The Voice offers Tyler James another chance

Tyler James, who had a No16 single with Foolish in 2005, has joined hordes of other contestants in the audition process.

Show rules allow any artist without a record deal to compete, regardless of whether they’ve had one before.

Tyler remained in the limelight after losing his deal due to his friendship with the late Amy Winehouse.

A source said: “There has been some amazing talent auditioning so artists who had deals in the past must still be of a top standard to compete.”

The Voice has already been a huge hit in more than 30 countries. Jessie J, Will.i.am, The Script’s Danny O’Donoghue and Tom Jones will coach the contestants.

Daryl Hannah news: Splash star enjoys basketball game with Melanie Griffith and Brooke Shields

And she gave her facial muscles a workout with a fabulous range of expressions.

The 52-year-old actress, who was joined by Melanie Griffith and Brooke Shields, was open-mouthed in amazement during one section of the game, between the New Orleans Hornets and San Antonio Spurs in Louisiana.

She roared with laughter with Blue Lagoon star Brooke in another shot.

And Daryl and Melanie gave their necks a stretch when their attention was taken by something flying over the stadium.

Britney Spears news: 17-stone ex-husband Kevin Federline keels over on Excess Baggage

K-Fed, 33, was training with a Sydney Aussie rules football team as part of Australian hit Excess Baggage.

At first it was feared the former backing dancer was suffering a heart attack.

Paramedics gave the star oxygen before taking him to hospital, where an ECG indicated he hadn’t in fact suffered cardiac arrest.

Kevin, who was 17st at the start of the series, was kept at Sydney’s Mt Druitt hospital for further tests.

A spokesperson for Channel 9 said: “Kevin was at Doonside with the Giants, completing an AFL-related challenge.

“He did his challenge, which was running and catching the ball, then while his (in-series weight-loss partner) was taking the same challenge, he reported chest pains and a racing heart.

“Obviously on this show we have a lot of paramedics on standby and they treated him for the first signs of a minor cardiac arrest, called an ambulance and had him taken to hospital.”

Kevin split with Britney in 2006, after two years of marriage.

They have two sons together ? Sean Preston, six, and five-year-old Jayden James.

Having piled on the weight in recent years, Kevin agreed to do the show to kick-start his fitness programme.

But the incident is the second time he has needed medical help since filming started nine weeks ago.

During the first show, filmed in the tropical region of The Kimberleys, Western Australia, he collapsed and was treated for heat stress.

Coleen Rooney news: It’s Coco shops as Coleen stocks up on Chanel

The 25-year-old fashionista ensured she was up to date with her posh gear while she enjoyed some retail therapy in Manchester.

Wrapped up in a thick cape with thigh-high red leather boots, the mum of one looked well insulated from the winter chill.

She was later seen stocking up on items from an outdoor sports shop.

The nippy temperatures in Blighty are in stark contrast to the conditions Coleen has recently been working in.

The young mum was seen in a string of tiny bikinis in sun-drenched Miami last week.

She was taking part in a shoot for retailer Littlewoods ? who she struck a ?2million deal with last June.

Steven Tyler’s Star Mangled Banner news: American Idol judge slammed for screeching performance of the National Anthem at football game

But his own performance of American National Anthem has come under fire from sports fans.

The Aerosmith frontman screeched his version of The Star Spangled Banner before and American football match in Foxborough, Massachusetts yesterday.

Dressed in a sparkling New England Patriots scarf, he strained to hit the high notes with his rasping voice.

And the crowd erupted with a mixture of boos and cheers.

US sports website said the moment “will go down as one of those horrible celebrity renditions”.

AEROSMITH legend screeches his way through ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’

And Jason Whitlock, columnist for FOXsports, compared it to Janet Jackson’s infamus wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Superbowl opening.

He tweeted: “Steven Tyler far more obscene than Janet Jackson’s t***y.”

But fans defended the performance of the star ? known as the Demon of Screamin ?on the web.

One said: “It’s Steven Tyler. How else is he supposed to sing? That’s how he’s been singing for decades.”

Even so, it’s doubful he’d have got past his own Idol audition with that number.

The screeching didn’t do the home team any harm ? the New England Patriots landed a 23-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

But the local cats are still joining in the chorus.

It’s Adele of a cover

Arty Luc Bergeon, aka Zapatou, spliced together some of the best renditions of the tune to make up a new version of it.

From big name stars like John Legend to cute kids in their lounges, fans belt out the toe-tapping soul track in the clip.

Even X Factor wannabe Misha B gets a look-in, as does super cute Nicki Minaj fan Sophia Grace Brownlee.

The clever compilation has now had more than 500,000 hits on YouTube. But Zapatou still has a way to go to beat Adele’s own version, which has racked up a staggering 218million views in just over a year.

Vanessa Paradis news: Johnny Depp’s partner answers split rumours with riddle about peas

The Joe Le Taxi singer and Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny, 48, are said to have been apart for months.

Arriving alone to the premiere of her new film Cafe de Flore, Vanessa, 39, said: “When I eat three peas, I’m pregnant. When I visit a city, I’m buying a house. In the winter I separate, in the summer I marry.

“It’s been 15 years since I’ve been getting married every year. In addition I have to answer all these rumours.”

Vanessa, who has two children, Lily-Rose, 12, and Jack, nine, with Depp has dropped hints not all is well before.

Talking about her new film she revealed she did not believe in marriage or soul mates because “if you lose your soul mate everything is done for”.

She added: “The idea of a soulmate is beautiful and very romantic to talk about it in a movie or a song, but in reality I find it scary.”

Depp has been living in Los Angeles while Vanessa and the children are in France.

They met 13 years ago at a party at Paris’s exclusive Costes Hotel, with Depp saying: “I saw that back and that neck, and then she turned around and I saw those eyes ? and boom! My life as a single man was done.”

Vanessa was noticeably absent the French premiere of Depp’s film, The Rum Diary, and at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of his fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film in May.

Both Vanessa and Depp’s agents have been unavailable for a comment.

Ricky Gervais news: Comic in clear over ‘mong’ telly taunt

The Office star used the word ? a cruel term for a Down’s Syndrome sufferer ? in a live routine recorded and shown on Channel 4 last year.

He said of Britain’s Got Talent star Susan: “I don’t think she’d be where she was today if it wasn’t for the fact that she looked like such a f****** mong.”

Ofcom investigated after viewers complained but it cleared C4 of breaching rules on offensive content.

It said the word had “potential to cause considerable offence” ? but was justified in a “provocative comedy routine”.

Speaking last year, Gervais denied using the word to refer to a Down’s sufferer. He added: “The modern use of the word means dopey or ignorant.”

The Down’s Syndrome Association said last night it had contacted him and was satisfied he would no longer use the word.

Meramal Masa Depan dengan Asparagus

Jemima Packington meramal dengan asparagus (Reuters)

VIVAnews - Di sejumlah film, Anda mungkin kerap menyaksikan penyihir memprediksi masa depan dengan bantuan bola kristal. Tapi di Inggris, seorang peramal bernama Jemima Packington, 56, hanya butuh asparagus untuk membaca kisah masa depan.

Wanita yang bermukim di Bath, Somerset, itu menyebut dirinya Asparamancer. Mengklaim sebagai satu-satunya Asparamancer di dunia, ia membaca kisah masa depan hanya dengan menafsirkan posisi jatuhnya asparagus yang dilempar ke tanah.

Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, ia membuktikan akurasi puluhan ramalannya. Mulai dari pengunduran diri Perdana Menteri Inggris Gordon Brown, gejolak ekonomi di Amerika Serikat, hingga kemenangan ‘King’s Speech’ di ajang Academy Award.

“Mungkin terdengar konyol bagi beberapa orang, tetapi ramalan saya sangat akurat,” ujarnya, seperti dikutip Daily Mail. “Saya telah meramal menggunakan asparagus sejak usia delapan tahun. Bibi saya bisa meramal dengan daun teh, dan saya mewarisi kemampuannya.”

Memasuki awal tahun, ia juga membuka perbincangan setelah memprediksi keberhasilan Inggris di Olimpiade, buruknya tim sepakbola Inggris di Euro 2012, perubahan kepemimpinan di salah satu partai politik utama di Inggris, runtuhnya Euro, dan kematian salah satu tokoh penting di Inggris.

Jemima biasanya menggunakan asparagus segar Worcestershire yang tumbuh di lembah Evesham, pemasok sayuran utama di Inggris. Menggenggam beberapa batang asparagus, ia lalu melemparnya ke udara. Ia membuat penafsiran dari posisi batang-batang asparagus yang telah mendarat.

Akurasi ramalannya tentang lengsernya Gordon Brown membuat sosoknya menjadi sorotan. Jauh sebelum kenyataan itu muncul, ia yakin bahwa Gordon Brown tak hanya digulingkan, tapi juga akan meninggalkan panggung politik setelah kalah dalam Pemilu 2010.

“Saya diminta meramal tentang Gordon Brown sebelum pemilihan umum. Saya lalu melempar batang asparagus, dan saat jatuh posisi pucuknya menunjuk ke bawah, beberapa batang asparagus juga kehilangan spora yang berarti air mata.”

“Banyak orang marah waktu itu, tapi ramalan saya di kemudian hari menjadi kenyataan,” ujarnya. (eh)

Daniel Radcliffe: My girlfriend Rosie is like the nice half of my brain

He describes production assistant Rosie Coker as the “nice half of my brain”, always there to inspire him when the doubts creep in.

The couple worked together on new movie The Woman In Black, which has its world premiere in London tonight.

Daniel, 22, has also had verse published under the pen name Jacob Gershon and Rosie spurs him on to do more. He says: “I’ve written much less poetry recently.

“I still try occasionally but I end up getting thwarted by my own self-analysis.

“I’m writing things down then immediately dismissing them when, in actual fact, I should be just writing.

“She stands there behind me, encouraging me ? and any time I’m like, ‘I can’t write any more’ she goes, ‘No, no, no, let’s just write’. She is very encouraging.

“She’s like the nice half of my brain ? the part of my brain that doesn’t dislike me ? that’s her. She encourages me, which is nice.”

Daniel, who met Rosie on the set of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince in 2007, has been acting professionally since he was ten.

He made eight Harry Potter movies in just under ten years, and the films earned more money than any other movie series in cinematic history.

In between he starred in the film December Boys, TV drama My Boy Jack and appeared on stage in the hit play Equus.

That demanding schedule meant he rarely took more than a week off work.

Daniel, who never needs to work again having accumulated a fortune worth an estimated ?50million, says: “I don’t particularly like taking breaks.

“I’ve never taken a break. I’ve worked since I was ten pretty much every day.

“Somebody said to me the other day ? which I find is a ridiculous question ? they asked about the money and the wealth thing and said, ‘Why are you still working?’

“I was like, ‘I don’t know how to do anything else’.

Ripped ... appearing on stage in Equus Ripped … appearing on stage in Equus

“This is all I’ve done and I love it. And I don’t want to swap it for anything.

“This sounds like quite a sad thing to say but I don’t think it is. The happiest I ever am really is on a film set.

“I absolutely love being there. They’re wonderful places.

“So I just want to keep working for as long as possible.

“I am taking three weeks off in February, which will be the first time in four years that I’ve had more than a week.”

Perhaps it would be the perfect time to learn to cook properly.

He says: “Cooking is not something I do very much of. I’ve tried, I’m OK ? but I just can’t be bothered to do it every night, which is so lazy.

“But I’ll get better at it and for now I can order things or microwave. So between the two of them I’m kind of OK.”

Rosie, also 22, is understanding about his addiction to work and will have to make the most of those three weeks off because Daniel has no intention of letting up.

He says: “She knows me, so she knows that this is what I’m like.

DANIEL Radcliffe gets a scare in first look at creepy new movie

“She knows I love my job and there’s nothing I would ever do to not be doing my job.

“I love it ? and also, it’s not going to be like this for ever.

“I’m not going to be as in demand as I am now for ever. I think that in this next particular period of about three years, I have to be really, really busy.”

The actor believes some critics are waiting for him and the other young Harry Potter stars to FAIL. So he is working hard to prove them wrong.

He explains: “There will be some people ? not everyone ? who will want to dismiss us as ‘came out of the series and didn’t do anything afterwards’.

“That’s the story some people want to write. And I have to make extra sure they have absolutely no opportunity to do that.

“If I went away for a year after Harry Potter and took a break for a year and a half or something, that article would have been written by now.

“So I think there is an awareness you have to work really hard.

“Also, Rosie is in the industry, so she understands film hours and what it’s like to do a film ? she knows all about that.”

Daniel fits in a hectic schedule by surviving on very little sleep. It has always been that way.

When he was a little boy he gave his parents Alan ? a literary agent and former actor ? and Marcia ? a casting director ? many sleepless nights themselves because of his restlessness.

Daniel, from west London, says: “I don’t really sleep much. I never really have. I’ve always slept, kind of generally speaking, for five hours a night going back since I can remember.

“That’s why I’m an only child. I didn’t sleep a full night until I was eight years old. I woke up at four in the morning every morning like ‘OK, ready to go. What’s going on?’ That’s just always been me.”

There isn’t much sleep to be had for Daniel’s character in his new movie, The Woman In Black, either.

He plays young Victorian lawyer Arthur Kipps, who has to deal with things that scream in the night. Those screams come from the child victims of a vengeful ghost, The Woman In Black of the title.

The Hammer film, which opens on February 10, is based on a novel by Susan Hill.

For a tip on what you can expect, the movie definitely scared Daniel’s mum ? who once tried to contact the spirit world using a Ouija board.

Defining role ... Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter Defining role … Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter

He explains: “I don’t believe in ghosts, so I don’t have much fear. I think my mum did a Ouija board or something when she was younger, so she’s slightly into the spiritualism side of things.

“I’m going to make her sound crazy ? she’s not going to like me for that ? so she found this film very upsetting to watch.”

In order to appear like a character from the Victorian era, Daniel had to sport a pair of sideburns.

But he admits that his own mutton chops were not really up to the job.

Daniel says: “The ones you see in the film were laid on every morning by our amazing make-up artist, who put them on hair by hair in 15 minutes.

“I really should grow a pair but, the thing is, I don’t think I can.

“When I grow hair it just grows all at once everywhere and I don’t think it would look so good.”

The actor has recently returned home after living in New York.

He was starring in the Broadway stage musical How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying for ten months. But America has little pull on the actor, who says: “I still regard London as my home.”

A sideburning issue ... Daniel Radcliffe in The Woman In Black A sideburning issue … Daniel Radcliffe in The Woman In Black

Maybe it is because he lives in the capital that he has not yet learned to drive. “That’s one thing that I need to do when I get a little time off because I’m going to have to drive in a film at some point,” he says.

“I can’t do period films for the rest of my life and just be in horse and carts the whole time.”

Daniel’s next project is another period piece ? Kill Your Darlings, which starts filming in mid-March.

It tells the grim but gripping real-life story of how a murder affected the lives of the Beat Generation trio of writers Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs as young men. Daniel plays Ginsberg.

We’re sure it will be a great success, Daniel. And if you’ve still got any doubts, just have a word with Rosie.
