Selena Gomez's teen mom fears
Taylor Kinney is a 'lucky guy' to be with Lady Gaga
Taylor Kinney has revealed he fell in love with Lady Gaga because she reminds him of his mother and he admits he feels like a ''lucky guy'' to have her in his life.
Taylor Kinney fell in love with Lady Gaga because she reminds him of his mother.
The 'Chicago Fire' actor was instantly attracted to the eccentric pop superstar - who he met on the set of her video 'You and I' in July 2011 - because he likes strong women like his mum Pam, a dental hygienist who raised him and his three brothers on her own in Pennsylvania.
Taylor said: ''I look up to a strong woman, maybe that's why I fell for Gaga. She works incredibly hard and is very strong and inspirational like my mom, with a great work ethic.''
The 31-year-old hunk has been in a relationship with Gaga, 26, since September 2011 and he admits he has started to think about having children with the 'Born This Way' singer and he feels a ''lucky guy'' to have met her.
He is quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying: ''I do want to give mom grandchildren, of course. I think I'd be a good dad, it would be a pleasure. I'd love it - and I'm in my 30s now.
''My mom wants me to get married, and have children of course. She's met Gaga, we've been dating a while, we're in a committed relationship and I'm really happy in my relationship. I'm a very lucky guy.
''As far as having more of a domestic life and settling down into my relationship we have to see what happens.''
Taylor - who 'marries' Gaga at the conclusion of the 'You and I' promo - insists there are difficulties to overcome dating a global music icon, with the main one being having to maintain a long-distance relationship when she is on tour.
The actor - who is based in Chicago for work - admitted: ''I use all the money I make on flights to see the people I love.
''If I spent it on fancy cars, homes and material stuff I wouldn't be able to do that. I have the freedom to see the people I care about - my girlfriend and my family. Gaga and I rely on space ships, very fast transport, to see each other.''

John C. Reilly thought animation was 'boring'
John C. Reilly used to think animation was like a ''boring day at work'' until he voiced the titular character in his latest movie 'Wreck-It Ralph'.
John C. Reilly used to think animation was like a ''boring day at work'' until he recorded 'Wreck-It Ralph'.
The 'Step Brothers' star has had his opinion changed about the genre since voicing the titular character in the Rich Moore-directed motion picture, and while he has turned down a number of animation projects over the years, he was attracted to the Disney film because of the ''pedigree of the studio''.
He said: ''It took me a little while to sign on. I wanted to make sure I was going to really be able to believe in the project, and be able to really put my heart into it, instead of just plugging in like a hired hand. I've been offered a lot of animation in the past and it just seemed really kind of like a boring day at work, actually.
''You go in, and a lot of times they don't even give you the whole script. 'Yeah, just read this page. Don't worry.' 'Faster, slower, OK, now a funny one.' And then you go home and all the creative part is done without you there. So I passed on a lot of stuff over the years.
''It was really just the chance to work on a Disney film. Let's face it, it's not every day that someone comes up to me saying, 'Oh, do you want to play the lead in a Disney animated film?' Just the pedigree of the studio and the director's work was enough to get me interested.''
While he hasn't done many animation movies in the past, John revealed he once voiced a whole film with Jack Black which has never been released due to financial issues.
He added to Mania.com: ''Jack Black and I once recorded a whole animated movie on spec. They were just trying to get the money together, and all the characters were designed and everything, and the script was written, and then it went nowhere. But it's still recorded out there somewhere.''

Francis Lawrence to direct The Hunger Games: Mockingjay
Francis Lawrence is to direct The Hunger Games: Mockingjay', which will be split into two instalments.
Francis Lawrence is to direct the final instalments of 'The Hunger Games' movies.
The filmmaker - who is already helming the second motion picture in the series, 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' - will carry on his work to direct the third and final part of the popular trilogy entitled 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay', and Lionsgate have decided to split the big screen adaptation of Suzanne Collins' novel into two parts.
'Big' director Gary Ross directed the first film, 'The Hunger Games', and was set to helm the sequel as well, however he walked away from the role as he believed he wouldn't have enough time to complete production ready for its November 2013 release.
Filming of 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' is currently taking place and it is expected Francis will move immediately on to parts one and two of 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay'.
Last month, it was revealed 'Game Change' director Danny Strong has been hired to write the final scripts, after competing against a host of other writers, including 'Cabin in the Woods' scribe Drew Goddard, to win the job.
The first film in the series - which stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Josh Hutcherson and Woody Harrelson - grossed $685 million worldwide at the box office after its release earlier this year.
Part one of 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay' is due out on November 21, 2014 and Part two is set for November 20, 2015.

Miranda Lambert And Blake Shelton Sweep Cma Awards
Country couple Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton turned the 2012 Country Music Association Awards into a family affair on Thursday (01Nov12) after landing a total of four trophies - including a joint win for Song of the Year.
The singers, who married in May last year (11), shared the prize for their powerful duet Over You and moved the star-studded audience at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee with their emotional acceptance speech.

Shelton also beat out ceremony co-host Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean and Kenny Chesney to land the coveted Entertainer of the Year honour, as well as Male Vocalist of the Year, while Lambert picked up the female equivalent at the 46th annual prizegiving.
The evening kicked off with a rousing opening number by Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and Eric Church, and featured performances by Lambert, Kelly Clarkson and Vince Gill, the Zac Brown Band and Band Perry.
The performance highlight came as Paisley sang Southern Comfort Zone backed by a gospel choir - a tribute to the victims of superstorm Sandy.
Other big winners included Willie Nelson, who was handed a lifetime achievement honour, Little Big Town (Vocal Group of the Year) and Eric Church, who claimed the Album of the Year prize for Chief.

Robbie Williams: I tried heroin
Robbie Williams has admitted he once took heroin and will always be tempted to take drugs.
Robbie Williams once tried heroin.
The 'Candy' hitmaker - who has had several stints in rehab to combat drug and alcohol addiction - admits there is a part of him that is ''mad for'' dangerous narcotics and he'll never get over his urges completely.
He said: ''Everything I like is addictive, destructive, or corrosive. Addiction to danger is no stranger to me, it's fashion.
''There's always going to be a part of me that wants to exist in a psychedelic realm. I only did heroin once and never got addicted but there is still a lot of me that is mad for all that.''
While Robbie is still tempted to take drugs, he knows he has to stay away from cocaine because it affects him so badly.
He explained in an interview with The Sun newspaper: ''I can't do coke as my body convulses and it's not pretty. My arm goes numb and my heart is about to give in.''
Though Robbie, 38, is delighted to be a father after wife Ayda Field gave birth to their daughter Theodora 'Teddy' Rose in September, he admits he considered walking out on his marriage because he was so worried about being a parent.
He said: ''When Ayda was first pregnant we'd have a week of me saying, 'I didn't want this. You f***ing wanted this.' But that was just being scared.
''There have been times when I've wanted to run off. I will admit that. I start to think, 'I'm not old enough for this and I'm still a kid myself' but I work it out.''
Halle Berry prays for more children
Halle Berry has revealed she prays for more children and is glad she waited until her forties to become a mother
Halle Berry is praying for more children.
The 'Cloud Atlas' star - who has put her wedding plans with French actor Olivier Martinez on hold until her custody battle with Gabriel Aubry is resolved - has revealed she prays with her four-year-old daughter Nahla every night for another baby.
She told People.com: ''We pray to God, so sweet. She says, 'God, please bring me a bunk bed and a baby sister.' And I say, 'I can do one of those things, I know for sure. The other one, we've got to keep praying on.' What do you say to her when she wants that and can't understand why God's taken so long?''
The 46-year-old actress also revealed she is glad she waited until her forties to become a mother.
She said: ''I'm a much better mother at 46 - or 41, when I had her - than if I were like 21 or 25. I mean I was just a little baby just trying to figure it out - trying to figure out who I was, let alone having the responsibility of trying to help another little soul develop and grow. I'm so glad I waited.''
Halle also hinted at the reasons she is eager to protect her daughter's privacy and relocate to France with her against Gabriel's wishes.
She said: ''She's just a little kid, and I just want her to be a little kid, and have normalcy and be like everybody else. As her mom, that's my job -- to provide her with that, you know? It's frustrating when you feel like you can't.''
When she finally does settle down and wed Olivier, Halle - who has been divorced twice, from David Justice and Eric Benét - wants it to be an intimate affair.
She recently said: ''I do know it will be very small. I haven't been to many weddings, but I went to one this weekend with 250 guests. I thought, 'Wow - so this is a wedding, huh?' I've never had that, nor have I wanted that.
''I wasn't even trying to catch the bouquet.''
Britney Spears Case Thrown Out By Judge
Scotty Mccreery Hounded By Classmates For Autographs
Country star-turned-college student Scotty Mccreery is constantly hounded by classmates for his autograph.
The former American Idol winner enrolled as a freshman at North Carolina State University this autumn (12) and MCCreery insists he hasn't had any trouble balancing his schoolwork with his career.
He tells TasteOfCountry.com, "I'm enjoying it. For me, my number one priority always has to be the music, and I'm going to work school around my music - not music around my school...
"So far, it's not been that difficult... I've just had to have better time management on the road. Instead of sitting down for an hour playing Xbox (video games), I have to sit down and study or write a paper. That just comes with growing up and maturing. As long as I can do that, I think this whole college thing is going to be easy. If I just wait until 5am when something's due in the morning, then that might kill me, but we'll see."
The Trouble With Girls hitmaker admits his only difficulty is trying to dodge requests for his autograph on campus.
He adds, "I've had classmates ask (for autographs), but at school I try and stay away from that. Not so much because I don't want to - I mean, I'd love to sit there and sign for everybody, but when I'm at school, I'm a student, and I don't want to take away from anybody else's education, and I don't want to take away from mine. I'm not going there to be Scotty MCCreery the celebrity in my math class. I'm going there to actually learn the course and get a degree. So they've asked, and I respect that, but for the most part I try and stay away from that at college."

George Lucas Told Carrie Fisher And Hammill About Star Wars Plans
Star Wars castmates Mark Hammill and Carrie Fisher were among the elite who knew of George Lucas' plans to launch another three movies, but the filmmaker stopped short of telling them they would be made by Disney.
Hammill admits he was surprised by the big industry news that Lucas had sold his film empire Lucasfilm to Disney executives - because he thought the movie mogul would want to oversee any future Star Wars projects.
Under the new $4 billion deal, Lucas will be a consultant on the new movies.
Hammill tells Ew.com that he and Fisher were given a heads up about Lucas' plans for the Star Wars franchise back in August (12).
He recalls, "l thought he was going to talk about either his retirement or the Star Wars Tv series that I've heard about... or the 3D releases.
"So when he said, 'We decided we're going to do Episodes Vii, ViiI, and Ix,' I was just gobsmacked. (I said), 'What? Are you nuts?' I can see both sides of it. Because, in a way, there was a beginning, a middle, and an end and we all lived happily ever after and that's the way it should be... but on the other hand, there's this ravenous desire on the part of the true believers to have more and more and more material.
"It's one of those things: people either just don't care for it or are passionate about it. I guess that defines what cult movies are all about. We'll see."
Hammill admits it was good to see his friend Lucas in "a really good place" when they spoke - and now he knows why the filmmaker was so happy; he was about to become a very rich man.
Ne-Yo not a perfect gentleman
Ne-Yo sings about the ''imperfection of perfection'' on new track 'The Cracks in Mr Perfect' from his fifth album, 'R.E.D'.
Ne-Yo sings about the ''imperfection of perfection'' on new album 'R.E.D.'
The US artist has a new song, 'The Cracks in Mr Perfect', which explains how everybody, including seemingly flawless stars, have their weaknesses.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: ''I'm a gentleman, but I'm a human being first, and a human being is not always polished and pretty.
'''The Cracks in Mr Perfect' speaks on the perfection of imperfection. Coming into the game, I didn't realise the perception of the artist as this perfect being.''
Ne-Yo, 30, almost called his album after the song, but was cautious of sounding like he was complaining about the privileged position he is in.
He said: ''It just seemed like an excuse to complain, I realise I have nothing to complain about.''
The singer and songwriter - who has previously worked with Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige and Beyonce Knowles - credits his musical abilities to his mother, who encouraged him to express himself when he was younger.
He added: ''My mum saw I was a pent up kid. So she gave me a pen and said, 'Write it all down'.''
'R.E.D.' is released on Monday (05.11.12).
Jodie Foster to receive lifetime achievement award at Golden Globes
Jodie Foster is to be presented with the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her contribution to cinema at the 70th annual Golden Globes next year.
Jodie Foster is to receive a lifetime achievement award at the 2013 Golden Globes.
The 49-year-old star has been chosen to get the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 70th annual ceremony for her work as an actress, director and producer.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) - which organises the annual prize-giving ceremony - picked Foster to receive the accolade because she is ''is a multifaceted woman that has achieved immeasurable amounts of success and will continue to do so in her career''.
HFPA president Aida Takla-O'Reilly said in a statement: ''Her ambition, exuberance and grace have helped pave the way for budding artists in this business. She's truly one of a kind.''
The announcement was made on Thursday morning (01.11.10) by 'Twilight' actress Kristen Stewart and 'The Mentalist' star Simon Baker at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
The Cecil B. DeMille Award is chosen by the board of directors for the Foreign Press Association - which includes 90 reporters who cover Hollywood for overseas outlets.
Previous recipients of the prestigious accolade include Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Barbra Streisand.
Foster began her career at the age of three appearing in adverts and she made her big screen debut at the age of 13 in 'Taxi Driver', in which she played the controversial character Iris, a pre-teen prostitute.
She has gone on to star in over 40 films and won her two Best Actress Academy Awards for her performances as a rape victim in 'The Accused' and as FBI Agent Clarice Starling in 'The Silence of the Lambs'.
The 2013 Golden Globes will take place on January 13, 2013, and will be hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
Alt-J win Mercury Prize
Alt-J were named the winners of the 2012 Barclaycard Mercury Prize last night (01.11.12).
Indie rock band Alt-J have won the Barclaycard Mercury Prize.
The group took home the prestigious accolade on Thursday night (01.11.2012) for their debut album 'An Awesome Wave' and thanked their parents for encouraging them to pursue a music career.
As they accepted the prize on stage, the band said: ''We might just thank everyone in team Alt-J who has ever made a difference to us. And our parents ... thanks for not making us get jobs!''
The band - Joe Newman, Gwil Sainsbury, Thom Green and Gus Unger-Hamilton - met at the University of Leeds in 2007 before signing a record deal in 2011.
Keyboard player Gus admitted the £20,000 prize money the winners receive wouldn't make a dent in their student debts.
He said: ''The £20,000 prize won't even pay off one of our student loans - but we might take our parents for dinner.''
Alt-J beat 11 other nominees, including Plan B, The Maccabees, Richard Hawley and Django Django, to take the award - which recognises the best UK or Irish album of the last 12 months.
The ceremony - which was presented by Lauren Laverne who has taken over hosting duties from long-time presenter Jools Holland - took place at the Roundhouse in Camden, London, and featured performances from all 12 nominated acts.
Plan B opened proceedings with the title track from his nominated album 'Ill Manors' - the soundtrack to the film of the same name which he wrote, directed and starred in.
Other notable performances came from Lianne La Havas and The Maccabees who closed the show with a rendition of 'Pelican'.
