“They went to all the different floors; they looked at Van Gogh. Derek was very low-key and was wearing a black-and-gray sweater. Minka looked very pretty. She was wearing white jeans, a brown jacket and boots.

“The funniest part was seeing tourists walk by wearing New York Yankees hats on,.

“And some people didn’t even notice them!”

Jeff Bridges suffers from 'reverse vanity'

Jeff Bridges suffers from “reverse vanity”.

The Oscar-winning actor believes getting older helps him feel better about his looks and he has learned to “let go” and not be concerned about age.

“As you get older, there’s maybe something like a reverse vanity, where you just let your age go and not be concerned about it,” he said.

The 62-year-old star believes working on the movie ‘Tron: Legacy’, a follow-up to 1982 film ‘Tron’, taught him how to be a leading man after years in the shadows.

“I’d never done a film before where I had to be on set all day and every day. I’ve always been the supporting actor trying to write his role bigger,” he said.

However, the film’s director Joseph Kosinski thinks Jeff is the only person who could take on the role because he “grounds” it.

“You really need an actor like Jeff. Especially in a film like this where you’re going to this other world,” he said.

“You need something that grounds it in the centre and when you see Jeff Bridges walk on screen it just pulls the movie together in the way that only a great actor can.”

“So, I think it’s just healthy to have some time off now and again, that way I have off time for me and do something fresh for interviews. “You don’t get used to talking about yourself. Well, I hope I don’t!”

The brunette beauty prefers to spend time on her Texas ranch, which she shares with around 50 animals, rather than go out because she knows people will start asking her questions.

She added: “When I relax I simply don’t do anything. I literally hang out on my land, I just walk around and hang out with my animals. We have a big ranch and I don’t do anything – it’s great. “The last thing I want to do is go out. People will be like, ‘Hey’ and then they start asking you questions and it’s like sometimes you just need to like, not talk.”

Blind gossip!

1) “This celebrity has been doing the usual rounds of talk shows to discuss the upcoming awards season and to promote a new project. Because she is married to another celebrity, talk show interviews usually include a couple of standard questions about how her husband is doing. Not any more. They are separated, and talk show producers and hosts are under strict orders not to mention his name or their marriage.Easy enough, right? Well, during a pre-interview, a pushy producer pressed their luck with the star and her publicist by saying that it would actually draw more attention to the split if the talk show host didn’t mention the spouse, and suggested a few innocuous name drops to avoid this. The furious star stood up, told her publicist “YOU deal with this sh*t!”, and stormed out of the room. The publicist dissuaded the producer, smoothed the star’s ruffled feathers, and the interview occurred without a single mention of the spouse’s name.If the celebrity couple stays separated over the next couple of months, you may notice the conspicuous absence of her husband’s name – as well as the words “marriage”, “husband”, “children”, “separation”, and “divorce” – in her interviews. Her PR people certainly don’t want rumors about her marriage to overshadow her projects or interfere with potential awards. The biggest test will come if she actually wins an award. She won’t be able to hide the separation any longer if her husband doesn’t escort her to the awards show and/or if she doesn’t thank him during her speech.” [BlindGossip]

2) “While at a charity event in the last two weeks, this C list celebrity from a celebrity food network was eating dinner with a table of other celebrities. They thought it would be an appropriate time to criticize the food and called over the waiter and demanded he bring out the head cook. When he did, the C lister berated him in front of the whole table for fifteen minutes about what he did wrong with the meal. When the chef pointed out the food was for charity, the C lister said he didn’t care and it was no excuse for serving ‘garbage.’ The entire table spent the time laughing at the poor chef who left the event in tears. Our source claims that after the chef left the table, the C list celebrity said, “Ah, I was just kidding, but thought I’d give him a hard time. It seems the guy can’t take a joke.” [BuzzFoto]

Evan Rachel Wood “exploded” when she turned 18.

The Ides of March actress who began acting when she was just four years old says her strict upbringing made her want to rebel once she hit her late teens but she is now ready to “settle down” following her period of recklessness.

“The funny thing is I was a really good kid because I was raised extremely strict and I was working a lot,” she said. “My mother wanted to be really, really careful because in this business it’s easy to go off the deep end, but I think that worked against her because when I turned 18, I had been so sheltered for so long that I just exploded.

“I know it seems like an obvious thing, but I didn’t know you had to go see the dentist. I didn’t go to the dentist for 10 years. I couldn’t make anything when I moved out. I remember learning how to boil water and splashing my face with it when it was scalding hot.”

After portraying Jen Lindley in teen drama Dawson’s Creek for five years, the My Week With Marilyn star explained she found the role “abrasive” as her alter-ego didn’t have to cope with the “struggles” in life that she did.

“I felt it really strongly at the time: this isn’t what it’s like to be a teenager, this isn’t really what it’s like to struggle. And that was abrasive to something in me, ” Michelle added.

“After that, all I wanted to do was make work that felt as though you could reach out and touch it, relate to it. I wanted to make things that looked as close to life as possible, nothing that had a gloss on it.”

“I never really had a home, a clique. I was freelance and tried to date women in every group.”

Despite being single, there are several famous women who Zac finds attractive.

“I really like Eva Mendes, I think she’s gorgeous and she’s got a great personality,” he said.

Witness Alex Thorpe told Us Weekly the pair “held hands” and during a romantic lunch at Pizzeria Trattoria Toscana in Pisa on Christmas Eve they are said to have “shared spaghetti, and he paid”.

Ashton and Lorene have been traveling around the country in a Porsche Carrera Sports 2011 and stayed in a private pad.

The Two and a Half Men star took to twitter to post a picture of the pair along with his business partner Matt Mazzant, and he wrote, “Roman holiday with homies…have an amazing new year! (sic)”

Ashton recently announced plans to spend next New Year’s Eve in Australia because he wants to have New Year’s Day first due to the time difference.

Chris Martin has sleep therapy

Chris Martin has therapy because he can’t sleep.

The Coldplay frontman who has two children Apple, seven, and five-year-old Moses with wife Gwyneth Paltrow sought professional help in order to cut down on the restless nights he frequently experiences.

Asked if it is true he sees a therapist once every time he releases an album, he said: “No, bit more than that. I have a lot of trouble sleeping. It’s to do with that and what to take and not to take.”

When he does get some sleep, Chris is plagued by nightmares, usually connected with the group’s performances.

“I’ll give you a classic dream I had last night,” he said. “We were playing on Letterman and I was in a different key to everyone else. David Letterman came on and said, ‘Can you stop? This is not very good. Can you do the other song?’ And then, we start doing the other one and my shoe falls off.

“It goes a bit surreal after that but it always starts with playing a concert and there’s some insurmountable problem. I have many more nightmares than dreams; probably nine to one. Real life is much better.”

A song once came to Chris in a dream, which he showed to David Bowie but the legendary singer told him it wasn’t very good.

“He said, ‘I’m really sorry, but it’s not your best.’ He was very kind about it,” Chris said. “I was like, ‘You know what? You’re probably right’. It might have been written by sleeping pills so I wasn’t too personally offended.”
