It has been revealed that Jessica Paré is pregnant with her first child!

A rep for the Mad Men actress confirmed the exciting news to US Weekly.

This will be the first child for Jessica and her partner, John Kastner, a Canadian musician.

Jessica is famous for her role as Megan Draper in the hit show, Don’s second wife. It has not yet been revealed how the pregnancy will be played out on screen.

Mad Men famously gave January Jones a storyline in which she had put on a lot of weight in order to hide her first pregnancy with son, Xavier.

Congratulations to Jessica and John on their lovely baby news!

Jessica Wright and Ricky Rayment are one of TOWIE's longest lasting couples, but now it appears their relationship is on the rocks.

The couple, who have been together for two years, were filmed having a blazing row on Monday night outside a nightclub in Essex.

The argument, which will be shown on tonight's episode of the show, was sparked when Jess confronted Ricky for sending flirtatious private messages to another woman on Twitter – believed to be former X Factor contestant Lydia Lucy. During the fight, Jess can be seen shouting and pointing while Ricky defends himself.

It's not the first time the star couple have dealt with cheating allegations. They split briefly last year when Ricky revealed he had cheated on Jess at the beginning of their relationship.

"It is true. I did cheat on you. I can't look at your face and say it didn't happen," Ricky said at the time.

A friend of the pair says Jess is hurt that Ricky has messed her around once again. "Jess is furious. Ricky has cheated before, so this is totally unacceptable to her. She found flirty messages between him and Lydia and it felt like history repeating itself."

Ricky was apparently annoyed that his girlfriend started an argument while the TOWIE cameras were rolling, rather than doing it in private. "She confronted him during filming, which really upset Ricky," said the source. "He felt she could have asked him off camera, so it got his back up."

Although the pair have survived arguments in the past, friends are worried that this could be the end for Jess and Ricky. “It was heated – they were screaming," said the insider. "She expected him to just apologise but instead the row could end their two-year relationship.”

Although the couple have yet to comment on their public fight, Jess didn't appear too cheery on Twitter on the day of the row:

We hope they can work things out!

When Sarah Hyland split from her long-term boyfriend Matthew Prokop two months ago, her fans were devastated. But she soon revealed that the relationship hadn't been as happy as others had believed. 

The Modern Family actress filed for a restraining order from Matthew back in September, stating that he had continually verbally and physically abused her while they were together, at one point holding her throat with "a grip so tight that [she] could not breath or speak."

Sarah has since been granted a three-year order stipulating that Matthew cannot be within 100 yards of her, her house or her place of work at any time. Now for the first time, the actress has spoken out about her attempts to move on.

In an appearance on The Meredith Vieira Show, the 23-year-old opened up about moving beyond her pain, referencing lines from two of her favourite poets.

"There are two quotes that I want to say," the actress began. "One is a Dylan Thomas poem, ‘Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light,’ which is one of my favourite poems.  It just strikes a chord in me. And also Robert Frost, 'The only way out is through.'"

Although she did not directly reference Matthew when asked about dealing with an abusive relationship, Sarah finished by saying, "People have to go through things in order to become the person they are today, and that's that."

We all have stages in life when we find ourselves going it alone, doing our own thing, flying the flag for single ladies everywhere and we're completely OK with that! Then there are those other times where our single status seems to DEFINE us, right? 

Ever experienced any of these classic 'singleton' moments?

1) Your friends are talking about their boyfriend’s annoying ‘male’ habits and you realise all your anecdotes revolve around the only males in your life right now; your dad and your brother.

2) You’ve gone out with your favourite couple so many times that you start to think Date Night is automatically MEANT to include you. You went to the new Italian? Without me?

3) You’ve stopped making the requisite third wheel joke now because 238 times in a row isn’t funny.

4) You endure the horror of being set-up by a well-meaning couple…a well-meaning drunk couple…who really, really want one night on the sofa watching Love/Hate without you.

5) Being told relationships aren’t all they’re cracked up to be after witnessing your friend’s boyfriend find her glasses, make her tea and squeeze her hand in the most tender and non puke-worthy PDA ever. TELL IT TO THE JUDGE!

6) You inadvertently become the group’s Carrie Bradshaw train wreck. At dinner, when six couples have their arms around each other, you take centre-stage, wine sloshing over your wrist while your Dating Disaster tales are met with gales of laughter. Am I being pitied or revered right now?

7) You can expect one call a week from a downtrodden friend bemoaning their relationship, the lull in their sex-life and the fact Steve has yet again forgotten that every second Thursday is Shellac day.

Unfortunately though, you can’t chat for too long. There’s a bar, five single friends waiting for you and a new dress that needs an outing.
Can you include this week’s information in next week’s ‘Why Steve is the worst boyfriend ever’ call? ZING!

Louis Tomlinson has some explaining to do!

The 1D singer was carted off by police yesterday – and he didn't look one bit happy about it. 

Before you start planning on camping outside his local prison though, don't panic – it was all a bit of fun for the lads' new video.

For the shoot, the 22-year-old singer gets in an altercation with a policeman after being pulled over in his car.

Despite his pouting face, it appears Louis had a good time filming the scene, if this tweet is anything to go by:

Harry Styles was also spotted filming scenes for the new vid earlier in the week, this time on an ice rink. Hmmm… we're just a touch confused as to what the video is actually going to be about!

The boys are no stranger to bizarre scenes in their vids, though. The Steal My Girl video was released last week and features an odd mix of characters – from Danny de Vito to a team of sumo wrestlers!

We do like the song a LOT, despite the very, very odd video. And it seems we're not the only ones – the band's new album, Four, hits shelves on November 17 and has already made number one on album charts in 65 countries since it was made available for pre-order.

The following people shouldn't be let anywhere near a cinema.  If you recognise yourself in this list, then hang your head in shame, girl.
Let us begin.

#1
We’ve all been there. Settled back in our seat, pick-n-mix in our laps, blinding light from hell in both our eyes.

Congratulations, you’ve been seated behind The Texter; the person who leaves all their digital communication for the two hour window they’ve scheduled to check out the latest blockbuster. Bravo, the world applauds you.

#2
A small kick aimed at your lower back gives you a jolt. "Accidental, has to be", you think. Then another. And another. You turn around to register your irritation, but they stare straight ahead. Did you imagine it?

No. That’s what they WANT you to think. Congrats, you’ve been seated in front of The Kicker. What the HELL is wrong with people?

#3
Ah cinema- no chats, no inner dialogue, no worries. No chance.  “Ooooh, I’m definitely going to see that…There’s your man. What’s his name? Oh, whashisname? What’s this we’re seeing again? Will it ever start? We’ve been here twenty minutes.”

Congratulations, you’ve been seated beside The Talker. Move. Move now, before it’s too late.

#4
They’re gone. You’ve finished them. They're no more. DEAL WITH IT! No, no, don’t start ripping the bag apart to make sure. Oh, Lawd.

Holla, you’ve been seated in the vicinity of The Rustler: the person who can’t BELIEVE their bag of Doritos finally came to an end. Didn’t they pay for one of those new-fangled never-ending bags? No, no you didn’t, now give it up!

#5
You have tasted every morsel alongside this enthusiastic eater. Every sour worm, every nacho, every kernel of popcorn. Now they’re done, you can finally relax, right? Wrong. Time for the family-sized bag of Malteasers. Crunch, crunch, crunch.

Praise Jesus, you’re the gal who got seated right by The Chomper. It’s not going to get any better. Just go home. The movie only got three stars, anyway.

Listen and listen good, girls. These people are sent to test us, but will they win?
Yes, they will. Stick with Netflix. Less lunatics.

So, Lindsay Lohan has only gone and commissioned a naked portrait of herself. As you do. The 28-year-old star of Mean Girls decided that now was as good a time as any to pose naked for London-based street artist, Pegasus. And why not? Like our mums always say, "Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” Right?

The Andy Warhol inspired portrait depicts Lindsay, all pouting red lips and bountiful bosom, in a provocative pose which the actress has now hung in her dressing room. Stunning Lindsay bares a striking resemblance to Marilyn Monroe in the portrait, which is perhaps unsurprising given the young actress’s admiration of the 1950’s pin-up.

Lindsay got in touch with Pegasus after being particularly impressed by a portrait he did of Kylie Minogue and asked to be the model for his next piece. Pegasus, unsurprisingly, jumped at the chance.

Gushing about the controversial actress, he says: “I love Lindsay! She is beautiful! She has had such hard times, but comes back even more beautiful! I loved painting her!” Pegasus, in a touching gesture, hand-delivered the painting to Lindsay after a performance of her new West End play, Speed-The-Plow.

We wonder if she'll stop at just one!

The much-loved actor and comedian Bill Cosby has been accused of rape and molestation. Rumours of allegations came to light recently when comedian Hannibal Buress made reference to reports that the star of The Cosby Show and his PR team had continuously hid allegations that go as far back as the 1970's.

However, one alleged victim of the actor, Barbara Bowman, has recently spoken out about her experience with Mr. Cosby. Claiming to have been drugged and raped by the actor in the 1980's, Barbara says Mr. Cosby suggested she treat him like a father figure.

In a recent interview, the woman who worked as a young model in Denver around the time of the alleged attacks, said: "It was invasive and frightening and humiliating. There was no way I could tell my mother, I couldn't even admit it to myself. I was paralysed with fear."

This is not the first time that Barbara has attempted to come forward with her claims. Having learned that another woman had made similar accusations against the 77-year-old veteran actor in 2006, Barbara intended to testify against Mr. Cosby, but was unable to do so as the other woman settled out of court.

Talking about her confusion at the time, Barbara said: "I was in the presence of the most powerful man in America at the time. Dr. Huxtable chose me!"  While a spokesman for Bill Cosby couldn't be reached regarding the current claims, the actor has denied previous allegations with his attorney dismissing them as 'bizarre and preposterous".

While we never like to hear that any of our favourite couples are going through a rough patch, a tiny part of us DOES like to know that they MIGHT just be like the rest of us. Take Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, for example. It’s been reported that the much-loved couple were on their way to a charity event on Sunday night when they got in a right humdinger of a row and felt there was no option, but to turn around and go home.

The Saving SPOT! Fundraiser in Santa Monica had listed the famous couple as the event’s hosts for the evening, but were apparently only officially informed of their non-attendance after the event had taken place, with the couple claiming ‘logistics’ meant they had to bow out.

Portia and Ellen are far from pleased with the latest story, however, which raises questions about both the couple’s professional behaviour as well as their personal life. In response to the reports, the ladies claim that they were happy to lend their names to the organisation, but say: “The organisation was always aware that we would be unable to attend.”

Further to this, Ellen’s attorney Marty Singer said: “There was no fight that caused them not to attend.”

Oooh, what’s going on? We can’t imagine what came up that stopped Ellen, a well-known animal lover and supporter, from attending the charity event.
