Rihanna’s faceplant caught on film [VIDEO]

I’m sure there are a lot of smart ass comments that can be made about Rihanna running across the stage in high-heels and doing a faceplant but we here at The Inquisitr are above that sort of thing – so we’ll leave it up to you guys to add to the humor (sick as it may be).

The fall happened during her show in Marseille France but didn’t stop her from finishing the show like a real trooper. It is thought though that the fall may have been behind the reason for her trip to the emergency room in Switzerland this past week.

Kourtney Kardashian Proud of Bigger Bottom


Kourtney Kardashian loves her bigger bottom.

The reality TV star, who gave birth to her first child, son Mason, in December – piled on 40lbs during her pregnancy and although she prefers her new plumper butt, Kourtney admits she needs to keep it in check.

She said, “I want to try to do squats – stuff that will keep the booty up there!”

The 30-year-old socialite doesn’t just use the classic power move that helps lift, tone and define, as she’s recently become very serious about jogging too.

She said, “I’m big on running – just putting on my iPod Shuffle and going for a run by my house. You’ll be having fun and losing weight at the same time.”

Kourtney also credited a couple of small changes in her diet as making a difference to her body shape.

She told Life and Style magazine, “I used to always get a chai latte from Starbucks, but I just switched to one espresso shot. I’m allowing myself one serving of caffeine while breastfeeding baby Mason, and the latte was really all sugar and milk.



Britney Spears Seeks Astrologer’s Help To Fix Her Life


Britney Spears is seeking guidance from an astrologer.

The ‘Womanizer’ hitmaker, whose relationship with agent Jason Trawick is reportedly in trouble, has approached British TV star-gazer Russell Grant and asked for a reading to find out what her future holds.

Russell, 59, confirmed, “I got an email from Britney Spears’ office. Apparently she wants a reading. I need to check out its validity.”

This is not the first time 28-year-old Britney, who has sons Sean Preston, four, and three-year-old Jayden James with ex-husband Kevin Federline, has turned to Russell for advice.

A source told The Sun newspaper, “Britney has asked Russell for readings in the past and really values his advice.”

Britney is not the only star to have an interest in astrology.

It was recently claimed that Victoria Beckham has taken up ‘yogalosophy’ – a fitness regime which combines the ancient meditative practice of yoga with astrology – after being introduced to it by actress Jennifer Aniston.

A friend said, “Victoria hates working out in the gym, but she has to keep in shape, so she is always on the lookout for a new exercise regime.

“She bought the Yogalosophy DVD and does her workout at home around four times a week to ‘align her mind and spirit’. She’s really starting to notice the difference.”



Charlotte Church Axes Gavin Henson’s Bachelor Party


Charlotte Church has made Gavin Henson cancel his bachelor party.

The singer-and-presenter is reportedly worried about the rugby player’s plans to fly out to Las Vegas with several of his pals ahead of their forthcoming wedding, and is insisting they throw a joint pre-martial party for their friends.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper, “He called up all his old pals and said he wanted to spend five days in Vegas drinking and partying. Gav wants it to be the party everyone remembers. All his friends are really up for it and his dad, Alan, is coming along too.

“Charlotte knows what Gav’s schoolmates are like and reckons things will get out of hand. She’s worried they’ll shave his eyebrows off or get him arrested for something silly like being naked in the street.

“Now she’s trying to talk Gav into having a joint do so she can keep her eye on him.”

The 24-year-old star and her 28-year-old fiance, who have two children, Ruby, two, and 15-month-old Dexter, are reportedly hoping to tie the knot on Paradise Island in the Bahamas in the summer.

A source said, “Gavin and Charlotte are planning to get married in July. Gavin picked Paradise Island in the Bahamas because he likes the idea of seeing Charlotte walking down the beach in a wedding dress.

“They’re hoping to exchange vows on one of the island’s stunning white beaches, then have a glitzy reception afterwards. It’s the perfect place for a romantic wedding.”



Rihanna Recovering From Injured Rib


Rihanna is recovering from an injured rib.

The ‘Rude Boy’ singer was rushed to the accident and emergency department of the Hirslanden private clinic in Switzerland on Monday night, April 19, after hurting herself during her sell-out concert at the Hallenstadion venue, in Zurich.

The 22-year-old star’s publicist has now revealed Rihanna only “went to have it looked at to be sure it was nothing serious” and insists everything is now “OK, and the tour is going great”.

Rihanna, who was discharged from the hospital two-and-a-half hours after being admitted, was able to continue on the European leg of her ‘Last Girl on Earth’ tour and is now heading to Germany for a show in Frankfurt on Friday, April 23, before playing in Oberhausen on Sunday, April 25.

She then travels to Switzerland, France, back to Germany and Luxemburg before flying over to the UK and Ireland for a number of dates.

Rihanna’s tour is her most ambitious yet and features a number of costume changes and rigorous dance routines.

She said, “We’ve never done a tour to this capacity. The production is unbelievable and so are the costumes, we just took it to a whole new level. We just keep growing.”

When asked about the concept behind her show, she recently said: “It’s my world, and I’m going to live it the way I want to. That’s how I think about everything, that way I’m focused on me, and my work.

“I like to think about myself as the last girl on earth because sometimes people make decisions based on the outlook of others and, you know, to me, my life is my life.”



Kim Kardashian’s Water Bomb Bottom


Kim Kardashian’s bottom is “like a water bomb”.

The US reality TV star invited Australian talk show host Chrissie Swan to grab her rump in order to prove its authenticity live on television, prompting her to compare it to a soft, water-filled balloon.

Referring to her behind, Kim said, “While I’ve been here, a few people have asked if it’s real, so you can grab it if you want.”

Chrissie duly obliged and proclaimed, “It’s juicy and real! It’s like a water bomb. ”

Kim questioned, “Maybe a little too juicy?”

But ‘The Circle’ host disagreed, saying the reason many people admire the former ‘Playboy’ model is because of her natural looks.

Kim recently appeared naked in a photoshoot for Harpers Bazaar magazine, and said she felt more comfortable than when she appeared in Men’s magazine ‘Playboy’, and is proud that she is seen as a role model to younger girls

Kim, 29, said, “It’s definitely scary, but it’s very liberating. I think the message is embrace your curves and who you are. I feel proud if young girls look up to me and say, ‘I’m curvy and proud of it now.’

“I might have a little bit of cellulite. I might not be toned everywhere. I might struggle in this area or that.”



Lisa Kudrow Won’t Throw Away Old Documents


Lisa Kudrow can’t bear to throw away old faxes and business diaries from the 80s.

The former ‘Friends’ actress admitted to hoarding old documents, and felt bad about her habit until she appeared on TV show ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ – in which she traced her family’s past, and found many of her relatives had been victims of the holocaust, and realized even seemingly meaningless papers are part of her family history.

Lisa told Parade.com, “It’s the intimate details of these stories that personalize history and adds to the impact. I used to feel bad about holding on to things from my past like my day planners from the ’80s, and faxes and stuff.

“I’m not going to feel bad about that anymore because those are all, at some point, potentially important family documents about what I was thinking or feeling at the time.

“It turns out that everything is a clue when you’re trying to piece together a life from a few hundred years ago.”

The actress, who most recently appeared in the ‘Web Therapy’ series of internet shorts, originally had aspirations to follow her father into medical school, and said her scientific roots still inform her acting.

She added, “The scientific method done correctly doesn’t allow any judgment, no opinions. You can’t have it crowded by too much bias. I approach acting the same way. What you learn about your characters is just information, and you’re not allowed to judge them.”



Jessica Alba Campaigns On Education For All


Jessica Alba campaigned to US Congressional leaders yesterday, April 21, to help aid better standards of education in Africa.

The ‘Fantastic Four’ recently returned visiting Ghana, Senegal and South Africa with the 1GOAL charity, where she visited schools and football foundations set up to help provide schooling for needy children.

The charity is campaigning for the re-introduction of a global Education for All Act and estimates there are 72 million children worldwide who don’t have access to education, 60 per cent of which are in Africa.

Speaking of her trip, Jessica said, “It’s tough to think 72 million children don’t have access to an education. That’s a daunting number and something that’s just really hard for me to understand.

“I came to Africa to listen and learn. The individual people have inspired me.

“I traveled to Ghana, Senegal and South Africa with 1GOAL to listen and learn and see for myself the impact of education.”

Jessica – who has a 22-month old daughter, Honor Marie, with husband Cash Warren, said one school she visited in Ghana, a soccer academy, struck her because of the huge difference it is making to its pupils.

She added, “Education is the only sustainable method to fighting poverty. This summer, millions will watch South Africa host the World Cup. We’re asking people around the world to lend their voice to the 72 million children out of school and call on our world leaders to pledge the funding necessary to achieve education for all.”

1GOAL is campaigning for the Education for All Act by asking people to sign a petition on their website at www.join1Goal.org



Demi Moore “Plucks Out” Grey Hair


Demi Moore “plucks out” her grey hairs.

The 47-year-old actress is still looking very youthful, but she does her best to keep on top of any tell-tale signs of ageing.

She admitted, “I don’t dye my hair, but I do have a few grey hairs that I pluck out.”

The sexy star, who is married to actor Ashton Kutcher, who, at 32, is 15 years younger than his wife – also revealed she hates working out but has taken up Bikram yoga, which is performed in extremely high temperatures, and is finding it works wonders for her figure.

She explained, “I’d love to say that I exercise a lot but I don’t.

“Although Ashton and I have started Bikram yoga. You’re sweating so badly, you realize very quickly that no one cares what you look like, you’re all just trying to get through the 90 minutes.”

Demi admits her relaxed attitude to her appearance is relatively recent for her, but she feels much happier since she started worrying less about her looks.

She said, “I spent a good part of my early career feeling my external was a measure of value and got obsessive compulsive.

“I dieted, weighed my food and was generally a lunatic. It was only once I stepped away and realized you need to improve from the inside out that I got closer to the body I always wanted.”
