Lewis Hamilton: F1 has tried to make me boring

Lewis Hamilton thinks Formula One has tried to make him boring.

The 32-year-old star has moaned he can’t live the sort of lifestyle he craves because the sport demands that he presents a flawless image of himself.

Lewis – who has previously dated pop star Nicole Scherzinger – said: "You have to be a square and fit into a box and the shape is boring as f**k.

"Now I feel I was robbed of being able to grow naturally. I didn’t get to hang out with my friends. It was always racing, always business, always serious."

But the Formula One ace – who counts the likes of Drake and Kanye West among his closest friends – has insisted he will continue to pursue his passions away from the sport, which includes his love of making music.

Lewis explained: "I want to experience everything. If I can be in the studio with Jay-Z, with Pharrell, am I going to do it? S***, yeah."

Earlier this year, Lewis revealed he plans to make a biopic of his life.

The champion driver hopes to produce and star in the movie, as he is the best qualified person for the role.

Lewis shared: "I would probably play myself. I have not seen an actor that looks like me or that I’d particularly want to represent me."

The Brit also revealed the screenplay would focus on his rags-to-riches story, which eventually led him to become a three-time world champion.

He explained: "My story is about coming from humble beginnings. I am probably the last of a dying breed because pretty much every other driver I’m racing with has come from wealth.

"It will be really telling a family story about where we’ve come from, how we did it as a family, the sacrifices my family made and the trials and tribulations we came across along the way."

Former porn star claims to be having Drake’s child

A former porn star claims to be pregnant with Drake’s baby.

Sophie Brussaux was seen hanging out with the ‘Hotline Bling’ hitmaker at a Japanese restaurant in Amsterdam on January 24, a few days after she claims to have conceived their child, and has now hired lawyer a top New York lawyer for a paternity and child support battle as the 30-year-old singer insists the child isn’t his.

A spokesperson for Drake slammed Sophie’s "questionable background" but admitted the star would "do the right thing" if it turned out to be his baby.

The representative told TMZ: "This woman has a very questionable background. She has admitted to having multiple relationships. We understand she may have problems getting into the United States. She’s one of many women claiming he got them pregnant.

"If it is in fact Drake’s child, which he does not believe, he would do the right thing by the child."

Sophie – who is expecting a girl – claims to have text messages between her and Drake in which the ‘One Dance’ singer told her to have an abortion.

The alleged exchange starts with Drake saying: "I want you to have an abortion."

Sophie replied: "I can’t kill my baby simply to indulge you sorry."

Drake responded: "Indulge me? F**k you. You do know what you’re doing you think you’re going to get money."

The representative said he had no idea if the texts are real or out of context because they haven’t seen them.

And the spokesperson claimed the retired adult film star had sex with another "big rapper" at the same time as Drake, and added the other musician has "all but acknowledged" he is the father of the child.

Sophie’s attorney Raoul Felder, of Felder and Nottes, declined to comment.

Drake robbed by thirsty thief

Drake’s house has been robbed by a thirsty thief.

The ‘Hotline Bling’ hitmaker wasn’t home when a member of his staff found a 24-year-old woman in one of the bedrooms, wearing one of the rapper’s hoodies, at around 10.30pm on April 3.

According to TMZ, after police were called, the unnamed intruder told officers she had permission to enter, which she didn’t, and confessed to taking Pepsi, Sprite, and Fiji water.

The woman was arrested and charged with felony burglary.

It is unclear how long she had been inside the house, or how long she was in there as there were no signs of forced entry.

Meanwhile, last month a homeless janitor who stole jewellery from Drake’s tour bus was jailed for a year.

The 30-year-old rapper had his road vehicle broken into whilst he was performing at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, as part of his ‘Summer Sixteen Tour’ in September, and Travion King, 21, was arrested after he was found breaking into a woman’s dorm room at Arizona State.

He was reportedly caught with the stolen goods, which are believed to have belonged to the ‘One Dance’ hitmaker’s DJ, Future the Prince.

He will spend one year behind bars and will be on five years supervised probation after his release.

Travion listed his address as a homeless shelter in Phoenix and also stated that he works for a company that cleaning services for large facilities.

Phoenix Police previously discovered that the crime was committed by someone who knew the layout of the building, and revealed that Travion had "done contract work for the venue in the past".

Sergeant Vince Lewis said: "We’re talking about somebody who knew the layout or was able to gain access or to get back there unnoticed."

George Clooney hailed as a ‘great dancer’

George Clooney is a "great" dancer.

The 55-year-old actor displayed his fleet-footed skills in ‘Money Monster’ in 2016 and celebrity choreographer Tanisha Scott – who has previously worked with the likes of Drake, Rihanna and Beyoncé – has admitted he’s a "natural" on the dance floor.

Tanisha said: "George is so great on his feet!.

"Working with George Clooney on his ‘Money Monster’ dance scene was such an amazing moment because he’d never danced in any movie before. His timing was not quite perfect, but he’s naturally a great mover and he can mimic very well, so we worked on the timing. In the end he ended up looking really cool."

George is a huge fan of music icons Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. – and Tanisha said the actor’s dance moves were inspired by their sound.

The respected choreographer told Us Weekly: "He loves Frank Sinatra, he loves Sammy Davis Jr., and he wants to move like that and I was really able to see that in his footwork."

Tanisha said that while working with actors is markedly different to working with musical artists, George had the necessary confidence to ensure his routine was a success.

She explained: "When you’re working with an actor who is not necessarily a dancer, it’s a different process, but the more you’re confident and immerse yourself in the moves, the better it’s going to be. George is a confident guy!"

Meanwhile, Tanisha named Beyoncé, Rihanna and Drake as three of her favourite people to work with, because of their lack of inhibitions on the dance floor.

The instructor shared: "Beyoncé, Rihanna and Drake all work so hard, and they love dancehall. All three of them are very open artists: They really let themselves free and let their bodies flow. They are a pleasure to work with."

Rihanna has awkward reunion with Drake

Rihanna endured an awkward reunion with ex-boyfriend Drake at a children’s birthday party in Los Angeles on Sunday (04.09.17).

The 29-year-old beauty came face-to-face with her former flame for the first time since his brief fling with Jennifer Lopez, and Drake reportedly made a concerted effort to avoid the Bajan star at the bash.

Instead, the ‘Hotline Bling’ hitmaker – who split from Rihanna in October last year, after declaring his love for her at the MTV VMAs earlier in 2016 – focused his attention on one of his friend’s children, according to The Sun newspaper.

Drake admitted back in August that he had been "in love" with Rihanna for years.

Presenting the ‘Diamonds’ singer with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, he said: "She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old. She’s one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I’ve looked up to her, even though she’s younger than me.

"She’s a living, breathing legend in our industry, ladies and gentleman, the recipient of the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award for 2016, Rihanna."

And even since their split, Drake has claimed he has retained a lot of "love" and "respect" for Rihanna.

The 30-year-old rapper heaped praise on her during a live show in Dublin, Ireland, in February, which also happened to coincide with Rihanna’s 29th birthday.

He said on stage: "It’s somebody’s birthday today – somebody I have a lot of love for and a lot of respect for.

"So, instead of singing ‘Happy Birthday,’ though, we just going to do this in Dublin. Instead of singing ‘Happy Birthday,’ we’re going to set it off just like this…"

The Grammy award-winning rapper then launched into a performance of Rihanna’s hit single ‘Work’, which the pair collaborated on.

Jennifer Lopez’s new beau

Jennifer Lopez is reportedly dating retired baseball player Alex Rodriguez.

The ‘Ain’t Your Mama’ hitmaker and 41-year-old ex-New York Yankees shortstop and third baseman are believed to have met at one of the 47-year-old beauty’s shows in Las Vegas last month, and are said to be taking things slow and just enjoying a "good light-hearted time".

A source told E! News: "This is very, very new. It’s not serious at all. Jennifer is just dating.

"Jennifer and Alex are both not looking for a relationship, just a good light-hearted time. They are on the exact same page."

It comes after Jennifer said she isn’t bothered by age when it comes to dating following her on/off romance with Drake, 30, earlier this year.

She explained: "First of all, stop! I don’t date younger men. I don’t think men have to be younger. It’s not about that. I just meet people, and if I go out with them, I go out with them. And if I like them, I like them, and if I don’t, I don’t. It’s about the person, you know what I mean? It’s about who they are. It has nothing to do with age!

"There’s this thing, because I dated Beau [her backing dancer Casper Smart], and he was younger, and he was the first guy I ever dated who was younger than me, but then I got labelled right away. For me, it isn’t [about age]. If they’re older, they’re older. If they’re younger, they’re younger. It depends on whether or not I’m attracted to their spirit, their soul, their whatever… their energy."

When recently asked about their fling, the ‘Shades of Blue’ actress refused to divulge whether they were in a relationship.

She said: "We did a song together. We were not writing a song right at that moment. We were just hanging out. Actually he sent me a song that he wanted me to be on, and then I got on the song, and yeah, we have a song together."

Drake has ‘love and respect’ for Rihanna

Drake has a lot of "love and respect" for Rihanna.

The 30-year-old rapper split up with the ‘S&M’ hitmaker in October last year after having gone public with their relationship in the summer, but it seems the star hasn’t quite left the beauty behind him as he heaped the praise on her during a live show in Dublin, Ireland, on Monday (02.20.17), which also happened to be Rihanna’s 29th birthday.

He said on stage: "It’s somebody’s birthday today — somebody I have a lot of love for and a lot of respect for.

"So, instead of singing ‘Happy Birthday,’ though, we just going to do this in Dublin. Instead of singing ‘Happy Birthday,’ we’re going to set it off just like this…"

The Grammy award-winning rapper then launched into a performance of Rihanna’s hit single ‘Work’, which the pair collaborated on.

It isn’t the first time the ‘Hotline Bling’ hitmaker has praised the ‘Love on the Brain’ singer – whom he has enjoyed an on/off relationship with in he past – on his current ‘Boy Meets World Tour’, as during a show in London he dubbed his former flame as the "queen of everything".

He said: "She’s like the queen of everything.

"If you want your woman to feel sexy and s**t you play the Riri records."

Meanwhile, the ‘One Dance’ musician revealed at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) back in August that he had been "in love" with Rihanna for years.

Presenting the ‘Diamonds’ singer with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, he said of the brunette beauty: "She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old. She’s one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I’ve looked up to her, even though she’s younger than me. She’s a living, breathing legend in our industry, ladies and gentleman, the recipient of the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award for 2016, Rihanna."

Jennifer Lopez doesn’t rely on age for dating

Jennifer Lopez isn’t bothered by age when it comes to dating.

The ‘Ain’t Your Mama’ hitmaker has made a name for herself as being somewhat of a cougar but she’s adamant she doesn’t take notice of how long her potential partners have been walking this earth when she agrees to date someone as she relies solely on their spiritual connection and how well they get on.

Speaking on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ on Monday (02.20.17), she said: "First of all, stop! I don’t date younger men. I don’t think men have to be younger. It’s not about that. I just meet people, and if I go out with them, I go out with them. And if I like them, I like them, and if I don’t, I don’t. It’s about the person, you know what I mean? It’s about who they are. It has nothing to do with age!

For me, it isn’t [about age]. If they’re older, they’re older. If they’re younger, they’re younger. It depends on whether or not I’m attracted to their spirit, their soul, their whatever… their energy."

The 47-year-old singer was rumored to be dating rapper Drake, 30, earlier this year but, despite numerous pictures of them cuddling up to each other being posted online, she refused to divulge whether they were in a relationship.

She said: "We did a song together. We were not writing a song right at that moment. We were just hanging out. Actually he sent me a song that he wanted me to be on, and then I got on the song, and yeah, we have a song together."

Jennifer has eight-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Drake offered to help suicidal man

Drake offered to help talk a man down from a bridge in Manchester on Sunday (02.12.17)

The ‘Hotline Bling’ hitmaker asked police officers if he could try to talk to the troubled gentleman – whose identity is known – after he was spotted standing on the wrong side of the barriers, sparking fears he was planning to commit suicide, on Mancunian Way in north west England at around 5:40am.

The 30-year-old rapper offered to get involved in the situation after his tour bus carrying him and his entourage were caught up in traffic but police politely declined because they had it in hand.

Inspector Phil Spurgeon, of the City Centre Integrated Neighborhood Policing Team, told the Manchester Evening News newspaper: "One officer was approached by a male from a tour van caught up in the traffic congestion, claiming to be part of Drake’s entourage. He offered for Drake to speak to the male on the bridge, if that would help. The offer was declined with thanks."

The man was eventually talked down from the bridge and taken to hospital for assessment just before 7am before the nearby roads, which had previously been closed, were re-opened.

Drake was in the northern city for his ‘Boy Meets World’ tour and played his tracks to a packed out crowd on February 11 and 12 at the Manchester Arena before he made his way down to London yesterday morning so that he’s ready for his six dates at The O2 arena in London.

As well as gallivanting around Europe for is tour, Drake has also had other things on his mind as it’s believe him and his rumored girlfriend Jennifer Lopez have recently split up.

A source said recently: "She likes Drake. They’re just busy, so it has fizzled. She’s a mom with an insanely busy career. He’s touring in Europe. Who knows what will happen in the future when they’re more able to be in the same place."

Jennifer Lopez has so much love for Drake

Jennifer Lopez has "so much love" for Drake.

The ‘On the Floor’ singer recently enjoyed a brief romance with the ‘Hotline Bling’ hitmaker and though they have now reportedly gone their separate ways, she has nothing but good things to say about the Canadian rapper.

Speaking to Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (02.12.17), she said: "Of course. I love Drake. He’s so brilliant, talented, amazing.

"We made a song together. We hung out. We have a great time. He’s amazing. I have so much love for that boy."

It was previously claimed things had "fizzled out" between Jennifer – who has eight-year-old twins, Max and Emme, from her marriage to Marc Anthony – and Drake because of their busy schedules, but insiders wouldn’t rule out a romantic reunion in the future.

A source said: "She likes Drake. They’re just busy, so it has fizzled.

"She’s a mom with an insanely busy career. He’s touring in Europe. Who knows what will happen in the future when they’re more able to be in the same place."

It is thought the 47-year-old singer was alluding to the couple’s split when she posted a cryptic Instagram quote earlier this month.

She wrote: "Timing is everything. If it’s meant to happen, it will, and for the right reasons."

The pair are said to have become close whilst working on music together late last year.

A source said at the time: "They do work on music together [but are] clearly enjoying each other on another level too. Jen loves the attention and she seems very happy to be spending time with him. Drake is very charming. He treats Jen with lots of respect. She seems very smitten."
