Britney Spears met few members of the ‘Glee’ cast when she appeared on the show

The pop superstar made a cameo appearance as herself on the musical drama series last year, but actor Matthew Morrison – who plays teacher Will Schuester – says it was difficult for the regular cast members to get on set the day she arrived for filming.

He said: “What was Britney like? I don’t know – I didn’t get to meet her. Not many people did.

“She had pretty big security around her. We actually had security bands to get onto our set that day.”

While Matthew appears unimpressed with Britney, he loves Gwyneth Paltrow’s guest stints on the show and thinks she has been able to reinvent herself.

He said: “Gwyneth Paltrow has definitely been my favourite guest. ‘Glee’ gives people a chance to reinvent themselves. I think Gwyneth does a lot of serious shows, but she really made fun of herself on ‘Glee’ and proved to be a goof.”

The 32-year-old singer-and-actor also revealed he would love to see Adele make an appearance on the programme.

He told Now magazine: “I’d love to have Adele on. She’s someone who has a good sense of who she is. She’d be incredible.”

Johnny Depp has an oil painting of Keith Richards surrounded by cigarette papers

The 48-year-old actor has amassed a huge collection of artwork and a collection of rare manuscripts in his mansion in Hertfordshire, East England – including three paintings of the Rolling Stone legend he created himself, one of which is surrounded by Rizla rolling papers – and even gave one book to Bruce Robinson, the director of his new film ‘The Rum Diary’.

He revealed to The Sun newspaper: “I don’t know how Johnny gets everything done. With the books, it isn’t just a first edition of T. S. Eliot, it’s the manuscript. He showed me the first edition of ‘Les Fleurs Du Mal’ inscribed by Baudelaire. I couldn’t believe it. Then when I got home, I found Johnny had slipped it in my suitcase.”

Johnny has long had a close relationship with the 67-year-old rocker – who plays his father in two ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ films – and has previously revealed he loves getting drunk with him.

He said: “He’s a fascinating man, you know. I’ve known him for a long time. To get periods on set where it’s just him and me hanging out, sitting around and yakking about music, movies whatever, was a real pleasure.

“I’m a wine man and I do like a good glass of red. So I would have my glass of wine and Keith would have his usual.

“I’ve no idea what it is, because it looks like nuclear waste and it’s a combination only he would know.”

Lady Gaga plans to meet with President Barack Obama in a bid to stop bullying

The ‘Born This Way’ singer has been left distraught by the death of 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer from Buffalo, New York, who committed suicide last Sunday (18.09.11) after enduring years of ridicule about his sexuality.

Gaga – who is a prominent supporter of gay rights – wants to petition the US leader to create legislation which makes bullying at any age a crime.

In a series of tweets, she wrote: “The past days I’ve spent reflecting, crying, and yelling. I have so much anger. It is hard to feel love when cruelty takes someones life.

“Jamey Rodemeyer, 14 yrs old, took his life because of bullying. Bullying must become be illegal. It is a hate crime.

“I am meeting with our President. I will not stop fighting. This must end. Our generation has the power to end it. Trend it #MakeALawForJamey (sic)”

Jamey had regularly blogged about the bullying he was suffering at school but his tormentors also followed him into cyberspace and several messages were left on his account on social media site Formspring calling him “gay and ugly” and encouraging him to kill himself.

On Saturday night (17.09.11) he posted the prophetic line “don’t forget me when I come crying to heaven’s door” from Gaga’s song ‘The Queen’ on his Facebook page followed by a tribute to the pop superstar and a message saying he was looking forward to seeing his late great-grandmother. Hours later he was tragically found dead.

The superstar couple raise six children together – Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – and the ‘Moneyball’ actor admits the chaos of their household can sometimes be too much.

Referring to the 1975 movie set in a mental institution, he told TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: “Did you ever see the movie ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’? That’s morning time in our house.

“We find our time. We carve out Mommy, Daddy time… It’s called a hotel. You got to get out of this house. You got to leave.”

Angelina recently revealed she can never have a bath in peace because the kids are always bothering her but insists she copes well with having such limited time alone.

She said: “You try to take a bath alone and everybody comes in.

“You just give it up. I’ve shocked myself because I’m somebody that likes to be on my own. But I’m surprised how much I’m very happy to be surrounded by everybody in my family.

“It’s alright. I feel that comfort.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have hired former SAS guards to protect their home in the South of France

The couple – who raise six kids, Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne together – have enlisted the services of the ex-members of Special Air Service unit and have also installed a £150 million state-of-the-art security system after learning organised crime gangs from Russia and Italy are targeting rich foreigners in the area.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: “Brad has hired a crack team of ex-SAS guys to protect them and they watch over the property like hawks around the clock.

“They can see what is happening as all the cameras hooked up to the TV screens have movement sensors. They work via wi-fi so can’t be disarmed.”

The property – which boasts his-and-hers gyms, a Jacuzzi, sauna, billiards room and a huge banqueting suite – now is said to look like “something out of a James Bond movie” after being kitted out with fingerprint recognition gadgets.

The source added to The Sun newspaper: “There’s even fingerprint recognition to go from certain parts of the house to the next. Every inch is covered. It’s like something out of a James Bond movie.”

Eminem is an “inspiring and intimidating” collaborator

Skylar Grey – who penned the rapper’s duet with Rihanna, ‘Love the Way You Lie’, as well as ‘I Need A Doctor’ for Dr. Dre – enjoys working with the ‘Real Slim Shady’ hitmaker because of his “rare” talent.

She said: “Eminem makes fun of me. But he’s a rare breed of an artist that doesn’t come along every day, so being able to be in a room with him and see his creativity at work was both inspiring and intimidating.”

Skylar also revealed that ‘Love the Way You Lie’ was inspired by the vicious cycle” of her relationships with “assholes”.

She explained to NME magazine: “It wasn’t necessarily about literal violence in a relationship, but that vicious cycle of somebody who keeps you on your toes because they’re kind of an asshole. I do tend to fall for assholes because they keep me on my toes and I don’t get bored. That’s what I wrote it about.”

Beyonce Knowles is taking pregnancy advice from Gwyneth Paltrow

The 30-year-old singer is expecting her first baby with husband Jay-Z and Gwyneth – who has children Apple, seven, and five-year-old Moses with husband Chris Martin – has been giving her suggestions on the right food supplements to take and products to use to ensure a healthy pregnancy.

A source told Closer magazine: “Gwyneth has known about this pregnancy for over a month and has been telling Beyonce to drink a shot of wheatgrass each morning and to rub her belly with coconut oil to prevent stretch marks.

“She’s also advised her to meditate for an hour every day and soak her feet in ice water to prevent swelling.”

However, while Beyonce was thrilled with the parcel of energy crystals Gwyneth sent her to promote peace, love, and good health, she is said to not be impressed by some of the other tips she has received from the actress.

The insider added: “Beyonce knows Gwyneth is just trying to show how much she cares, but her advice can be a little overwhelming.

“She’s sending packages of herbs and vitamins – but Beyonce wants to do things her own way, what suits her best and not be told what to eat.”

Cheryl Cole has ruled out a reunion with her ex husband Ashley Cole

The Girls Aloud singer -who was devastated by revelations the soccer star bedded a string of women days before they were thought to have reconciled in July – has finally decided to “cleanse” herself of her former spouse and is now ready to move on and find love again.

According to Britain’s Sunday Mirror, Cheryl told pals: “I’ll never go back. I don’t need him anymore.

“It took me this time to come to this conclusion and move on.”

A friend added: “Cheryl finally made the decision that it’s all over. She felt mentally drained from everything he put her through and she partly blames herself for letting him back into her life.

“She’s completely cut herself off from him to cleanse herself of him, including deleting his number from her phone.”

The news will come as huge relief to friends and fans of the ‘Parachute’ hitmaker after she was spotted in a clinch with the soccer star at her birthday party in July.

The friend added: “What happened on the night of her party was a blip. Since then she’s taken time out again from him and now believes she was wrong. She can’t go back and try and right the wrongs of their marriage.

“What’s done is done and she’s got her head straight and believes it’s time for a new Cheryl.”

Cheryl has reportedly even agreed to go on a date with a self-made millionaire who has been desperate to meet her.

The pal said: “One of the producers she’s been working with has a pal who’s desperate to meet her. He’s not in the public eye and is a self-made millionaire who is a very desirable bachelor. After splitting with Ashley she agreed to go on a date with him when she returns to Los Angeles.”

Brad Pitt has hired a helicopter from a budget UK store

The Hollywood actor chartered the mode of transport belonging to supermarket chain Iceland – who use it to fly food around – because he was “sick” of the London rush hour traffic while travelling to various parts of the UK to shoot his latest movie ‘World War Z’.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Brad was sick of wasting time in the London rush hour traffic, so he chartered a helicopter to take him to Billericay for filming. It just so happens the one he’s using belongs to Iceland.

“It’s caused a lot of laughter on set – everyone assumed he’d fly in on Richard Branson’s.”

Brad and partner Angelina recently chartered one of the entrepreneur’s Virgin trains to take them and their children – Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox – from London to Scottish city Glasgow, which is being transformed into a makeshift Philadelphia for the zombie apocalypse movie.

The couple are currently based in Richmond, south west London, where they took their children to see ‘The Smurfs 3D’ movie in the town’s Odeon cinema earlier this month, following on from recent trips to the venue to see ‘Mr. Popper’s Penguins’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2′.

Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins’ relationship has been confirmed

The ‘Abduction’ co-stars – who have been romantically linked since they began filming the movie earlier this year – are the epitome of “teenage love” and according to their fellow cast member Denzel Whitaker, their natural chemistry will come across on-screen.

Denzel told E! News: “It’s kind of like that teenage love in high school. It was kind of like, ‘Let’s go on a date’.

“They were willing to go bowling. It wasn’t all about the relationship, it was more about having fun with each other and I think any time that’s the premise of your couple, it’s going to go great.

“I think the chemistry is naturally going to show in the movie. It was off set so it definitely came on set.”

Taylor – who has previously dated Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez – recently admitted he loved how “funny and goofy” Lily, the daughter of singer Phil Collins, was on set.

He said: “The amazing thing about Lily is that she was super-open and funny and goofy to begin with. And she definitely did not change at all from the first time I met her. That’s probably the most impressive thing about her – that she’s not afraid to be herself.”

The 25-year-old heartthrob – who is dating his ‘Twilight’ co-star, who plays Bella Swan in the vampire franchise – admitted in scenes from ‘Breaking Dawn’, in which Kristen’s alter-ego’s baby eats her from inside, he was shocked by how “thin and ghastly” she looks.

He told Premiere magazine: “There are scenes were Bella looks like an alien. When the baby eats her from inside, she looks so thin and ghastly.

“Kristen had to wear this horrible makeup and when I’d see her come on set, I’d ask the crew, ‘Are you sure we’re filming ‘Twilight’? Isn’t it supposed to be harmless and PG-13?’”

Despite Robert’s concern over his girlfriend’s shocking look in the latest ‘Twilight’ movie, Kristen recently admitted she “loves” playing a vampire.

She said: “I f***ing love being a vampire. I was 17 when I read ‘Twilight,’ and at the time it was so perfect for me.

“The script was about young kids who think they can handle stuff that they just can’t. And they’re going to do it anyway. Because, why not? Just torture yourself. I relate to that. Vampires are a little dangerous – and we girls like to test ourselves.”

The 30-year-old socialite – who recently tied the knot with basketball ace Kris Humphries – hit out at her 24-year-old brother for not having a job, pointing out that even their younger sister Kendall, 15, earned more than him thanks to her career as a model.

Robert Pattinson bought a new guitar for a tramp

The ‘Twilight Saga’ hunk was putting money into a homeless busker’s tin in Los Angeles when he noticed how battered his instrument was and so headed into a nearby music shop to splash out on a gift for the man. He then emerged with an electric guitar for himself and a new red acoustic for the busker.

British builder Luke Jones witnessed the actor’s generosity, and told The Sun newspaper: “We were gobsmacked when he handed the acoustic guitar to the tramp.

“Robert quickly went back to his car and drove off.

“The busker was totally shell-shocked. He had no idea who Robert was – I think he thought the guitar was stolen.

“He was looking left and right, half expecting the police to arrest him. We asked him to play but he couldn’t get his thoughts together.”

A standard new acoustic guitar costs around £50.

Robert – who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the vampire series – is a keen musician himself and has recorded two tracks, ‘Never Think’ and ‘Let Me Sign’ for the soundtrack to the first ‘Twilight’ film.

Kirsten Dunst tries to balance “sexual chemistry” with friendship in a man

The ‘Melancholia’ actress is dating musician Jason Boesel, and admits as she’s grown up, she looks for more balance in a man’s personality.

Kirsten – who has previously had relationships with rocker Johnny Borrell and actor Jake Gyllenhaal – said: “Getting older, you try to pick a partner you are friends with. At least that’s my experience.

There obviously has to be some sort of attraction, but not the kind that will be destructive and make you crazy.

“I like someone who’s pretty chilled. I know my life gets hectic and it’s nice to have someone who grounds and centres me.”

The 29-year-old actress entered rehab to be treated for depression in 2008, and was even rumoured to be thinking of quitting acting, but said she has now “lightened up a lot,” partly because she has reduced her workload and moved from Los Angeles to New York.

She said: “Los Angles is just a vampire city! There’s a bubble there with only one type of industry going on and it just gets to me.

“I have to be open and sensitive as an actress and maybe there’s an aspect of me that takes on too much. Who knows?

“I’ve always been someone who is pretty hard on herself. But I’ve lightened up a lot.”
