Anne Hathaway gangsta raps

Actress Anne Hathaway has explained the reason behind her gangsta rap on late night U.S. TV earlier this week - she's taken to writing rhymes to exercise her anger at the paparazzi.

The Devil Wears Prada star stunned viewers of Conan O'Brien's talk show on Tuesday when she took aim at the snappers with a verse "in the style of Lil Wayne".

She rapped, "I'm a paparazzi/I don't play no Yahtzee/I go pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop/My camera's up your crotch..."

The clip has since gone viral and Hathaway reveals she is constantly channelling her fury at the photographers who follow her every move into similar rhymes.

In an interview on America's Today show on Thursday, she said, "I've now had to start to deal with the paparazzi presence a bit more in my life. It's not something I ever expected to encounter so I don't wanna be angry about it, I don't wanna have negative feelings about it, I just wanna get them out so I just started to write rap lyrics about it 'cause that's just the way it came out."

But Hathaway admits it was never meant to be performed in public - until the comedian's producers learned of her rapping skills and thought it would make for good TV.

She added, "I did it for my friends and they all laughed so when the producers at Conan asked me to do it - because I'd mentioned in an interview that I write songs to make me feel better sometimes - the producer said, 'Would you do it?' and I said, 'Yes'."

Kat Von D, James engaged again

Celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D is back with Sandra Bullock's ex-husband Jesse James.

Von D's LA Ink show was cancelled on Thursday after she reportedly told producers and network executives she no longer wanted to appear on the show.

Hours after the news broke, James told People.com he and his ex are engaged again after splitting last month.

He said, "Sometimes you are only given one chance in life... It was up to me to open my eyes and see it. That girl is my chance. I will never stop fighting and striving to hold on to her. Showing her how special she is, and how much I love her."

Von D stormed off the set of U.S. breakfast show Good Day LA and cancelled a series of promotional appearances after splitting from TV mechanic James.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Jolie sued arrested reporter

James Desborough, a News Corp reporter arrested in Britain Thursday in a spreading phone hacking scandal, was no stranger to controversy when he led News of the World’s Hollywood bureau.

British police said they had arrested a 38-year-old man on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications, and a source with knowledge of the situation identified the individual as Desborough.

It was the 13th arrest this year in an inquiry that has rocked News of the World’s parent company, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, and has had far-reaching implications for the British establishment.

U.S. agencies are investigating whether News of the World’s phone-hacking activities extended to the United States. So far, they have disclosed no evidence that they did.

Desborough could not be reached for comment Thursday.

Daisy Dunlop, a spokeswoman for News International, News Corp’s British newspaper arm, told Reuters the company was “cooperating fully with the police” and could not comment further due to the investigation.

A source familiar with the situation said Desborough was being questioned by British police about activities that occurred before he moved in 2009 to Los Angeles, where he was an editor.

His U.S. stories have aroused controversy, although there has been no allegation of illegal activity.

A Desborough story in the recently shuttered British tabloid said actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were about to split. The couple sued News Corp, won an apology and  settlement, and News of the World publicly acknowledged the story was wrong.

Shortly before Murdoch closed the tabloid last month, Desborough wrote a story about the alleged sexual activities of movie star and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. A Schwarzenegger spokesman called the story false.

According to the story, the information on Schwarzenegger came from a dossier compiled by disgraced Hollywood private eye Anthony Pellicano, who is now serving a prison sentence for illegal wiretapping.

APOLOGY TO BRAD AND ANGELINA

Desborough joined News of the World in 2005 as a show business and news reporter and was promoted to U.S. editor, based in Los Angeles, in 2009. He worked for News of the World until it closed.

The arrest occurred after he arrived at a south London police station Thursday morning by appointment.

Desborough won the British Press Awards showbiz reporter of the year award in 2009. After moving to Los Angeles, he wrote a story in January 2010 saying Pitt and Jolie agreed to divide their fortune equally and and share their children.

The story cited an unidentified source who described a legal document signed by the couple that would govern the breakup.

The couple said the claims were false and demanded a retraction of the story. News of the World settled for an undisclosed sum.

“We now accept that our story was wrong and apologise to Brad and Angelina,” the paper wrote in July 2010.

An attorney for the couple could not be reached for comment.

After news broke in May that Schwarzenegger fathered a child with his maid, Desborough wrote a story detailing Schwarzenegger’s alleged taste in women.

News of the World story attributed its reporting to a “bombshell dossier” put together by Pellicano.

“These are absurd tabloid reports that are totally false,” a spokesman for Schwarzenegger said of the News of the World story.

It is unclear how Desborough obtained the alleged documents. Pellicano was sentenced to 15 years in prison at the end of 2008, before Desborough took up his posting in Los Angeles.

The story also quoted an investigator who worked for Pellicano, but did not name that person.

In a jailhouse interview with Newsweek earlier this month, Pellicano said he had “personal stuff” on Schwarzenegger but did not say whether he knew about Schwarzenegger’s child with the maid.

'Theroux will never marry Aniston'

American actor Justin Theroux will never marry actress-girlfriend Jennifer Aniston, says his close friend Craig Warden.

Theroux began dating Aniston earlier this year and there have been reports that the couple are set to tie the knot very soon.

However, Warden insists that the actor, who was with girlfriend Heidi Bivens for 14 years before dating Aniston, is not the kind of person who will get married.

"Justin will never marry her. He's not the marrying type - as you can see from the 14-year relationship he was in that didn't end in marriage. He is not the kind of guy to be owned," contactmusic.com quoted Warden as saying.

"Jen is the complete opposite of Justin. She's all about Malibu and shopping and trying to stay young while Justin is about being an artist. The last place Jen would want to go in New York would be a dive bar," he added.

Genelia, Rana are "just good friends"

Southern hottie Rana Daggubati and Genelia D'Souza, who are shooting for their movie Naa Ishtam, seem to have developed a soft spot for each other.

There's buzz on the sets that the duo has grown quite close and can now officially use that oft-quoted line of  being "just good friends."

This is the second time that the Rana has been linked to a B-Town actress. Previously, Rana was reportedly close to Bipasha Basu while they were shooting for Dum Maro Dum in Goa. Genelia on the other hand has an immaculate image and has been with Riteish Deshmukh ever since their first film together, Tujhe Meri Kasam, in 2003.

"Even as Genelia's marriage plans with Riteish are being firmed up for next year, Southern industry insiders just can't stop talking about the growing 'friendship' between D'Souza and Daggubatti," says a tabloid.

With Genelia's image in perspective, this could very well be the tried and tested publicity stunt that film makers spin to promo their films. Yawn.. get original people!

Kim postpones honeymoon plans

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian, who will marry rocker Kris Humphries on August 20, won't be able to go for honeymoon any time soon because of her busy work schedule.

"With her work schedule it's the earliest she can get away. Kris is not over the moon," femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source is saying. 

The couple will tie the knot at a $20 million mansion in Santa Barbara, California, which is owned by former Google chief executive officer Eric Schmidt.

Kim Kardashian wedding details revealed!

Celebrity wedding watchers mark the date. Only two more days to go for Kim Kardashian-Kris Humphries wedding and the bride to-be looked anxious and preoccupied leaving Vera Wang's Boutique in Beverley Hills, ANI reported. Wearing a summery white blouse and khaki shorts, the bride-to-be failed to crack a smile as she rushed past the crowd into the boutique to meet the veteran designer.

Kardashian’s sister Khloe, who is acting as the co-maid of honour alongside Kourtney had also arrived at the boutique a short while before the socialite arrived to try the custom creation by the famous wedding gown designer for her D-day, costing over 30,000 pounds.

The upcoming issue of Life and Style magazine will spill all the details on the much-awaited celebrity wedding.

Tabloids claim that the Kim-Kris wedding could overtake the Kate-William royal wedding in terms of popularity.

Kim Kardashian is unlike other brides who worry about breakouts and cold feet on their wedding day. Kardashian, reportedly, has other more pressing worries.

"I was so nervous to walk down the aisle by myself," she said at a backstage interview at the VH1 Do Something Awards. "For some reason I wasn't thinking, like, 'Oh, Bruce [Jenner] will be there right with me,' so I was thinking, 'I'm gonna fall, I'm gonna faint, oh my God, my train!'"

Kardashian's biological father, Robert Kardashian, succumbed to cancer in 2003. Her mother, Kris Kardashian married Bruce Jenner in 1991.

All the hype about the wedding is bound to get Kim worried about her vows. There'll be expectations to live up to, when the world is watching.

"The one thing that was making her anxious was her vows. She wanted them to be just right and wrote them herself. Kim also had a hard time deciding what song to use for their first dance," mom Kris told Us' OK magazine, "The actual 'I dos' are the moment that all of our hard work and all of her love and everything culminates into - this one beautiful moment."

After fire department officials visited the venue of the wedding in Montecito, Kim had to cut her celeb guest list down by 50 guests.

“The fire marshal got involved," a source revealed, "Once the fire department learned about all the TV equipment that’s going to be inside the space — the lights, the cameras and the production crew — Kim was told she had to cut the guest list by 50 people!”

So Kim had to phone some friends and tell them that they're not invited anymore!

Last minute drama aside, Kim has set the colour theme for her wedding as black and white. Guests are expected to come dressed in monochromatic colours to fit in. 

"Kim knows better than anyone how to stay dramatic and there is no way she would let herself blend in with everyone else at her wedding by wearing a white dress," a source told HuffingtonPost.com, "If I know her, I bet she will wear red or some color so she pops against everyone else who will be in black or white."
