Nicole Scherzinger discusses struggle with bulimia; “It was like my addiction”

Nicole Scherzinger has spoken out about her long battle with bulimia for a new documentary. TheX Factor judge admits to her struggles with the eating disorder in a VHI Behind The Music special, admitting that she never talked about it at the time because she didn’t want to seem like a victim.

“It's embarrassing. I never spoke about it. Like I said, I never want to play a victim, and I never wanted my family to hear about things from me because I think it would break their heart,” she explains.

“I guess it was like my addiction, right? I never did drugs, but kinda doing things to myself was my addiction. It's like when I got off stage, I was on this high, and I'd come back to my room and I'd be alone, so I would just do things. My bulimia was my addiction; hurting myself was my addiction,” she admits.

The former Pussycat Doll also confesses to trying to hide her self harming injuries from the rest of the girlsl in the group, “I did it everyday for, like, years. Every time I had a second to be alone, I was doing something to myself. You get, like, blisters on your hands or scars on your hands, and I'd try to hide those. I think the girls could tell.”

Nicole says said she has since ended her self-destructive behaviour. We're very glad to hear it.

Kim Kardashian: ‘I’ve gained weight because I’m happy’

They may be one of the reasons for her worldwide fame, but Kim Kardashian says she’s taking action to rein in her curves.

Kim’s been spotted working out on South Beach in Miami and been tweeting about her weight struggles in recent days, after a magazine claimed she’d gained 15 to 20lbs since she began dating Kanye West.

Earlier this week, Kim tweeted: “How is it that @KourtneyKardash & I have the same amount of weight to lose but she just had a baby! SMH help! LOL.”

And now she’s opened up on her blog about her plan to use a dietary aid to lose weight, saying: “I started QuickTrim a few weeks ago just before I went to Australia because yes, I have gained some weight… but I guess being happy and comfortable does that to you.

“But it’s all good! I am back in the gym, watching what I eat and that combined with starting QuickTrim again means I’m feeling positive.

“I just want to be at my target weight and feel good about myself. I hate feeling heavy and lazy and it’s not a nice feeling when my clothes don’t fit. Just gotta stay focused! Xo”

Don’t worry Kim, we’ve all been there – nothing wrong with a bit of love chub at the beginning of a new relationship!

Kim Kardashian tries to keep up with Hulk Hogan's guns!

“What you gonna do…when you have @hulkhogan in the house!!!!!” is what Kim Kardashianinstagrammed after posing with the original muscle man himself.

The 31-year-old reality star attended a Miami nightclub last night and flexed her guns with the longest-reigning WCW World Heavyweight Champion of all time.

We knew it was going to be a good night for the Queen Kardashian as she tweeted earlier in the evening, “We’re going out tonight…it’s going down!”

After tweeting this picture of herself, Rob Kardashian, Scott Disick and a few other friends stating, “Ain’t nobody fresher than my clique.”

It is no secret that Kim wants to shed some weight and was recently seen taking a walk, in gym gear, on Miami beach, with her sister, Kourtney Kardashian.

Letting all her fans know, “How is it that @KourtneyKardash & I have the same amount of weight to lose but she just had a baby! SMH help! LOL.”

Kourtney's daughter, Penelope Scotland Disick, made her first worldwide debut on the cover of Us Weekly, with her mum, dad and big brother Mason Disick, 2.

Reportedly after seeing herself on the episode of Kourtney giving birth, to Penelope in Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim thought that it was time to loose some lbs.

We’re still on the fence as to whose is bigger though? Kim K’s derriere? Or Hulk Hogan’s bicep?

This week's heat film reviews - Looper, The Campaign and Holy Motors

This week the heat team grabbed their popcorn and Minstrels and headed to the pictures to watch the three biggest releases in Moviesville over the past seven days - Looper; starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis, The Campaign; starring Will Ferrell and Holy Motors; starring Kylie Minogue.

Here's what we thought:

Looper

 

• 
• 
• 

Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels
Director: Rian Johnson (CERT 15, 118 minutes)

The plot: Kansas, 2044. The economy isn’t in great shape, but paid assassin Joe (Gordon-Levitt) is doing OK: he gets paid in silver, which is attached to the bodies of the poor saps that are blasted back from the future for summary execution. All Loopers have to do is stand at the designated place and time, finger on the trigger, but Joe falters when he realises his latest target is none other than himself, 30 years older (Willis). He soon comes to regret that hesitation, and not just because of the wrath of his scary boss (Daniels)…

What’s right with it? From the basic premise, you might imagine that Looper is a high-concept sci-fi actioner about a younger and older version of the same person crossing time barriers to unite against a common foe, but a) it isn’t, and b) it’s actually a lot more interesting than that. As Joe holes up with single mum Sara (Blunt) and her young son in an isolated farmstead, the film achieves an unexpected emotional depth, and you’ll enjoy puzzling out the rules of this elaborately conceived universe.

What’s wrong with it? We initially struggled to care about a paid murderer that leads a swanky life in a dystopian future where others starve, even if Joe seems like a soulful type who listens to vinyl records and is learning French. In no small part thanks to Gordon-Levitt’s huge likeability, we soon got past this hurdle.

Verdict: With the notable exception of GI Joe, the presence of Gordon-Levitt is a reliable indicator of a film having some kind of intelligence, ambition and merit. With Looper, he’s picked another fun ride with both heart and brains.

Selena Gomez: ‘I’m never coming back’ on the Ellen DeGeneres Show

The 20-year-old pop princess was a little startled by a man with a chainsaw as Ellen DeGeneres played a prank on her.

Selena Gomez told the cheeky chat-show host that her and global sensation Justin Bieber like to go to Disneyland and visit the seasonal event at Knott’s Scary Farm.

Although she is a fan of the scary side of life she admits to acting the most terrified, “I'm the kind of person that likes to get scared but, I'm covering my eyes and ears the entire time.”

The audience surprisingly, and probably pre-warned, kept completely silent as a man dressed in a leather Texas Chainsaw Massacre style outfit sneaked out from the wings to creep up and scare Selena.

The Disney star kept to her word by immediately covering her eyes as she curled up into her chair and then attempted to brush off her embarrassment.

The Wizards of Waverly Place actress spoke a bit about her new movie Hotel Transylvania, saying she 'fell in love' with co-star Andy Samberg.

In the film Selena plays the 118-year-old daughter of Dracula who is voiced by Adam Sandler.

When Selena began to relax again evil Ellen played the second prank on the singer/actress. This time Ellen had a man dressed up as Dracula. He jumped up at Selena with his black cape before she quickly joked that she would never come back to the show.

What a big scaredy cat you are Selena. Man with a chainsaw? Yeah we would be terrified also.
