Irina Shayk splits from Cristiano Ronaldo

Irina Shayk has reportedly split from Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 29-year-old model has sparked rumors she recently ended her relationship with the soccer star, 29, after three years of dating after suddenly unfollowing him on Twitter.

The brunette beauty also failed to support the Real Madrid player when he scooped the prestigious Ballon d’Or winner for the third time during a glitzy ceremony in Zurich on Monday night (01.12.15) and he did not mention the Russian model in his acceptance speech.

But a spokesperson for Irina claims the event merely ”didn’t fit in with her schedule.”

Her New York-based PR told Goal.com: ”[The Ballon d’Or] didn’t fit in with her schedule – it was because of work commitments. We have no further comment to make.”

However, the aspiring actress has been posting a number of pictures on her social media profiles from the beach in recent days after jetting off on holiday to celebrate her birthday on January 6.

The former Victoria’s Secret model first hinted she was newly single when she posted a photograph of herself cuddling a black dog on Facebook on December 3, with the caption: ”Found my new love.”

Jennifer Lawrence says she’s ‘miserable’

Jennifer Lawrence isn’t enjoying her time off.

The ‘Serena’ star, who recently rekindled her relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, is currently taking a well-earned break from Hollywood, but admits she is ”miserable.”

Asked by Eddie Redmayne if she is being ”a lady of leisure,” the Oscar winner said: ”I am and I’m miserable. I was so excited to get time off, and now I don’t know what to do with myself.”

When the British star admitted he feels he has to make things up to justify taking a break, Jennifer responded: ”Yeah. I’m like, ‘I paint–I’m a painter!”

The 24-year-old beauty is also upset that she has almost completed filming the final film in the ‘Hunger Games’ series.

Asked about the upcoming movie by Eddie while interviewing him for Interview magazine, she said: ”I’ve got, like, one more thing to shoot for ‘Hunger Games’. We just have one scene to do for the end. I’m not happy about it at all.

”I would totally do [another movie].”

Meanwhile, Jennifer felt like she was ”going to cry” after the 33-year-old actor confessed he’s ”been a closet lover of faux-reality TV since ‘The Hills.’ ”

She said: ”I feel like I’m going to cry. We’re making a breakthrough. I went to Pump the other night to meet [restaurateur and ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ star] Lisa Vanderpump. I had her sign a bottle of vodka, and when she gave it to my friend who was with me at the Oscars, my friend said, ‘Jennifer, this is so much better than the Oscars!’ ”

Angelina Jolie ‘hurt’ by Golden Globes snub

Angelina Jolie felt ”hurt” by Golden Globes snub.

The 39-year-old actress was feeling ”upset” on Sunday evening (11.01.15) as she missed the prestigious awards ceremony in Los Angeles, still reeling over ‘Unbroken’s exclusion from the extensive list of nominations.

A source revealed: ”Angelina’s hurt. She’s been upset that the film was overlooked.”

The film – directed by the former actress – tells the story of Olympic athlete Louis ”Louie” Zamperini who was taken prisoner in Japan during World War II, and follows his struggle to endure the difficult conditions.

A member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association revealed the movie would have made the shortlist in previous years due to ”star power alone” but added the film wasn’t quite good enough to warrant a nomination this time.

The source told the New York Post’s Page Six column: ”A few years ago, she would have been in.”

Despite being ignored by the awards – which crowned ‘Boyhood’ as Best Motion Picture (Drama) – the star is still hoping to receive praise at the Oscars, and was pleased to see the film’s protagonist, Jack O’Connell nominated for the Bafta Rising Star award.

The young actor – who is up against the likes of Margot Robbie and Shailene Woodley – recently revealed he is keen to bring the award ”home” to the UK.

He said: ”It’ll be a good night out, one way or the other, but I really want it. I want to really bring it home for us. Queen and country, and all of that.”

Harry Styles in ‘talks’ to star in movies

Harry Styles is in ”talks” to star in a movie.

The One Direction singer has already met up with legendary film producer, Harvey Weinstein, to discuss appearing in a Hollywood blockbuster.

The 62-year-old film studio executive said: ”There’s no question he will enter the movie business. I get from him that he wants to. When you meet him, he’s super-charismatic.

”He came to our Oscars party last year and then I went out to lunch with him. I’ve met him two or three times and he was very interested and charming. I think the guy is a movie star.”

The ‘Steal My Girl’ hitmaker has already been offered a role by Harvey, who insists he’s got the perfect part for the 20-year-old singer.

Harry, though, had to turn it down because of his world tour commitments with his bandmates: Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik.

Harvey shared to The Sun newspaper: ”You know he’s a dashing rogue – a fun-loving, spirited kind of actor that used to be in England all the time. Like David Niven or Douglas Fairbanks, he’s got that vibe, he really does.

”And he doesn’t even have to audition for me. We offered him a part and he couldn’t do the movie because he had the tour. The amount of money their tour did is crazy, so he’s got obligations.”

Katy Perry ‘to blast Taylor Swift at Super Bowl’

Katy Perry plans to take aim at Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl with her new song ‘She’s So Creepy’.

The 30-year-old star intends to debut the song during her eagerly-awaited half-time show and is thought to be a retaliation to Taylor’s ‘Bad Blood’, which appears on her album ‘1989’ and exposes the details of their feud, according to The Sun newspaper.

Taylor has never admitted her song is about Katy, but she’s said of the unidentified rival: ”We’re straight up enemies. And it wasn’t even about a guy!

”It had to do with business. She tried to hire a bunch of people out under me.”

Shortly after those remarks, Katy took to Twitter, referencing the Lindsay Lohan film ‘Mean Girls’ and writing: ”Watch out for the Regina George in sheep’s clothing.”

Although Taylor insists their row is not over a man, the pair have both dated musician John Mayer, 37, in the past.

And over the weekend, Katy and John were spotted enjoying a dinner date at a friend’s house, after which he is said to have spent the night at Katy’s home.

The news has prompted speculation they have rekindled their romance.

Nicole Kidman has an ”easy” life.

The 47-year-old actress is very happy with husband Keith Urban and their daughters Sunday, six, and four-year-old Faith and admits she didn’t realize how to achieve domestic bliss until she got there.

Nicole – who also has adopted kids Isabella, 22, and Connor, 19, with ex-husband Tom Cruise – said: ”We have a very easy, warm, peaceful life.

”I think that’s something that I always wanted and I was heading towards and I didn’t know how to find it — and I found it now. I laugh a lot more now, I’m happier.”

Nicole and Keith refuse to pose for pictures with fans when they are out as a family because their children don’t understand why they are being approached.

The actress told ‘Today Show’ host Matt Lauer: ”Our kids don’t understand what we do, so for them, it’s just, ‘Why is this stranger taking a photo of you?’ And it’s very discombobulating for them.”

Despite her years of Hollywood success, the ‘Paddington’ star is still stunned by how far she has come since she was a child dreaming of being an actress.

She said: ”It’s been an extraordinary journey, my life, from a little girl who grew up in Sydney and sort of watched the Academy Awards on TV when I was just seven years old –to have actually come that whole distance is extraordinary.”

Cameron Diaz ”really wants” a baby.

The 42-year-old actress is said to have informed her new husband Benji Madden – who she tied the knot with on Monday (05.01.15) at her home in Beverly Hills, California – that she is keen to start a family so he thought it best to get married to the blonde beauty before they start having kids.

The 35-year-old rocker – who previously dated Paris Hilton and Sophie Monk – also recently hinted he is keen to start a family by admitting kids are ”what every man wants, whether they admit it or not”.

Last year, Cameron – who has dated several hunks in the past including Jared Leto, Justin Timberlake and Matt Dillon – admitted when she decides she wants kids she will get them whether that means adopting or having them with a partner.

She said: ”If I wanted kids, at any point in life, I would have them. But I’m certain that if at any point I wanted a child, that child would find its way into my life, whether through adoption, or through being in a relationship with somebody who has a child.

”I can’t see the future, but one thing I do know is that I’m not childless. I have a ton of children in my life. I can have a kid any second, if I want. All my friends would be like, ‘Sure, come and get them.’ ”

Joe Cocker has died

Joe Cocker has died.

The legendary singer-songwriter, best known for his cover version of the Beatles’ hit ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’, which became the theme song for ‘The Wonder Years,’ has passed away aged 70 at his home in Colorado after battling lung cancer.

The ‘You Are So Beautiful’ hitmaker’s agent Barrie Marshall confirmed the news of his death tonight (12.22.14) and praised him for being ”simply unique.”

In a statement to BBC News, he added: ”It will be impossible to fill the space he leaves in our hearts. He was without the doubt the greatest rock/soul voice ever to come out of Britain- and remained the same man throughout his life.

”Hugely talented, a true star, but a kind and humble man who loved to perform. Anyone who ever saw him live will never forget him.”

Cocker had been battling lung disease for some time, according to the Yorkshire Post.

The Sheffield-born star, who was one of only a few artists that played at the original Woodstock festival in 1969 and the one in 1994, began his career as a pub singer before he was propelled to stardom when his version of ‘With A Little Help from My Friends’ reached number one in the UK in 1968.

He received several prestigious awards during his career, including a Grammy in 1983 and an Oscar for Best Original Song for his duet with Jennifer Warnes, ‘Up Where We Belong’.

The singer also received an OBE at Buckingham Palace for his services to music in 2007.

Billy Joel stated that Cocker ”was not very well right now” while performing at Madison Square Garden last September, and asked that he be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
