Prince George to visit New Zealand next year?

Prince George to visit New Zealand next year?

Britain's Prince George is to visit New Zealand next year.
The royal tot and his parents Prince William and Duchess Catherine are set to take a trip to the island at some point during 2014 but, despite it being an election year for the country, Prime Minister John Key can't see a reason why the trio can't visit. 
Speaking TVNZ's Breakfast show, he said: 'If they come in the election period - it's generally seen as that period where sort of three months beforehand - then there are all sorts of rules that apply there.'
However, Mr Key is adamant that even if the royals did turn up in New Zealand close to an election, he doesn't expect it to affect the voting system.
He explained: 'I think it's a wonderful thing that they come and I'm a massive supporter of the royal family but I don't think someone goes into a polling booth and says, 'I'm going to vote National because Prince William turned up in New Zealand'.'
In 2011, the government was put under pressure to turn the royal family away from the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand as it fell close to election day, but in the end they didn't turn up.

Robert Pattinson ‘still in love’ with Kristen Stewart

Robert Pattinson can't get over Kristen Stewart.
The A-list couple are said to have been secretly meeting up at their mutual friend Shannon Woodward's flat, despite calling time on their relationship earlier this year. 
A source told Yahoo omg!: 'Rob is still in love with Kristen and can't keep away from her. They've been meeting secretly at production studios and at Shannon's flat. The three of them have been close friends for years and all look out for each other.'
Robert, 27, is reportedly finding it impossible to cut ties with Kristen - who was caught cheating on him with 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders last summer - and doesn't want to move on from their four-year romance.
The insider added: 'He's tried flirting with other girls, partying and putting distance between them but there's no other woman for him.
'His sister Lizzie has told him to follow his deepest feelings and to not by swayed by pressure from Hollywood, because his management and publicists want him to move on and leave his 'troubled' relationship with Kristen behind.'
This comes after the 'Twilight' stars were spotted checking into the plush Viceroy hotel in Palm Springs, California, with their pooches Bear and Bernie last month.
Since ending things with Kristen, 23, Robert has been linked to Sean Penn's daughter Dylan Penn, and enjoyed a brief romance with Elvis' granddaughter Riley Keough earlier this year.

Brooke Mueller’s restraining order bid rejected

Brooke Mueller’s restraining order bid rejected

Brooke Mueller's attempt to get a restraining order against Charlie Sheen has failed.
The socialite's emergency bid to prevent her ex-husband - with whom she has four-year-old twins Bob and Max - from going anywhere near her was allegedly refused today (04.11.13), with a Los Angeles Superior Court setting a hearing for next month instead.
Brooke and the 'Anger Management' star have been locked in a bitter custody battle since her release from rehab this autumn, with Charlie branding the 36-year-old blonde an 'evil and pathetic uber loser' over Twitter.
According to RadarOnline.com, Brooke's legal petition read: 'I have reached out repeatedly to Charlie Sheen seeking that we find peace for the sake of our children over the past seven month only to be told, 'lose my number d****e bag.' Petitioner is seriously upset that I am in recovery and have successfully maintained my sobriety. 
'I am doing so for our children and myself. I love our children more than anyone can imagine. I am fighting for them every day. I do not want them to have two severely drug addicted parents.
'Charlie Sheen is furious that I am doing so well, he had hoped I would relapse in order to continue his long sought quest to have all his children under one roof with his former wife.'
The warring stars' issues came to a head on Friday (01.11.13) when Charlie blasted Brooke's parenting skills online and ranted about the 'inept' Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), promising that a 'reckoning' was coming.
Subsequently, actress Denise Richards - who has temporary custody of the twins - was reportedly informed by the DCFS that she wasn't allowed to take the boys over to Charlie's house for a visit.

Selena Gomez enjoying single life

Selena Gomez enjoying single life

Selena Gomez loves being single.
The 'Come Get It' hitmaker, who split from Justin Bieber at the beginning of this year after two turbulent years together, likes being more independent while on her 'Stars Dance' tour, and having more free time to spend with her family and friends.
The 21-year-old star told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show on Tuesday (05.11.13): 'It's been good for me to actually do it all on my own this time. It's been great for me to just go without my parents and being single and being me, it's been great. I'm really enjoying.'
The brunette beauty also confessed she is old-fashioned when it comes to dating.
The 'Spring Breakers' actress said: 'I think it works different for female artists or at least it does for me because I actually don't do any of that... Don't get me wrong, if a guy has the courage to ask me out, maybe I would. But I'm old fashioned. I like when the guy comes to me.'
Selena previously revealed her very public split from Justin left her feeling very 'stressed out,' and she even considered isolating herself to get away from the worldwide interest in the break-up.
The singer - who also previously dated singer Nick Jonas - also claimed she struggled to keep her high profile relationships private because of her young age and naivety.
She said: 'I had my first 'boyfriend' [Nick], which wasn't really a boyfriend, at 14, 15. You're young and you don't know how to be. You don't think, 'Now I have a boyfriend - let's keep it super-private and low key', because that's not what you're thinking about. You're thinking about, 'Oh my God, we're holding hands!' You're just thinking about stuff like that.'

Princess Diana’s ancestral home to be rented out

Princess Diana’s ancestral home to be rented out

Britain's Princess Diana's ancestral home is being rented out.
The late royal's brother Earl Spencer is reportedly planning to charge £25,000 a night for visitors in groups of up to 50 to stay at his Althorp estate, which is where Diana is buried, in Northampton.
A five-course meal is on offer for an extra £300-per head and groups can have the dinner served in the ornate grand picture gallery if they pay a further £10,000. 
Breakfast is not included in the price, unless the guests pay out £500 each on top, which would bring the total price for a party of 50 to £75,000 per night. 
The house is set in 550 acres of parkland and the Princess' grave and memorial are on a tiny island in the Oval Lake, which is where some wedding groups pose for photographs. 
Diana's friend Simone Simmons is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: 'The Earl closed Althorp to the public because he didn't want to exploit his sister's ­memory but he's doing much the same by renting out rooms. By staying there, people are simply helping him make money.'

Katy Perry crowned most popular Twitter user

Katy Perry is the most popular person on Twitter.
The 'Roar' hitmaker became the undisputed queen of the social network over the weekend, knocking teen idol Justin Bieber off the top spot when her followers crept up to 46.54 million, compared to Justin's 46.51 million.
Katy also has the edge over the 19-year-old 'Baby' singer on Facebook, boasting 59.26 million friends to Bieber's 57.28 million.
Justin originally took the crown from Katy's chart rival Lady Gaga in January. The 'Applause' singer, whose current Twitter tally stands at 40.40 million, had previously held top position for two years. 
According to website twittercounter.com, US President Barack Obama and country singer Taylor Swift round out the top five of the most followed people on the social media site.
Katy credits her popularity online with staying positive and ignoring her haters.
She previously said: 'I don't know they exist because I don't give them attention. If you tried to please everyone, you'd have no sense of self. You'd lose yourself in the process of being a people-pleaser and there'd be nothing unique left.'
The 28-year-old pop star also revealed her biggest tip is to never drink and tweet.
She joked: 'When you decide to have a glass of wine, put the phone down. Don't drink and tweet.'

Khloe Kardashian: Lamar Odom has ‘emotional issues

Khloe Kardashian: Lamar Odom has ‘emotional issues’

Khloe Kardashian admits Lamar Odom has 'emotional issues'.
The brunette beauty opened up about her marital struggles on Sunday's episode (03.11.13) of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians', saying she feels solely responsible for helping her partner of four years, who is reportedly battling a cocaine addiction.
Speaking during a family camping trip, Khloe confessed: 'Lamar has been having a really tough time lately and it's not just black and white. There's a lot of emotional issues and as much as I'm trying to enjoy going camping with my family I also have to cater to Lamar's needs. 
'It's really scary when nothing's really working and you know if you give up no one in his life would be able to help.'
Khloe's brother Rob also revealed that NBA player Lamar sometimes calls him up to seven times a day, saying, 'There's so much going on in the Odom household that no one could understand and nor should they. All I can do is support my sister.'
During the camping trip, Khloe was informed that her husband - who is alleged to have cheated on her - had gone missing.
The 29-year-old star candidly lamented: 'If someone wants to leave they want to leave. You're not my child, I can't lock you in a room. So now he's M.I.A? He cannot cut off ties with me like that.
'I've been down this road way more times than I'd like to admit.'
Khloe has since given Lamar, 33, a second chance and the pair were spotted in public together for the first time in weeks as they attended Kanye West's concert in Los Angeles last week (28.10.13).
Meanwhile, the basketball star insisted their marriage was 'unbreakable' and said he would never take off his wedding ring.
