hospital yesterday.

The 34-year-old expressed gratitude for the concern he received through his management label, “To avoid disturbing the public and other patients, Wilber has returned home to recuperate. We thank the medical personnel of Cathay General Hospital for their care.”

The doctor praised Wilber for his amazing recovery speed, but advised him from wearing any caps in the time being to prevent infection. As he had to shave the hair around the wound, the earliest he can perform again is believed to be in February, after his hair grows out and when he fully recovers.

In addition to the concert, 10 other activities organised by sponsors from now till mid-December have been cancelled too, causing an estimated loss of NT$10million (approximately S$420,000).

After Wilber promised that he will be back for another gig, his manager revealed they have arranged for a new date at the Taipei Arena and the quickest will be next year.
