Couples costumes can be the height of cheese, but sometimes, people just get it right.

Much loved actor Bill Murray was being interviewed by David Letterman this week when he suddenly thought 'enough is enough' and abruptly exited the famous Ed Sullivan theatre.

The sixty-four-year old star clearly didn't feel the interview with veteran chat show host, David, should interrupt his training for upcoming New York City marathon. Asking David: “Can you handle things? I should really get a run in”, Bill decided to bolt from the studios and dash through Manhattan's crowded streets in a tuxedo, much to the delight of bemused onlookers.

The Lost in Translation star, famous as much for his eccentric behaviour as his film roles, stole a pretzel and some water on his run (The man has to stay fuelled and hydrated, right?) before returning to the set of the late night talk show wrapped in an aluminium blanket. Surely only Bill Murray could get away with that.

Although considering some of Bill's other antics, including karaoking with complete strangers he met in a New York bar and randomly joining a game of kickball he encountered on Roosevelt Island, maybe a brisk run to prepare for a marathon is one of his more normal!

Remember how stunning Blake Lively looked in the photo she used to announce her pregnancy? Well, it seems the 27-year-old actress has no intention of dropping the standards now. Making her first red carpet appearance since the happy announcement, Blake dazzled onlookers in a floor length sparkling gown that hugged her burgeoning bump.

Looking radiant at the God's Love We Deliver Golden Heart Awards yesterday, the actress wearing a Michael Kors design posed for paparazzi and clearly enjoyed showing off her beautiful new figure and why wouldn't she? Pregnancy clearly suits the Gossip Girl star and it seems she's set to enjoy every minute of the exciting journey.

Husband, and father-to-be, actor Ryan Reynolds was nowhere to be seen however. But Blake didn't fly solo at the charity awards for long, quickly mingling with Vogue editor Anna Wintour, designer Michael Kors, who created many of the stunning gowns for award attendees, and fellow actresses Halle Berry and Bette Midler.

Blake's non-stop smiling suggests that her bump is all the company she needs right now anyway!

Poor David Willis has been enjoying a trip around Europe for the last couple of weeks – but he got a bit of a shock when he became trapped overnight in a London branch of Waterstone's.

The Texan took to social media (of course) to let the world know he had been locked inside the Trafalgar Square store after hours… though he did call the police too!

This is me locked inside a waterstones bookstore in London. I was upstairs for 15 minutes and came down to all the lights out and door locked. Been here over an hour now. Supposedly someone is on their way. #nofilter #london

Twitter went into a frenzy of shock, sympathy and jealousy:

The suspense only intensified when David went off-radar for an hour with no contact:

The fear! He finally came back online to let everyone know he'd been saved:

Although he neglected to let his girlfriend know before the rest of the world… oops.

We hope he brought her back a few books as souvenirs!

Prepare to have your taste buds tingling after reading this post.

Ever found yourself thinking more about a delicious meal served up rather than a serious plot twist in your favourite book?

Well, you’re not alone!

A graphic designer who found herself inspired by the yummy meals from her favourite childhood classics has released a new cookbook, in which she brings these dishes to life.

Dinah Fried first got the idea for new book, Fictitious Dishes, during her final year at Rhode Island School of Design. After being handed an assignment to photograph table tops, Dinah decided to put her fascination with fictitious foods into action.

Fried ran with the idea, compiling 50 amazing recipes inspired by her love of literature into a book – and it looks amazing!

Among the culinary delights Dinah creates in Fictitious Dishes are The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’s famous Turkish delight, Heidi’s bread and melted cheese, and a seafood chowder which draws its inspiration from Moby Dick.

Our tummies are rumbling just looking at these photos. This is definitely one to add to the kitchen bookshelf!

Love/ Hate creator Stuart Carolan has revealed that the award-winning programme may no longer be confined to the small screen. When initially asked whether the story of Nidgie and the lads would work on the big screen, Stuart was undoubtedly hesitant saying: “A Love/Hate feature length film? Eh, not immediately, no. It's hard enough just to do this series as it is.”

It seems, however, that Stuart has had a change of heart. He admits that he is now currently considering a Love/Hate movie and we for one can not wait. Perhaps Stuart was particularly impressed by the cast's recent performance in other films and realised he might be missing a trick?

Charlie Murphy, who plays Siobhan in the smash show, recently played a part in critically acclaimed film '71 and it's also been a successful year film-wise for Killian Scott, who plays Tommy. Performing opposite Charlie in '71, he also had a small role earlier this year in Calvary, starring Brendan Gleeson. There's no doubt that these set of actors are well able for the TV to film transition.

Love/Hate burst onto our screens in October 2010 and has gone from strength to strength ever since. Currently in season five, the show is the the main topic of conversation in offices around the country every Monday morning and we absolutely love our Sunday night fix of Nidge and the crew!

Things are getting very interesting between Kelly Brook and David McIntosh!

The couple split up nearly three weeks ago following allegations that David had cheated. Earlier this week Kelly posted a series of cryptic tweets which seemed to be in reference to her broken heart. "I’m sorry for how I’ve behaved. I really loved you," read one of the messages.

Now though, it seems the pair might be giving things another go! After being spotted out for a meal in West Hollywood on Wednesday night, the two were spotted leaving Kelly's home together the following morning.

Hmmm… sounds like it was more than a friendly get-together!

It's strange that the lovebirds have reconciled so fast, given how much they've been lashing out at each other on social media of late. When Kelly reached out to David on Twitter last week to warn him that some intimate photos from her iCloud account had been leaked, his response was less-than-sweet:

Kelly then slated her ex's immaturity, saying "Your Ego is beyond. David all my US iCloud pics are online not just of you. Be a grown up." Awkward!

The couple, who started dating last New Year's Eve, have already split up twice in the ten months they've been together. We hope they can work things out once and for all!

Model Amber Rose used some serious girl power yesterday when she gave ex-husband Wiz Khalifa a hint of what he had lost!

Amber split from Wiz last month when she walked in on him cheating on her with twin socialites Jess and Nas Rose, after just one year of marriage. The model has since filed for divorce from her rapper husband. 

She didn't hold back with her most recent Instagram shot though, showing some full-on booty:

The picture is captioned "#Thot #Whore #Hoe #Slut #GoldDigger….. #ButDatAssonFleekDoe"… which seems to be a bit of a dig at Wiz's latest tune Pu**y Overrated in which he brands his ex as a gold-digger. Ouch!

It's great to see Amber's back to her usual cheeky self, though. Early last week she wasn't in such good form, as she took to Twitter to express her heartbreak and pain over the shock split:

We hope she finds the man she deserves soon!

A new study has found that crash diets may actually be one of the most effective ways to lose weight.

Researchers recently carried out a study on 200 obese adults in Australia, dividing them up into two groups. The first group were put on a rapid weight loss scheme, or ‘crash diet’, where their calorie intake was dramatically cut over the course of 12 weeks.

Their counterparts were then placed on a different diet, one which saw their calorie intake slowly reduced over a 36-week period, and which went by the national health authority’s guidelines for healthy weight loss.

The findings of the study proved quite surprising, with researchers discovering that the first group – the one that undertook the ‘crash diet’ approach – were actually more likely to hit their targets and maintain their desired weight than the other group.

To get right down to the statistics, 81 percent of the ‘crash dieters’ hit their target weight which, in comparison to only 50 percent of the gradual dieters, is a huge difference.

We know what you’re saying now, though – we bet the crash dieters put all that weight right back on again straight away.

Well, you would be wrong! When the researchers checked up on all 200 subjects three years later, they discovered that both groups had gained around 71 percent of the weight they had initially lost.

Given how we have always been advised that losing weight slowly, over a prolonged period of time is the best method, this new study definitely provides food for thought.

Police in Washington have discovered a body which they believe could be missing actress Misty Upham.

32-year-old Misty was reported missing by her family almost two weeks ago.

Last night a search party discovered the body at the bottom of a ravine in the White River area. Although it has yet to be formally identified, the search party also reportedly found the actress' purse nearby.

A police spokesman told a local paper that there was "good chance" the body was Misty's.

Misty's August: Osage County co-star Meryl Streep commented on the tragic incident saying, "So so sad to hear this news – all our thoughts are with her family and her beautiful spirit."

 

The actress, best known for her role in Frozen River, had previously battled with mental illness. Her father mentioned to police that a recent change in medication had left her struggling with depression and panic attacks, but he later said he didn't think she would have taken her own life. 

"I feel that she has been hurt by accident or someone has put her in harm's way… Misty has suffered from mental illness most of her life. With the help of her medical team and family support she is able to manage it well," he said.

Misty had recently moved to the Washington area to care for her father who had suffered a stroke.

Congratulations are in order for actor Jude Law tonight.

It has been revealed that the Sherlock Holmes actor is set to become a father for the fifth time, with the news that his ex-girlfriend, Catherine Harding, is pregnant with their child.

The actor’s representative confirmed the news to People tonight with a statement which read: “I can confirm that Jude Law and Catherine Harding are expecting a child together in the spring.”

The rep added: “Whilst they are no longer in a relationship, they are both wholeheartedly committed to raising their child. They consider this a private matter and other than this confirmation no statement will be made.”

The rep went on to ask the media and public to respect both stars’ privacy in the wake of the announcement.

Jude is already a dad to his three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost – Rafferty, Iris and Rudy – and another daughter, Sophia, with ex-girlfriend Samantha Burke.

What lovely news. Congratulations to the mother and father-to-be.

Is there anything that Will.i.am cannot turn his hand to?

It would seems that the singer has turned tech entrepreneur on us, after unveiling his new ‘smart cuff’, the Puls.

The Black Eyed Peas star is obviously keen to give Apple a run for their money, creating this fancy new accessory that not only tells the time, but also makes phone calls and access online services.

The star, who created the snazzy new device with his electronics company i.am+, was at pains to emphasise that the Puls is most certainly “not a watch” during its live launch show in San Francisco.

Indeed, not only can the cuff do all of the amazing things mentioned above, but it can also monitor fitness, play music and allow wearers to interact on social media.

While we have no clue how long the battery in Will’s super-duper cuff lasts for, the models presented on stage came out wearing special coats that can actually charge the device using battery packs.

Few details have been released regarding pricing and when the Puls will be going on sale, but one all-important criteria has been unveiled – the colours! The Puls will be available in a range of shades including black, white, pink and blue.

And for those who want to push the boat out, flashy solid-gold and diamond-encrusted versions will also be available.

Since the launch, Will has taken to Twitter to simply say: “Today was awesome.”

We’d believe it, Will!
