Russell Crowe has lost over 16lbs on a tough new exercise and diet regime.

The Oscar-winning actor – whose weight has fluctuated over the years – began a 105 day bid to get into shape on June 17 and has already ditched some of his excess flab by following a gluten free diet and a punishing fitness schedule.

Writing on his twitter page today (13.07.11), he revealed: “220 lbs this morning, started at 236.4 lbs. 45 min walk, 12 mins eliptical, weighted objects 40 mins, walk 25 mins. 2400 cal a day maximum, all meals & all beverages. Where possible gluten free (sic).”

Since announcing his get fit plan, Russell has been posting regular updates for his 253,289 twitter followers, writing last month: “day 12 of a 105 day training period, there is a long way to go, one layer of tissue paper per day of effort and diet … it takes a long time (sic).”

Dad-of two Russell – who is married to singer Danielle Spencer – is hoping to lose a total of 41.1 lbs, tweeting “ My goal around 185 lb started at 236.4 (sic)”

Cee Lo Green wants to date Pippa Middleton.

Cee Lo Green wants to date Pippa Middleton.

The ‘Forget You’ hitmaker admits he has become more “selective” as his fame has increased and thinks he is at a point where he could “f**k up” his career if he wasn’t fussy about who he dates.

Speaking about how fame has changed him, he said: “This is going to be a strange comparison, but I think you’ll get it. As men, when we become famous, we become as particular as pretty women. So, these days I’m more selective.

“You learn that you can’t go to every party you’re invited to if you expect to last. Plus, for me to f**k up and do something stupid would be the greatest insult to all the art that I’ve accomplished, so I can’t be screwing around with just anyone now.

“I’ve got to go for a duchess or something. I’ve got to aim for … what’s her name? Pippa? Piper?”

Asked if he meant Pippa Middleton – the sister of Duchess Catherine, the wife of Prince William – he told Shortlist magazine: “Yeah. I’ve got to go for Pippa, man. She’s gorgeous. I like her.”

Despite his success, the singer also believes he is still “anti-establishment” because he doesn’t feel like he fits in with other musicians.

He explained: “A song called ‘F**k You’ still has a little attitude, right?  That’s still authentic and anti-establishment, maybe more so because it was such a big hit, even with that title. But I’ll always be anti-establishment because I’ve never felt like I belong. You don’t wear a feathered suit to the Grammys to fit in.”

Ryan Reynolds is reportedly enjoying a secret romance with Charlize Theron.

 

The 34-year-old actor – who split from wife Scarlett Johansson last December – is said to have been dating the 35-year-old actress “for months” but the pair have been deliberately keeping the romance under wraps.

A source told Us Weekly magazine:  “They have been dating — for months! They’re exclusive, and it’s very hush-hush.”

The pair have not yet been photographed together, but the magazine reports that witnesses saw the ‘Green Lantern’ actor’s motorcycle parked outside Charlize’s house all morning one day last month, before Ryan eventually emerged from the property at 3pm and she left just minutes later.

Insiders believe the pair make a good couple because of their similar attitudes to work.

One source said: “They’re both career-focused but not in a crazy way.”

However, Charlize – who ended her nine-year relationship with Stuart Townsend last year – is not planning to be seen in public with Ryan any time soon.

The source said: “She won’t go to an event with him. That’s not her style.”

Meanwhile, Ryan recently found the time to have dinner with 26-year-old Scarlett at Little Dom’s in Los Angeles.

Kim Cattrall Fine with Age

Kim Cattrall has “no desire” to look like she is 20.The 54-year-old actress – best known for playing Samantha Jones in ‘Sex and the City’ – would rather appear “healthy” and of her own age as she has no desire to reclaim her youth.

She said: “I had a great time in my youth and still feel very youthful, but I have no desire to look as though I’m 20. I want to look healthy, but I want to look closer to my age.”

Kim also admitted she “doesn’t believe” in cosmetic surgery because she is worried about something going wrong if she went under the knife.

She added in an interview with Reveal magazine: “I don’t believe in cosmetic surgery, well, not yet. I’d be too frightened. There are so many examples of things that have gone horribly wrong. I live in New York in an area where it is all around me.”

While she is aware she will always be associated with ‘Sex and the City’, Kim is proud of the show because it helped changed women’s attitudes to sex.

She said: “The show had a hand in changing people’s ideas of women and who they are as sexual beings.”

Daniel Radcliffe wants a tattoo.

The 21-year-old actor admits one of the good things about the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise – in which he has played the titular boy wizard in all eight movies – coming to an end is that he can have some body art as he was previously unable to do so because of his commitment to the film series.

He said: “I definitely do want to get some tattoos, something that would have been ill-advised during Potter.”

During his time out from filming the ‘Harry Potter’ movies, Daniel starred in a stage production of ‘Equus’ in both London and New York, in which he had to strip naked.

While he insists he doesn’t mind baring all for a role, the actor admits it was a “terrifying” experience.

He told Britain’s Star magazine: “It’s like, ‘Put it away, Dan!’ I really don’t mind anymore. I performed ‘Equus’ well over 300 times.

“I still had the fear every night though, absolutely. I hate all these actors who say it’s liberating. That’s rubbish, you liars, it’s not liberating – it’s terrifying!”

Anna Friel will "always love" David Thewlis.

 

The ‘Pushing Daisies’ actress – who ended her 10-year relationship with the ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ actor late last year – is now dating ‘Notting Hill star Rhys Ifans but admits she will always have feelings for her former love, with who she has a six-year-old daughter Gracie.

She said: “We were together for 10 years and I’ll always love him very much.

“He’s a dear, dear man and we’re great parents. He’s always got his eye on Gracie, as have I.”

Following the cancellation of ‘Pushing Daisies’ in 2009, Anna has moved back to the UK and loves the fact having a permanent base in Windsor, Berkshire, South East England, has allowed her and David to give Gracie stability, despite the upheaval in their personal life.

She added in an interview with Stylist magazine: “Gracie’s got that stability and as far as the break-up goes, she’s unscathed by it.

“We juggle it and Gracie is always out biggest priority and I think that’s all I have to say about that.”

Beyonce Knowles blows "snot bubbles" on stage.

 

The 29-year-old singer – who is known for her sexy dance routines – finds her sets often don’t go quite as planned due to her runny nose, leading to bubbles forming when she can’t blow it.

She said: “My nose runs a lot and when I’m singing I can’t blow it, so there have been occasions when I’ve ended up with a bubble coming out my nose.”

Beyonce’s nose is not the only problem on stage – the ‘Girls (Who Run the World)’ hitmaker confesses she needs to have wind machines blowing air around her constantly because she is a profuse sweater.

She added: “Everyone thinks I have fans because I’m being fashionable, but I work so hard on stage if I didn’t have them I’d be dripping.”

In addition to sweating and excess mucus, Beyonce – who is married to hip hop star Jay-Z – also finds she no longer likes her feet due to the stress she has put on them from dancing in heels.

Speaking on a TV show set to air on ITV in the UK in December, she said: “If I could change one part it would be my feet. After all the years dancing they’re a little beat up. And I wear big earrings because I don’t like my ears.”

However, her foot problems did not stop Beyonce spending £9,000 when she took a trip to London’s Oxford Street earlier this week.

A source who saw her shopping said: “It was like that shopping scene out of the film ‘Pretty Woman’.

‘Everyone was gobsmacked by the speed she was choosing clothes. When she hit the shoe section she picked up even more speed. The woman clearly loves footwear.”

Lady Gaga would give away "every dollar" she has if she could.

 

The ‘Edge of Glory’ hitmaker – who is estimated to be worth $112.8 million – explained being wealthy and gaining worldwide recognition was never something she aspired to, and she would be happy to give it all up.

Speaking in Sydney as part of her ‘Monster’s Ball’ tour, she said: “Money and recognition were never a driving factor for me. I was driven by recognition by showbiz.

“What does come along with showbiz is recognition, but the money goes right back into the show. If I had to give it all away, every dollar that I’ve earned, I would.”

However, the 25-year-old singer might not have so much cash to splash in the future, as she recently claimed her tour had “bankrupted” her.

She said: “I put everything in the show, and I actually went bankrupt after the first extension of the ‘Monster Ball’. And it was funny because I didn’t know!

“And I remember I called everybody and said, ‘Why is everyone saying I have no money? This is ridiculous, I have five number one singles’ – and they said, ‘Well, you’re $3 million in debt.’ “
