Tom Brady would no longer be a heartthrob

Tom Brady, one of the world’s most eligible bachelors, has reportedly set his sights on another supermodel, Russian Irina Shayk.

According to several media reports, Irina Shayk seems to have won the race for Tom Brady, the retired NFL quarterback and future Hall of Famer.

Irina Chaïkhlislamova, known as Irina Shayk, is one of the world’s most popular models. The 37-year-old Iemanjelinsk-born beauty and the 45-year-old sportsman reportedly met for the first time in Sardinia at the wedding of billionaire Joe Nahmad and model Madison Headrick.

The New York Post claims that Brady was turning many heads at the event but that the Russian managed to catch his eye.

“All of Madison’s friends are gorgeous models, and they all hit on Tom, including Irina, but it looks like she’s the one who scored a touchdown,” said a tipster for the paper.

According to the same daily, Irina Shayk spent last weekend with Tom Brady in Los Angeles.

The couple were photographed on several occasions in Brady’s Rolls-Royce, or walking down the street, while the seven-time Super Bowl champion picked Shayk up from the Bel-Air Hotel on Friday and took her home.

Shayk reportedly left Brady’s house around 9:30 a.m. the following day, only to return later.

Tom Brady’s relationship saga thus appears to be over. Since last October, when he divorced his ex-wife after 13 years of marriage, supermodel Gisele Bündchen the former NFL star, has been at the center of numerous rumours.

The ex-footballer was recently linked to Kim Kardashian after the two bachelors were seen at a 4th of July white party in the Hamptons. But it was nothing of the sort.

Irina Shayk, for her part, has quite a roster. The supermodel has dated millionaire Italian entrepreneur Valerio Morabito, Linkin Park drummer Rob Bourdon, Brazilian model Arthur Sales, Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, actor Bradley Cooper and singer Kanye West.

Gillian Anderson wants to meet man who’ll ask her out

Gillian Anderson wants to meet a man who is ”brave” enough to ask her on a date.

The 46-year-old actress is currently single and hasn’t been in a committed relationship for some time, and although she is perfectly content to be on her own she is open to having a man in her life again.

However, Gillian – who has three children, 20-year-old Piper, from her marriage to Clyde Klotz, and Oscar, eight, and Felix, six, with her ex-partner Mark Griffiths – says no guy ever seems to have the courage to ask her out and on many occasions she’s had to take the lead.

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph newspaper, she revealed: ”I’m so lucky to have such great work. I’ve got a fantastic life, I have a wonderful relationship with my kids, and there’s nothing lacking, but I’m leaning towards the idea that it’s time for somebody to be brave enough to ask me out.

”I’ve asked out guys in the past. I remember being in the cinema in the States and I made eye contact with a man going in. I noticed we laughed at same points and seemed to respond in the same way to the same moments. We were both with friends, but he caught up with me as we were filing out. Halfway, I stopped and thought ‘What am I doing?’ So I rushed back down the street, went up to him and said ‘Would you like a coffee sometime?’ We dated for six months.”

‘The Fall’ star has numerous rules when it comes to what type of guys she will date and married men and toy boys are definitely off the agenda.

Gillian – who is set to reprise her most famous role as FBI agent Dana Scully in new episodes of ‘The X-Files’ – hopes the next romance she does embark on will be ‘The One’.

She explained: ”To me, a married man is simply a no go. I’m not interested in younger men either. I suppose I might ask a man out, but I believe at this stage of my life, it’s better not to manipulate the situation. If it happens, it happens. What I am sure about is that I want my next relationship to be ‘The One’.”

Rihanna is dating Leonardo DiCaprio’s friend

Rihanna is reportedly dating Leonardo DiCaprio’s friend Richie Akiva.

The R&B superstar and Hollywood heartthrob have been rumored to have been romancing each other since New Year’s Eve (31.12.14) which they celebrated in St. Barths and they have been spotted together on numerous occasions at various night spots.

However, it has now been claimed the reason for their numerous liaisons is that Rihanna is actually dating club mogul Richie Akiva, who has been pals with DiCaprio for years, and the two stars are just friends.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper’s Confidenti@l column: ”Richie was with Rihanna in St. Barth’s – that’s where it started. They’ve been hanging out together a lot.”

During the January break to St. Barths, DiCaprio is said to have gone off to enjoy his vacation and left Rihanna and Richie spend time with just each other.

Rihanna has spent most of New York Fashion week hanging out at Richie’s Up & Down club and during a party hosted by the ‘FourFiveSeconds’ hitmaker’s ex-boyfriend Drake, Richie gave her a shout out and got the DJ to dedicate a track to her.

A club goer on the night said: ”She’s not showing up with Leo, she’s showing up with Richie. I’ve been at 25 to 30 clubs where Rihanna was hanging out. If anyone else had done that, she would’ve been p***ed.”

Even though Rihanna was seen leaving Up & Down on Valentine’s Day (02.14.15) within minutes of DiCaprio she had been partying with Richie to celebrate the romantic night.

Leonardo DiCaprio won’t have a joint birthday party with Kate Winslet

Leonardo DiCaprio refuses to have a joint 40th birthday party with Kate Winslet.

The ‘Divergent’ star – who will celebrate the milestone in October 2015 – has been close friends with the actor for almost 20 years and he even walked her down the aisle during her secret wedding to Ned Rocknroll in 2012, but she admits he likes to be the centre of attention so will host his own bash when he turns 40 next month.

She told the November issue of Marie Claire magazine: ”He’s 40 this year and I’m 40 next – that’s weird. Isn’t that weird?

”He wouldn’t have a joint party with me, he really wouldn’t. Definitely not. He likes to have his moments… but also I don’t think I’d want to have a joint party with him, more to the b**ody point!”

But Kate insists they are still best friends and formed a close bond because they ”needed each other” when they first found fame after co-starring in ‘Titanic’ in 1997.

She said: ”I think the reason that friendship works is because there was never any romantic thing.

”He always saw me as one of the boys; I’ve never really been a girly-girl.

”We needed each other to lean on because we were very young and working all kinds of crazy bl**dy hours and it was a shock to the system.”

Nicole Scherzinger was nervous meeting Pope

Nicole Scherzinger was ”nervous” when she met Pope Francis.

The ‘Your Love’ singer went on a romantic trip to Italy with boyfriend Lewis Hamilton recently and was lucky enough to meet with the head of the Catholic church in the Vatican City but admits she found it difficult to work out what he was saying.

She told the new issue of HELLO! Magazine: ”That was emotional for me because my grandfather is a priest. And even though I had no idea what he was saying, it was beautiful. It was like a song.

”I think Pope Francis is a pretty special Pope. To have been able to just meet him? Wow. I got so nervous.”

The 35-year-old beauty, who reconciled with racing driver Lewis following a split in July, has had an on/off relationship with the hunk for six years but insists she’s now in a great place now.

She said: ”What I’m going through right now is about, ‘Don’t hold back anything and don’t let anybody steal your happiness. Don’t jeopardize or compromise yourself. Just jump and go for it’.”

Meanwhile, the star revealed she also writes life affirmations for herself and puts them around her home.

She said: ”I forget everything, [so] I write down little mantras to myself.

”And I don’t know if it’s because of the Pope, but I’m finding that I’m gravitating more towards peace.”

Sean Penn and Charlize spark romance rumors

Sean Penn and Charlize Theron have sparked romance rumors after being spotted at her home following their vacation.

The 53-year-old actor and the 38-year-old beauty were seen leaving her Hollywood property yesterday morning (02.01.14) in separate cars shortly after returning from Hawaii, where they holidayed at Sean’s abode.

The pair were spotted soaking up the sun in their bathing suits over the new year as they spent time relaxing on a beach in Hawaii near the ‘Gangster Squad’ star’s home.

Speaking to the New York Daily News, an eye-witness described them as looking ”very close and comfortable together”.

Sean – who was previously married to Madonna and has dated several stars including Scarlett Johansson – and Charlize have known each other for years but their latest jaunt has fuelled recent speculation they could be dating.

Charlize has two-year-old son Jackson – who she adopted in 2012 – but there was no sign of him as she holidayed with Sean to see in the new year.

The dazzling blonde is said to be keen to adopt another little one this year so Jackson can have a sibling to play with.

A source recently said: ”Charlize admits it’s a lot to go through, but she definitely wants Jackson to have a little brother. She’s starting the process all over again right after the new year. She wants Jackson to have a sibling who isn’t four or five years younger than him – she wants to raise them together.”

Kendall Jenner denies dating Harry Styles

Kendall Jenner has denied she is dating Harry Styles.

The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star has broken her silence on her close relationship with the ‘Story Of My Life’ singer by insisting they are ”cool” and just friends after they were spotting leaving a Los Angeles restaurant following a cosy dinner date last week.

The 18-year-old beauty – who is the younger sister of Kim Kardashian – shut down rumours of a romance when she attended the American Music Awards on Sunday night (24.11.13), where Harry had also been performing with One Direction.

She told E! News: ”[There is] No story. We’re friends. He’s cool, yeah, he’s cool.”

Kendall split from her high-school boyfriend Julian Brooks earlier this year, before hitting-out at reports she was dating 21-year-old rapper Young Jinsu last month – but she has insisted it’s difficult to have male friends.

She added: ”You go out with one person, you’re automatically dating them.”

Kendall’s 16-year-old sister Kylie – who is also speculated to be dating Jaden Smith – was quick to defend her sibling, as she explained: ”It’s very hard to have friends of the opposite sex”

The comments come after Harry – who split with Taylor Swift in January before being linked to Cara Delevingne – insisted he wasn’t dating the reality star.

Asked by Piers Morgan on 1D Live – the band’s seven-hour live streaming event on Saturday (23.11.13) he explained: ”We went out for dinner, but no, I guess. I don’t know.”
