First she made a move to the big screen with a lead role in John Green's Paper Towns, and now Cara Delevingne is set to take on the world of music.

The Burberry model has teamed up with producer and singer Pharrell Williams to record her first single, which has been eight months in the making.

While in Paris this week, Cara reportedly filmed the video for the new song, but the release date is being kept under wraps. "They’re going to release the song without warning, complete with video and global launch," said celeb reported Dan Wootton. "They seem to have formed a great little writing collective and apparently it’s a huge song."

This isn't the first time the pair have worked with one another, though. Cara recently partnered with Pharrell's i am OTHER design label, and the two have even appeared together in a cover shoot for British Vogue:

Rumours about a musical collaboration began when Pharrell dropped some hints at this year's BRIT awards.

"And we're happy over at i am Other to say that this is family now. There's going to be some really cool things."

We can't wait to hear the mysterious new song!

The family of the late Stephen Gately are planning a new probe into the circumstances surrounding his death.

The Boyzone singer was found dead in an apartment in Majorca in 2009, at the age of 33. It is believed he died from natural causes after a build up of fluid on his lungs caused a heart attack – but his younger brother Tony says the family never received a full explanation from Stephen's partner Andrew Cowles. 

"Only two people know what went on the night he died," Tony told The Sun. "They are his husband Andrew and a Bulgarian guy, Giorgio, who was invited to their apartment. Neither of them have fully explained to me what happened."

Stephen was found slumped on the couch in the holiday apartment he and Andrew shared while in Majorca. While out that night in gay club The Black Cat, they met the Bulgarian model Giorgio Dochev, and invited him home with them. Giorgio later revealed that Stephen had smoked cannabis on the evening of his death.

Stephen's family are now considering hiring a private investigator once a financial dispute with Andrew is settled. The Boyzone star, who never wrote a will, had assets totaling around €1.9 million, most of which will go to Andrew. But Tony says the family are not even being granted possession of treasured sentimental items like gifts, as Andrew has put a price on everything.

"There was a gold bracelet that our brother Mark got Stephen and his solicitor is now asking £7,000 (€8,800) for it," said Tony. "It only cost around £2,000 (€2,500) in the first place."

Thousands of fans attended Stephen's Dublin funeral in 2009, and his coffin was carried by his former band mates, after they travelled to Majorca to bring his body home with Andrew.

We're delighted! Actor Stanley Tucci and wife Felicity Blunt are expecting a child together!

Stanley revealed the news in an interview yesterday. "I'm very excited to be a dad. It's incredible," said the 53-year-old. 

The Hunger Games star met Felicity, sister of actress Emily Blunt, in 2006 during the filming of The Devil Wears Prada. They married during a secret ceremony in 2012 and this is their first child together.

Stanley said he thinks Felicity will be a "great" mother and admitted he has no preference for a girl or a boy. "I'm most excited to have a baby with Felicity and for the baby to be healthy… The sex is of no concern to me… The sex of the baby, that is." Cheeky!

Baby Tucci won't be short of a playmate anyway – Emily Blunt and husband John Krasinski welcomed their daughter Hazel back in February. 

And as for babysitters, Stanley already has three older children and two stepchildren with his late wife Kathryn who sadly died of breast cancer in 2009.

Congrats Stanley and Felicity!

Coca-Cola lovers, you might want to sit yourselves down for this one.

Did you know how long you would have to run just to burn off the calories of a 500ml bottle of your favourite soft drink?

At 210 calories – that’s equal to more than a tenth of women’s recommended daily intake – you would need to go on a 4.2 mile run, or a 42-minute walk.

Hearing the nutritional information read out like that changes how you look at that innocent little bottle now, doesn’t it?

Well, that’s what a group of researchers in the States are saying, and they are pushing for companies to start sharing this type of information on their packaging, so as to make customers aware of what they are putting into their bodies.

According to a study carried out by scientists from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, when people are informed of the health implications of their choices – including how long they will have to exercise to burn off the calories – they usually pick a healthier option.

As part of their research, the scientists created signs displaying the time it would take you to run off the calories of that particular drink, placing them in a number of stores.

According to their findings, published in the American Journal of Public Health, teenagers went for a healthier option, or else bought a smaller version of the soft drink when they saw the information.

Study leader Professor Sara Bleich said of the findings: “What our research found is that when you explain calories in an easily understandable way, such as how many miles of walking needed to burn them off, you can encourage behaviour change.”

The L Word actress replied, saying: “@evanrachewood you should have said hi :)” to which Evan promised she would next time: @Haha. I would have slurred my words. Next time. But yea, you are amazing. Helped me realise who i am. Big fan 😉 @katemoennig.”

Katherine is the first person Evan has been linked to since her split from husband, Jamie Bell, with whom she has one child, a son whose name has never been publicly released. 

Could this be the start of something wonderful for Evan?

Missy Elliot has made her first public appearance since the summer and her new slimmer figure has hit headlines everywhere. 

The singer, songwriter and rapper performed at Alexander Wang’s H&M Collection launch in New York when she posted a photo to Twitter, writing: Just got off stage thank @ALEXANDERWANGNY and @hmusa for having me perform I enjoyed.”

Missy was diagnosed with Graves’ disease back in 2008, an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, which in turn can affect metabolism. 

She spent much of 2008-2011 focusing on her health, speaking about the disease back in 2011, she said: “I feel great. Under my doctor’s supervision, I’ve been off medication for about a year and I’m completely managing the condition though diet and exercise.”

So Taylor Swift HATES Jamie Oliver – but it’s all for a good cause!

The singer and the British TV chef appeared in a skit for Stand Up to Cancer which sees Taylor getting very, very wound up by the chef!

Showing that Taylor takes her baking VERY seriously indeed, she is less than impressed by Jamie’s version of Shake It Off, and when he starts to steal her ingredients all hell breaks loose. 

We must say, Taylor is quite the actress if this skit is anything to go by!

As for Jamie's singing skills…well let's hope he doesn't quit the day job.
