Miley Cyrus and Joe JonasMiley Cyrus insists she didn't pressure Joe Jonas into smoking marijuana.

The former Jonas Brothers star recently revealed the "Wrecking Ball" hitmaker and his former girlfriend Demi Lovato introduced him to the drug while they were all young stars working for the Disney Channel, but Miley says she didn't make Joe do anything he didn't want to.

"If you want to smoke weed, you're going to smoke weed. There's nothing that two little girls are going to get you to do that you don't want to do. I thought maybe he was saying that like it was going to make him look badass," she said.

Lady GagaLady Gaga has urged women to stop worrying about their weight because people who achieve great things do not have to look like "supermodels."

The 27-year-old pop superstar has suffered with fluctuating weight throughout her career and has been criticized for being both too thin and overweight. But Gaga has dismissed society's obsession with women's figures and insists it's time people concentrated on what they're going to do with their lives rather than what they look like.

"I want to remind everyone that people who win Nobel Peace Prizes and cure diseases are not supermodels. Your legacy does not need to be a perception of beauty that's not realistic," she said in February's Fashion Magazine.

Although Gaga is now one of the world's biggest singers she insists she would still be wearing eccentric outfits and pushing the boundaries of pop if she was an unsigned artist playing in bars and small venues in her native New York City because music is her life. "There's this implication that if I wasn't so successful I would have to stop. But I never would have stopped. I would be in some bar; being Lady Gaga," she explained.


Selena GomezFollowing Selena Gomez's announcement last week in which she told her fans that she would be canceling her Australian Stars Dance tour, fans were quick to speculate that it was due to exhaustion from her demanding career. Sources, however, have revealed that the former Disney star might actually be suffering from the autoimmune disease Lupus.

The insiders claim that the 21-year-old actress-singer was diagnosed with the illness a couple years ago and has managed to live with it since, but the disease's symptoms have taken their toll on Gomez recently.

"Selena has been going full throttle the past few years and her Lupus is really catching up with her right now. She knows that she needs to take some time to address the disease and look after herself better if she wants to live a full and healthy life," a source close to Gomez said.

Gomez's reps have yet to comment on the news, but from the looks of her latest Instagram photos - which see her among various family members for the holidays - she looks like she's doing well!

Helena Bonham Carter and her family in LondonHelena Bonham Carter's favourite thing about Christmas is that it makes Londoners friendly.

The 47-year-old actress - who lives in Belsize Park in north London with her director husband Tim Burton and their two children - thinks the best thing about the festive period is that it brings festive cheer to her neighborhood.

When asked to share her favourite Christmas tradition, Helena said, "Going for a walk in the morning and seeing strangers in London break their year-long habit of unfriendliness and actually smile and say hello to one another."

The BAFTA Award winning actress - who stars in this year's highly anticipated Marks and Spencer's Christmas advert alongside supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and David Gandy - also described the signature scents of Christmas as one of her favorite things about the holidays: "All the smells - cinnamon, orange and spice."

The "Bound 2" rapper is no stranger to controversy, most recently slamming the Grammy Awards for not adequately recognizing his latest record Yeezus, but he has now promised to curb his infamous diatribes in the New Year and focus on being positive.

Kanye opened up while on stage for his Yeezus tour in Toronto, Canada, earlier this week, saying, "Everything I'm saying that's not allowed, soak it in right now ... this might be the last time y'all hear me talk s**t for a long time. Might be another like six months. At least. You're just gonna have to run back [my past] interviews and s**t if you wanna hear some realness!"

The 36-year-old rapper - who has a six-month-old daughter, North, with fiancee Kim Kardashian - alluded to his recent controversies, such as slamming sports brand Nike, who replaced him as a spokesperson, and his choice words for the Grammy Awards voting committee:

Miley Cyrus

"I went from people just thinking I was, like, a baby to people thinking I'm this, like, sex freak that really just pops molly and does lines all day. It's like, 'Has anyone ever heard of rock 'n' roll?' There's a sex scene in pretty much every single movie, and they go, 'Well, that's a character.' Well, that's a character. I don't really dress as a teddy bear and, like, twerk on Robin Thicke, you know?"

- Controversial 21-year-old former Disney star Miley Cyrus reflects on the public's reaction to her new image.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila KunisNow that Ashton Kutcher's divorce from Demi Moore has been finalized, insiders are claiming that the Two and a Half Men star will soon be putting a ring on girlfriend Mila Kunis' finger this holiday season.

"They talk about getting married and having kids... An engagement is imminent," a friend close to the former That 70's Show co-stars said.

The pair - who were recently seen together in Kutcher's home state of Iowa - have been dating for two years, and friends call them "inseparable." A source on the set of Kutcher's sitcom points out that "they hang in his trailer."

In leaving Moore behind, pals of Kutcher say that he's also turned his back on the party life, opting for quiet nights with Kunis in their Hollywood Hills home: "Ashton and Mila cook together. He knows he ended up with the right girl."
