Karrueche Tran goes clubbing with boyfriend Chris Brown... after opening up about 'heartbreaking' love triangle with Rihanna during candid TV appearance


Stepping out: Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran made an appearance at West Hollywood nightspot Bootsy Bellows on Tuesday evening

She revealed a rarely seen vulnerability during an emotionally candid TV interview, to be broadcast on Wednesday.

But while her fractious relationship with singer Chris Brown and their difficult love triangle with Rihanna prompted tears from Karrueche Tran, she was keen to display a united front with her man during a night out in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening.

The 26-year-old model stepped out with Chris at West Hollywood nightspot Bootsy Bellows – and the couple ensured they were centre of attention by arriving in his newly painted Lamborghini Aventador.

Sporting a black vest top and matching skinny trousers, Karrueche walked two paces behind her boyfriend as they made their way inside.



The model teamed her neutral ensemble with a pair of strappy black heels, while her hair remained loose and lightly curled.


Walking ahead, Chris, 25, wore a sporty vest top that revealed the impressive sleeve tattoos, covering both of his arms.


Their joint appearances came shortly after Karruecjhe admitted she is 'fighting a battle' with Chris's old flame Rihanna during a preview of her appearance on talk show Just Keke.

Their joint appearances came shortly after Karruecjhe admitted she is 'fighting a battle' with Chris's old flame Rihanna during a preview of her appearance on talk show Just Keke.
 
'I've never dated a celebrity before so it was very new to me. Paparazzi and all that,' she said about their one-agan, off-again relationship, crediting a 'level head and positivity' in helping her through it.

'And then, even the situation with Rihanna, you know the reason why people tuned into this so much was because it's relatable. I have girlfriends, I have family who's gone through the same situation. It's the case of the ex. We all go through it, do you know what I'm saying?' she said. 


There you go: Karrueche climbs into the car as Chris holds the door open on Tuesday night

'But in this case my boyfriend is a celebrity who's ex-gilrfriend is an even bigger [celebrity]... So, not only am I fighting a battle with her, I'm fighting a battle with her 14 million fans or however else,' she added.

'So, imagine how that feels for me when I gotta get on Twitter and I see a whole bunch of stuff… They make up all kind of crazy stuff and it's like they know nothing about me.

Good attitude: Karreuche said a 'level head and positivity' is what helped her through the hard times

'But, you know, because they know nothing about me, because I stay so mute sometimes, that leaves open space for them to say whatever they want….'

Host Keke Palmer then asked what the hardest part about the love triangle has been and Karreuche answered tearfully: 'I guess I would say the heartbreak because it was a real situation.'

Two days earlier Karreuche posted a revealing quote to her Instagram account with the quote: 'The difference between you and I is that my love is unwavering... You have shattered my heart, but you have not shattered my love.'

'It's relatable': Karreuche said people 'tuned into' the love triangle because it's such a common situation, Chris pictured with ex Rihanna last February in LA


Manchester United's Louis van Gaal to cull TEN of David Moyes' squad






Louis van Gaal will show his ruthless streak now he has his feet under the table as Manchester United boss - with a major clear-out of the club’s dead wood.


As many as TEN players are facing the axe under the Dutchman, who is determined to overhaul the squad that fared so disastrously under sacked boss David Moyes last season.


Former Holland boss Van Gaal arrived at United’s Aon Traning Complex on Wednesday to begin his new role, taking an evening training session after meeting his squad and staff - including assistant Ryan Giggs.

Van Gaal intends to make as many as four more signings this summer, to add to new arrivals Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw, as well as stripping back his existing squad.


The players poised to be shown the door by Van Gaal include Ashley Young, Wilfried Zaha, Marouane Fellaini, Bebe, Anderson, Tom Cleverley, Nani and Nick Powell.


With Patrice Evra leaving for Juventus just weeks after being handed a new deal and striker Javier Hernandez open to a move elsewhere to play more regularly, Van Gaal could jettison as many as 10 of Moyes’ squad.


Louis Van Gaal - A Career


United’s new boss is understood to want to operate with a squad of around 24 or 25 men - which would mean a significant scaling down of the group he inherits.


Van Gaal is keen to promote from within and give United’s youngsters a chance to impress. He will look to assistant boss Giggs for the low-down on the club’s emerging talent.

The former Ajax, Barceona and Bayern Munich boss has looked to develop young players at every club he has managed and is keen to do the same at Old Trafford - although several more big-money signings are planned this summer.

Jennifer Aniston releases second fragrance, 'J by Jennifer'


J by Jennifer Aniston, the second scent by the actress, is a crisp light fragrance

Jennifer Aniston continues to expand her empire, releasing her second fragrance ‘J’ this week.

The 45-year-old actress looks stunning on the box of the new scent, which comes in an azure blue bottle.

With her hair teased into slightly damp tresses and a sun-kissed glow, Jennifer captures the beach babe look perfectly.

J by Jennifer Aniston is a clean rather than sweet scent designed for the summer.
Aniston: ‘My debut fragrance is a clean, feminine perfume — it reminds me of the way you smell when you just arrive at the beach: fresh, with a touch of sunblock and sand.

‘This new fragrance is its complement. It has a hint of that salty sea smell that reminds me of a day spent in the ocean. It’s relaxed and refreshing.’

Actress Jennifer Aniston released her first fragrance three years ago
 
Her debut scent Lolavie was launched three years ago and has notes of citrus grove accord, rose water and jasmine.

Rumoured to be on the cusp of marrying her fiance of 23 months Justin Theroux, Jennifer's summer looks set to be jam-packed as she promotes both her new scent and her latest movie Horrible Bosses 2 in which she plays a nymphomaniac employer from hell.

But her career successes have not stopped the endless speculation about her relationship with fellow actor Justin.

Justin, who is currently promoting his new show The Leftovers has recently announced their relationship will remain bi-costal as he plans to continue to split his time between New York and LA, where Jennifer lives.

Despite this, Justin told Extra at the New York premiere of his new HBO series The Leftovers on Monday, that despite rumours their long engagement means they are getting cold feet about tying the knot, they have 'hot feet'.

'We're still happily engaged,' the star continued while keeping a close hold on his 'gorgeous' sweetheart down much of the red carpet.

'I'm so f***ing hammered!': Charlie Sheen has a bizarre encounter with fans at a Taco Bell drive-thru

Charlie Sheen has long been known as one of Hollywood's biggest partiers and two fans may have got more than they bargained for when they saw the him live and in the flesh.

A video has been circulating around the internet of the the 48-year-old actor looking rather worse for wear as he stumbled over to have a conversation with a couple waiting at the drive thru at a Taco Bell.

The first thing the former Two And A Half Men star blurts out after introducing himself is: 'Sorry, I'm so f***ing hammered.'

The star looked noticeably disheveled as his hair was a mess and he had an obvious slur in his speech.

Charlie shakes hands with the couple and even asks if the two are in the middle of a fight, which the couple quickly deny.

When asked about his tattoo the Major League star is quick to open up his low cut top to show off the ink on his chest then the logo of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team on his forearm.

See the video below.



News has recently come out that the Anger Management star is hoping to start a family with fiancée Scottine Sheen after they wed.

When asked by TMZ over the weekend if she planned to have a baby with her husband, the 25-year-old replied: 'Yes. Yes, that's pretty much as far as we have got though.'

A taste of his own medicine: Acid-tongued X Factor judge Simon Cowell gets a harsh rejection


Flipping the script: Simon has built up a reputation for himself as being quite direct in his critiquing of talent show hopefuls

Thanks to the hugely successful empire he's built over the years, it's probably not often that Simon Cowell's business ideas get rebuffed. But the man behind such ratings juggernauts as The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent hit one such stumbling block when he approached Fatboy Slim about his new talent show.

Simon has been developing the upcoming US show Ultimate DJ, which will seek out the top aspiring track-spinners - and when he approached Fatboy Slim with his idea, he was told in no uncertain terms that he was far from interested.

Not impressed: Fatboy Slim has revealed that he wasn't exactly enthusiastic when Simon Cowell approached him about his upcoming talent show Ultimate DJ

'Simon Cowell was talking about doing a show and everyone in the business, he kind of started approaching us, and we were like, "F**k off. No - that's a terrible idea!!"' Fatboy Slim, real name Norman Cook, told Digital Spy.

The Eat Sleep Rave Repeat hitmaker, 51, continued: 'I get offered loads of TV shows and they're like, "Can you perform for five minutes?"


'But DJ-ing takes two hours and an audience. It's not like you can go out there and sing your latest song. Because of that, it will always remain slightly outside the mainstream.

'At the end of the day, it's about taking a big bunch of high people and trying to get them higher, which you can't do on TV.'

Making merry: Fatboy Slim, real name Norman Cook, believes his skills are better reserved for revellers at clubs and parties

A release date for the upcoming show has yet to be announced. For now, 54-year-old Simon is focussing on his return to The X Factor later this year after an extended absence while he worked on the now-cancelled US version of the show.

He will also be joined by show regular Louis Walsh, new recruit Mel B and Cheryl Cole, who left the show in 2011 to work on the American edition, only to get canned soon afterwards.

Ready to return: Simon is heading back to The X Factor later this year, after a three-year absence



Gisele earns an eye-watering $128,000 a DAY and has a higher net worth than Ronaldo

Forbes claim that Gisele has raked in $47m in past 12 months alone

Big bucks: Forbes, who've rank Gisele as the world's highest earning model for seven consecutive years, claim that she earns £74,000 ($128,000) every single day

She's the face of H&M, appeared in a film shot by Baz Luhrmann for Chanel and unveiled the World Cup, so it comes as little surprise that Gisele Bundchen is the world's highest earning model.

But according to a new report, the 33-year-old, who's also a clothes horse for Carolina Herrera, Isabel Marant, Emilio Pucci and Balenciaga, has raked in a reported $47m (£27m) in the past 12 months alone.

Forbes, who have ranked the Brazilian beauty as the world's highest earning model for seven consecutive years, claim that she earns £74,000 ($128,000) every single day thanks to her work with companies such as Falabella, a Chilean department store, and Fidelia, a Korean lingerie brand.

Famous face: The 33-year-old Brazilian beauty is the face of H&M, appeared in a film shot by Baz Luhrmann for Chanel, and unveiled the World Cup in her role as ambassador of Louis Vuitton, among many other fashion campaigns

The site states: 'Since Forbes began tracking Bundchen’s numbers in 2001, her estimated total earnings over the period totaled $386m (£225m) . If corrected by US inflation based on the buying power of the dollar over time, that sum goes to some $427m (£249m).

'That does not include management, agent and attorney fees, but assuming Bundchen’s been managing her cash, spending wisely and making smart investments, which seems to be the case, it’s safe to say she has amassed a respectable net worth.' 

Talents: Gisele was one of Victoria's Secret's most famous Angels for seven years and she's also made cameo roles in movies, such as The Devil Wears Prada

To put it into perspective, Forbes say that is almost twice as much as Brazilian football ace Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima's estimated net worth. Gisele, who also has a line of sandals and lingerie range, is keen to keep her earnings private.

Earlier this year she told MdeMulher in her native Brazil: 'It's sad, because the people who write these things don't have my bank account details.

'I do OK, I earn plenty, but not as much as they say. I've already been audited by the IRS because of this list and, truthfully, whether I'm on this list or not doesn't interest me.

Gisele shot to fame in the late 1990s and she was credited with ending the 'heroin chic' era exemplified by skinny, waifish models such as by Kate Moss.

Gisele was one of Victoria's Secret's most famous Angels for seven years and she's also had cameo roles in movies, such as Taxi and The Devil Wears Prada.

Success story: Gisele, pictured, right, with her husband, NFL player Tom Brady, has been the highest-paid model in the world for seven years



Israeli gunboat missile kills four boys from the same family as they played on Gaza beach as death toll rises to 204



Death: Palestinians mourn over the dead bodies of four boys from the same family, who were killed by an Israeli airstrike on a beach in Gaza today. The boys' bodies were covered with the yellow flags of the Fatah movement while displayed in a mosque ahead of their funeral this afternoon

Israeli gunboat missiles have killed four Palestinian boys from the same family as they played on a beach in the Gaza Strip, bringing the death toll in the nine-day conflict to 204. Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al Kedra says the four boys killed in Gaza's seaport today were all under the age of 18, adding that some of the seven other people wounded were adults.

Israel has intensified air and tank strikes on what it says are Hamas militant targets in the Gaza strip after dropping flyers and making automated phone calls ordering tens of thousands of Palestinians in the north and east of the region to leave their homes by 8am this morning.

Israel's resumption of air and tank strikes on Gaza comes after authorities said one of the hundreds of rockets launched from within the Hamas-dominated region has caused the first Israeli fatality in the nine day-old conflict.

The renewed bombings came a day after Israel initially accepted an Egyptian truce proposal that called for a halt of hostilities. That was to be followed by talks on the terms of a longer-term cease-fire, including easing Gaza's seven-year-old border blockade by Israel and Egypt.

Hamas rejected the plan and instead launched more rockets at Israel. The militant group views a significant easing of the blockade as key to its survival, but does not believe Egypt's current rulers - who deposed a Hamas-friendly government in Cairo last year - can be fair brokers.

'The siege on Gaza must be broken and the people of Gaza should live freely like other people of the world,' Moussa Abu Marzouk, a top Hamas official, said. 'There should be a new equation so that we will not have a war on Gaza every two years.'

As Cairo's effort collapsed, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Hamas will pay a high price for rejecting the truce offer, adding that he would 'widen and increase' Israel's campaign, but it remains unclear if that will include a ground offensive.

Israel has warned it might send troops into Gaza and has massed thousands of soldiers on the border. But entering Gaza is likely to drive up casualties on both sides. Israel has hesitated in the past to embark on ground operations for fear of getting entangled in the densely-populated territory of 1.7 million.

The website of the Gaza Interior Ministry said Israel warplanes carried out dozens of air strikes before dawn this morning, targeting 30 houses - including those of senior Hamas leaders Mahmoud Zahar, Jamila Shanti, Fathi Hamas and Ismail Ashkar.

Zahar was a key figure in Hamas' violent takeover of Gaza in 2007, while the other three were members of the Palestinian parliament elected in 2006. Many Hamas leaders have gone into hiding since the beginning of the Israeli offensive.

Alongside the air strikes, Israel also ordered tens of thousands of residents of the northern town of Beit Lahiya and the Zeitoun and Shijaiyah neighborhoods of Gaza City, all near the border with Israel, to evacuate their homes by 8 a.m. Wednesday.

Disbelief: Pictured is the grieving mother of one of the four Palestinian children from the same family killed in a naval strike on the port of Gaza today

The warnings were delivered in automated phone calls, text messages and leaflets dropped from planes and told residents of Israel's plans to 'attack terrorists and terror infrastructures,' adding: 'Israel is currently attacking, and will continue to attack, every area from which rockets are being launched at its territory'.

The leaflets go on to say: 'The IDF [Israeli Defence Force] is not interested in hurting you or your family members. These operations are limited and short. Whoever does not adhere to these instructions and does not vacate their house immediately is subjecting their lives and the lives of their children and family to danger.'

They also gave detailed instructions on which roads those fleeing their homes should take, and when would be a safe time to travel.

This morning, hundreds of residents of Zeitoun and Shijaiyah were seen walking in the streets, carrying small bags with belongings. Older children carried smaller ones, in their arms or on their backs.
