Most
18-year-olds would be happy to just have a big party to mark the milestone age,
with a few token presents thrown in to boot.
But Justin
Bieber clearly isn't your average teenager as he's splashed out on a lavish
mansion for a birthday treat to himself.
The Baby
singer is buying up a $10.8million property in the Hollywood Hills to set up a
lovenest for himself and girlfriend Selena Gomez.
Mila Kunis speaks out about drastic
Black Swan weight loss as she poses for sweet photo shoot;
There is no
doubt that Mila Kunis has always had a thin frame.
So when the
actress dropped a whopping 20 pounds (9kg) for her role in Black Swan, the
effects were permanent, and now the 28-year-old star has admitted her body ‘has
never been the same’.
She told
Harper’s Bazaar US magazine: ‘My shape is different. When I got down to 95
pounds, I was muscles, like a little brick house, but skin and bones. When I
gained it back, it went to completely different areas.
Victoria Beckham on how she won't let
style standards slip;
She has
transformed herself into a fashion icon, now dressing A-list friends Cameron
Diaz and Eva Longoria in her own designs.
But although
even the most stylish of people sometimes let their standards slip, Victoria
Beckham is adamant she'll never be seen in public in anything but her best.
The former Spice Girl has declared that she'll never be caught stepping out in a tracksuit like some stars often do because she is far too fashion conscious.

Christina Milian gets into the party
spirit as she celebrates daughter Violet's second birthday.
The
30-year-old singer was busy celebrating her daughter Violet Madison Nash's
second birthday at Giggles N' Hugs in the Century City Mall in Los Angeles.
Little
Violet wore her hair in pigtails and her best party dress - a pretty white
flower-print number as she joined in the fun.
Some of the
fans are disappointed that it has been raining in Boston. Why? ‘It might mean
that One Direction won’t like the city and they’ll never, ever come back
again,’ says Megan Connor, 16, almost in tears.
There are
goosebumps on her bare legs and the wintry showers have washed away some of the
ink on her home-made Union flag poster, but she doesn’t care. ‘One Direction
are in my city,’ she says, ‘which means that I am breathing the same air as
them.’
She pauses
for a moment to let this incredible fact sink in. Then she throws back her head
and lets rip with a tonsil-waggling scream.
Not only are
One Direction displacing some home-grown, heart-throb acts in the affections of
America’s teen fan base, they are also one of the few British acts for decades
to succeed in breaking into the lucrative U.S. market.
Why have
this bunch of new generation moptops succeeded where so many other UK hopefuls
have failed?
The
Directioners, of course, have all the answers. ‘One Direction are so different
from American bands. They are polite. And I love their accents,’ says Sydney.
‘I love
their hair. They have voices like angels, even though they are just ordinary
boys,’ says Jillian, who adds she loves all things English including ‘those big
red buses you guys have and also Adele’.
And while
the group — Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis
Tomlinson — are undeniably cute, the
true Directioner loves the boys for more than their good looks.
On top of
this aesthetic blessing, their carefully-calibrated songs plug straight into
the mainframe of adolescent angst. Put it another way, they sing lyrics that
every teenage girl longs to hear.
‘What makes
you beautiful,’ they croon. ‘Is that you don’t know you are beautiful.’
They are scrupulously
polite at every opportunity. ‘Everything we do is for you guys, so thank you so
much,’ says Harry.
In television interviews and promotions, they handle the most inane questions with charm. On an interview with a Boston radio station earlier in the day, Liam was asked what he would be doing if he wasn’t in a pop band. ‘I’d open up a sweet shop and sell liquorice,’ he said, rather winningly.
Certainly, in the tuck shop of pop, bands don’t come any more manufactured and sugary than One Direction. They didn’t even audition for The X Factor as a unit; putting themselves forward as individuals, they each failed to make it in the boys’ section and were formed into a group by the show’s producers.
