Kourtney Kardashian shuts down pregnancy rumours
Reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian says that she is not pregnant after a photograph emerged of her posing with hand on belly. The reality star, 39, spent Thanksgiving with her family and could be seen in a video shared by sister Kendall Jenner striking a pose that had fans questioning whether she had a fourth child on the way.
Dressed in a long-sleeved burgundy-coloured dress that hit mid-thigh, Kourtney placed a hand on her belly as she and ex Scott Disick stood with their two older children - Penelope Scotland, six, and Mason Reign, nine next month - and Kourtney's grandmother Mary Jo "M.J." Houghton.
"Is Kourtney pregnant?" a fan asked in the comments section, to which the non-expectant star replied jokingly, "No, but how good does my arm look in that last photo?" in reference to the final image in Jenner's post that showed Kourtney loading up her plate, reports of leading publication.
In a photo Kourtney posted to Instagram Thursday, she and Disick, 35, starred alongside Penelope, Mason and their youngest child - son Reign Aston, 4 next month - where she expressed her gratitude to be able to share the holiday with all (well, most) of those she holds most dear.
Disick and Kourtney ended their nine-year relationship in July 2015, just seven months after welcoming son Reign.
I won't see 'Harry Potter And The Cursed Child' in a theatre: Daniel
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe says he will never watch J.K. Rowling's sequel play Harry Potter And The Cursed Child in a theatre.
On the Late Night With Seth Meyers show, Daniel, who featured in the play, admitted that he is not comfortable watching his movies and plays in theatres because he would be too concerned that he was being watched, reports of media.
He said, "I'm probably not going to, I don't have plans to, I think it would throw me into some sort of existential crisis. It would not be a relaxing evening at the theatre. I would feel like I was being watched for my reaction.
"And maybe that is completely conceited and egotistical and people wouldn't care, but I do feel if I was just surrounded by Harry Potter fans, it would be a little odd."
Daniel took on the role of Potter when he was just eleven years old and played the titular character for ten years.
Penned by J.K. Rowling, the play runs over two parts, with each spanning a massive 2 hours and 50 minutes across separate performances.
Julie Andrews to voice Key Role in 'Aquaman'
Veteran actress Julie Andrews will voice a key role in Aquaman.
The movie, led by Jason Momoa, is from the house of DC Films and Warner Bros.
Andrews will voice Karathen, a mythical sea creature that helps Momoa's waterbound hero broker peace between Atlantis and the dry land, reported by leading publication.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Peter Safran, a producer on Aquaman, said, "We wanted the Karathen to have the voice of a classic British actress, albeit somewhat digitally altered.
"And when we found out Julie was interested and available and excited to do it, casting her was a no-brainer."
The film will hit the screens in India on 14 December, a week ahead of its release in the US.
In the US, it opens two days before the release of Mary Poppins Returns when Emily Blunt will take on a role originated by Andrews in the 1964 Disney classic Mary Poppins.
Andrews won the Best Actress Oscar for the role.
Claire Foy 'felt judged' in 'The Girl...'
Actress Claire Foy felt "an amount of judgment" playing the role of hacker Lisbeth Salander in movie The Girl In The Spider's Web, after becoming the third actress to take on the famous literary role.
The 34-year-old actress told the i newspaper that there was a pressure on her to wow with her performance as Lisbeth. And so she chose to bulk up with a muscular physique as she thought such a character would "project that image", reports of media.
"At a certain point... I had to realise I'm taking this job on. I'm taking this on; this amount of expectation, this amount of judgment, this amount of criticism.
"I either surrender to it or I try to change it. And I can't change it so I might as well go, 'Ah well!' You have to be sanguine about it. What am I going to do?," she said.
Foy said she wanted to spread a positive body message to her fans through her role.
"It was very physical. I had to get muscles that I never had before in order to look right. I don't want to project that image - I don't think she has to be emaciated. I don't know why she would have to be."
The Girl In The Spider's Web is the second American film adaptation of the Millennium Series saga, which is based on the characters created by the late Swedish writer Stieg Larsson and this edition is the fourth instalment written by David Lagercrantz after Larsson's death, just like those Jason Bourne books that weren't written by Robert Ludlum.
Kanye gets upset with Kim's sexy Instagram photos
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian West says her husband Kanye West gets upset when she posts sexy Instagram photos.
During an appearance to The Ellen DeGeneres Show set to air on Wednesday, Kim and Ellen DeGeneres got talking about an August Instagram post that the reality star shared, featuring her baking in the kitchen wearing only a bra and underpants, reports of leading publication.
Although Kim, 38, admitted that the photo was solely taken "for the ‘gram" and she was not wearing that to bake, she also revealed that her husband of four years was not thrilled with the shot.
"You can get in trouble with your husband sometimes over too many photos like that," Kim said in the clip.
When DeGeneres asked if her steady stream of sensual photos typically bother Kanye, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star explained that his reaction to them is unpredictable.
"Yeah it does, it's like half and half. He always wants me to be me and feel confident and we're having fun, but it also bothers him," she said.
Kim recently opened up about how she thought of herself as a more independent woman before marrying Kanye.
Florian Munteanu is unique: Sylvester Stallone
Florian Munteanu is unique, says actor-producer Sylvester Stallone, who cast the German-Romanian boxer in Creed II.
"I had a feeling about Florian. It's very hard to get the whole package when you're casting a role like this. We could find big guys who could fight but couldn't act. Or guys who looked great but couldn't fight. Florian is unique, said Stallone in a statement to media.
Florian was interviewed by Stallone on a Skype video. Recalling his interview moment, the 27-year-old boxer said he was "spellbound" to seeing Stallone.
"It was absolutely surreal, doing a Skype audition with Stallone, who was a childhood hero of mine. Especially as a boxer, growing up with all the Rocky movies that I watched over and over again. I couldn't really describe the feeling I had when that computer screen opened, and I saw Stallone in front of me and realized it was actually happening."
Florian plays Ivan Drago's son Viktor in the movie. The film, being brought to India by Warner Bros Pictures, follows Adonis Creed training in order to defeat Viktor, the powerful athlete who killed his father in the ring more than 30 years prior.
Creed II is a sequel to Creed and the eighth instalment in the Rocky film series. It also stars Stallone, Tessa Thompson, Dolph Lundgren, Phylicia Rashad, Andre Ward, Wood Harris, Brigitte Nielsen and Milo Ventimiglia.
The sports drama film, which was earlier scheduled to release in India on 30 November, will now release a day earlier.
Justin Timberlake secretly signs copies of his autobiography
Singer Justin Timberlake has been sneaking into book stores and secretly signing copies of his autobiography.
He took to Instagram and posted a third video of him sneaking into a store, this time here and signed a number of books, reports of leading publication.
He captioned the video, "Strikes again. Come and get them, part III..."
The video followed previous similar posts shared by the Filthy singer, having visited a different branch of store Barnes & Noble two days after the book was released.
Among the revelations the 37-year-old singer made in his book was the fact he "almost got expelled" from school for smoking when he returned to Tennessee in 1994 after The All-New Mickey Mouse Club was cancelled.
He recalled, "I came home a lot more sophisticated and aware than I had been before the show, but I tried to downplay it because I just wanted to seem like everyone else.
"I became the class clown, disrupting class with my bits, not caring if the teachers were mad, only wanting to be accepted by the other kids. I started getting in trouble. I smoked pot for the first time. I got myself a can of tobacco and almost got expelled for that."
