Katherine Heigl Adopts Second Daughter
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Celebrity Babies, Kind Acts,
Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley have adopted a second daughter. The couple - who already have three-year-old daughter Naleigh from South Korea - have welcomed another child, but a name is not yet known.
"Yes they have adopted a baby. No further details are available at this time," the couple's representative said.
In January, 33-year-old Katherine confirmed she was talking about taking on another child with her 32-year-old husband: "Josh and I started talking about it before we were even engaged. We have talked about having biological children as well but we decided to adopt first. I'd like to adopt again."
The Grey's Anatomy beauty previously claimed she felt like a "bad mother" when she first adopted Naleigh from South Korea in 2009 because she could not bond with her.
"I fought incredibly hard for my daughter to accept me as mother. Her rejection almost broke my heart. At first I blamed myself and thought I was a bad mother. It took a while before I could admit to myself that the lack of trust had nothing to do with me."

British writer-and-journalist Laurie Penny was enjoying an evening in Manhattan on Tuesday night when she started to walk into oncoming traffic forgetting that cars drive on the right side of the road in the US. But quick-thinking Gosling, 31, pulled her back before she was run over by a Yellow Cab.
Laurie - who writes for English newspapers The Independent and The Guardian among other publications - wrote on her Twitter account, "I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling. Literally. That actually just happened ... I was crossing 6th avenue in a new pink wig. Not looking the right way because I am from London. Ryan Gosling grabbed me away from a taxi. (sic)"
The Hollywood heartthrob's identity was confirmed by an onlooker. "Identity of no-idea-if-actually-a-manarchist-but-definitely-a-decent-sort Ryan Gosling confirmed by girl near me, who said 'you lucky bitch'. (sic)" she wrote on her Twitter.

Karl Lagerfeld’s Apology Gift to Adele
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Style, Kind Acts, Rumors,
Karl Lagerfeld has apologized for calling Adele fat by giving her a handbag.
The Chanel creative director has reportedly gifted the "Someone Like You" singer with a collection of the fashion house's bags to say sorry for branding her a "little too fat" in a French magazine earlier this year.
"He told his team to send Adele the best the fashion house have to offer after hearing she collected bags. He said he really wanted to make it up to her so they could maybe work together in the future. He could see her fronting a campaign for Chanel Mademoiselle bags when the contract with Blake Lively ends. He's annoyed with himself because he ended up insulting her when he meant to compliment her. He thinks she's beautiful and calls her divine," a source said.

Russell Brand has given $630 to a homeless man.
The 36-year-old Arthur star reportedly saw the man was down on his luck and decided to help him out.
"Russ decided to do something charitable. He met a homeless guy on Hollywood Boulevard, just around the corner from the home he shared with Katy Perry. Russ was with his new girlfriend and they struck up a conversation with the guy. After chatting for a few minutes he decided he wanted to get him a roof over his head for a few nights. So he went over the road and withdrew $630 for him. When Russell handed over the wad of cash, the fella had tears in his eyes. Russ told him to spend it wisely and to make sure he says 'Hello' if they ever cross paths again," a source told The Daily Star.
Meanwhile, the comedian has introduced mum Barbara to new girlfriend, model Nikolett Barabas. The trio were spotted helping Russell house hunt in Los Angeles over the weekend following his arrest for allegedly throwing a paparazzo's iPhone through a window last week.

George Clooney Compares Himself to Elizabeth Taylor

George Clooney has compared himself to Elizabeth Taylor.
The Ides of March actor was arrested for civil disobedience in Washington last week alongside his journalist father Nick and other protesters after a demonstration outside the Sudanese Embassy and George says he learned from an early age that celebrities are more newsworthy than humanitarian crises.
"I saw my father in the 1970s doing really good stories and then getting bumped because there was a Liz Taylor story that was going to be out. And the story that he did that had real some social value was going to get bumped. I said to my dad, 'Remember how you used to get all your stories bumped by Liz Taylor or something happened in Hollywood?' And he said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Well, let's go to Darfur. And you be the newsman and I'll be Liz Taylor and let's get it on the air.' And he said, 'OK,'" he told Fox News on Sunday.
George is trying to draw attention to the accusation that Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, is provoking a humanitarian crisis and blocking food and aid from entering the Nuba Mountains from South Sudan and admitted he had some close calls when he travelled to the country to film the atrocities.

Britain's Duchess Catherine's St. Patrick's Day presentation caused three soldiers to faint yesterday.
The royal attended her first solo military event since marrying Prince William in April last year - when she was known as Kate Middleton - to mark the iconic day, but it proved too much for three soldiers who were overwhelmed by the occasion. One young guardsman was out cold on the floor in his formal red uniform during the Irish Guards parade in Aldershot, Hampshire, and two others had to be taken out of the parade ground when they appeared to faint.
Catherine dressed in traditional Irish colors of green for the occasion, and she sported an Irish Guards brooch which belonged to the late Queen Mother. She put three-leaf clovers - which are thought to be lucky - on 40 of the soldiers as well as their Irish wolfhound dog.
"She couldn't have done anything better," Drill sergeant Glenn Stevenson told the Sun on Sunday.

Adele reportedly refused to sign a record deal because she was too busy planning her birthday party.
The "Someone Like You" singer wanted to celebrate her 18th birthday with a bash to remember and refused to let the offer of a contract get in the way, according to school friend Allan Rose.
"It was typical Adele. Her pals were more important," he said.
Allan met Adele at the BRIT school - which also counts Jessie J, Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis amongst its past pupils - where he says everyone knew she was destined for great things: "It was clear she was going to be a star. Some people were that step above everyone else, and Adele was one of them. She was just naturally musically gifted."

Channing Tatum once rescued a female driver who was stranded by the side of the road. The Dear John star was driving to an interview in Los Angeles, but stopped when he saw a woman trying to push her car down a dangerous exit ramp. He stopped, telling the woman, "The car's smoking. Maybe it's on fire."
Noticing that the lady had a child in the back of her car, who turned out to be her grandson, he got him out of the vehicle, before trying to find out what was wrong with the car and calling a tow truck company. The actor's chauffer was able to make some rudimentary repairs to the car, which would be enough for the driver to make it to the next service station, and Channing gave the lady $100 to help cover the cost of the repair.
"Get it fixed. Go fix it now. Don't get stuck out here again. Take it slow. Put on your flashers," he told the lady, according to his interview in next month's Details.

Charlie Sheen reportedly paid ex-wife Brooke Mueller's bail.
Reality TV star Brooke was arrested and charged with intent to distribute drugs and assault on Friday in Aspen, Colorado, and it was her former spouse who came to her rescue and posted her $11,000 bond. Brooke - who has two-year-old twins, Bob and Max, with the former Two and a Half Men actor - had originally called her parents to help her, but they refused.
"They actually wanted to leave her in jail. Brooke's family is done with her, she has to get straight or she is going to die," a source said.
Brooke - who has battled drink and drug addictions in the past and has received treatment in rehab - must return for a District Court hearing on December 19. She was arrested on a felony charge of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and a misdemeanour charge of assault. If she is found guilty in the drug charge, Brooke could face up to six years in prison.
