Russell Brand Buys Katy Perry Animatronics Zoo

katy-perry-russell-brand

Russell Brand has bought girlfriend Katy Perry an animatronics zoo for her birthday.

The British comic star splashed out $32,800 on the robotic menagerie after seeing how much Katy, who turns 25 on October 25, enjoyed looking around a similar attraction at The Grove entertainment complex in Hollywood.

A source said, “Russell took Katy to see ‘Where The Wild Things Are’ at the Grove’s cinema.

“She was really taken with the petting zoo temporarily set up next to the Farmer’s Market. There are real animals in one section and then this amazing fake zoo for kids.

“You can milk the cow and ride on the pony. It’s very fun.”

Katy was keen to get close to the animals, which are models brought to life using robotics, but was worried paparazzi might take pictures of her.

Russell immediately decided to treat her to her own version for her birthday to ensure her big day is extra special.

The source added to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, “While she was looking at a goat being unloaded Russell got the contact details of the event organizers.

“He has arranged for the zoo to arrive at Katy’s Los Angeles home for her birthday.”

Russell is currently visiting Katy in America, with the pair enjoying several nights out with friends over the weekend.

They visited Los Angeles’ trendy H.Wood nightspot, where Katy entertained her 34-year-old boyfriend by performing a raunchy routine to her hit ‘I Kissed A Girl’.

A source said, “The tune came on and Russell was beaming with pride. Katy took advantage of the attention and she and a female friend started giving Russell a lap dance.

“Towards the end of the song the girls pulled each other close for a kiss. Russell’s eyes lit up. But at the last second they pulled away and started laughing.”

Katy and Russell were first romantically linked after the MTV Video Music Awards last month when they were seen kissing at Lady Gaga’s after-party at New York nightspot Avenue.

Beyonce Knowles Postpones ‘Immoral’ Malaysia Concert

beyonce-knowles Beyonce Knowles has postponed a concert in Malaysia after the country’s Muslim population complained her show is “immoral”. The ‘Sweet Dreams’ singer reportedly decided to delay taking her ‘I Am… Sasha Fierce’ tour – originally due to arrive in capital Kuala Lumpur on October 25 – to the conservative country after the Malaysian Islamic Party lodged a complaint about her “Western sexy performance”. Show organizer Marctensia confirmed the concert had been postponed indefinitely, but denied Beyonce had given in to religious pressures. A statement read, “The postponement was solely the decision of the artist and has nothing to do with other external reasons.” Malaysian law requires female artists to cover up from shoulder to knee, with no cleavage on display. It’s not the first time Beyonce, who is famous for her sexy stage outfits and raunchy dance moves, has been targeted by clerics in the Asian country. She canceled a Malaysian concert in 2007 after the same political party threatened to protest outside the show venue.

Sherlock Holmes as an action star?

sherlock-holmes-newtvtrailer-img

I grew up reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and still have fond memories of seeing t he sun come up as I turned the last few pages of many of the classic tales. There has been many a movie and television rendition of Sherlock Holmes through the years but none of them – that I remember – ever depicted my childhood hero as an action star.

That could very well change with the upcoming release of of Guy Ritchie’s re-imaging of the character. While we won’t be seeing the movie until Christmas Day FirstShowing.net has the freshly minted two minute long television trailer up. Thanks to the wonders of embedding and their kindness in sharing here is your first good look at what might be in store for us and I gotta tell you I am now really looking forward to this movie.

Amanda Seyfried Ashamed of Megan Fox Kiss

megan-fox_amanda
Amanda Seyfried didn’t want her mother to see her kiss Megan Fox.

The blonde star was mortified when her parents insisted on watching ‘Jennifer’s Body’, in which Amanda and Megan share a steamy encounter.

She said, “My mom and dad have just seen a film of mine with nudity. My mom saw me have sex with two different types of people on screen. She knows it’s acting but it’s not necessarily OK with me.

“It was difficult when my mom sat down with me to watch ‘Jennifer’s Body’.”

Amanda previously revealed she found locking lips with 23-year-old Megan for the high school horror movie “uncomfortable”.

She said, “It was my first time doing a real kissing scene with a woman. It is just weird. It is a woman. With a woman’s smell – soft and floraly – and maybe the pheromones are different. Something about it felt uncomfortable for me.”

Amanda, who is dating her ‘Mamma Mia!’ co-star Dominic Cooper, also had to canoodle with an older Hollywood actress in forthcoming film ‘Chloe’.

The 23-year-old star has admitted the same-sex scenes were a challenge.

She explained, “I have a love scene with Julianne Moore in ‘Chloe’. When you are done with the scene, you just think, ‘Oh God, I can do anything. I have just had sex with a woman!’ “

Justin Timberlake’s Pals Support Jessica Biel

Justin Timberlake’s friends are desperate for him to rekindle his romance with Jessica Biel.

Those close to the 28-year-old singer are concerned about his crumbling relationship with Jessica, and are putting pressure on him to work through their problems.

A source said, “Justin’s friends are usually all about anything he wants, but in this case, his boys are totally disappointed in him. They think he’s making a big mistake. Justin and Jessica have their problems, but all in all, his friends think she is one of the best things that ever happened to him.”

Justin had been relying on his pals to go to nightclubs with him when his relationship hit the rocks, but they have not been keen on the idea.

The source added to FOX 411 blog, “They really thought he got past all of that. But it’s all beginning all over again. They think if they don’t give in he may come to his senses and sort out his relationship. That’s what they really want to see happen.”

Earlier this month it was claimed Justin was “re-evaluating” his two-and-a-half year romance.

Neither Justin nor 27-year-old Jessica have commented on the break-up claims.

Kelly Osbourne has sweated her way to a size 8.

The presenter has a new, toned physique due to starring in US TV talent show ‘Dancing with the Stars’ but still isn’t happy with certain parts of her body.

She told Britain’s Closer magazine, “I am a size 8 now since losing more than 14lbs from all the dance training. I’ve been that small before, but it was when I was taking drugs and was really unhealthy. Now I’m so fit and even my skin looks better – I think it’s from all the sweating!

“I am not loving my upper arms to be honest – I think I’ll start doing some weights to tone them up.”

Kelly has previously revealed she is enjoying appearing on the show much more than she thought she would.

She reduced mother Sharon to tears with her Viennese waltz, and is thrilled with how easy she has found mastering the steps to different routines.
