George Clooney wants happiness



George Clooney is looking for ''happiness, peacefulness and joy''.

The Gravity actor was mocked by Tina Fey at the Golden Globe awards over his penchant for younger women insists he is getting ''wiser'' as he grows older, but still has the same priorities he has always had.

Discussing the joke, he said: ''Yes I did hear and I heard everybody laughing very hard too.

''All I will say is we get wiser as we get older. And that what I am looking for in life is the same as I always have; happiness, peacefulness and joy. And that's all I'm going to say about that because otherwise I'd get into trouble.''

George - whose latest movie, The Monuments Men follows an Allied group who try and save pieces of art and other items of cultural importance before their destruction by Adolf Hitler - has filled his home with pictures and paintings that make the place feel ''warm'', rather than splashing out on expensive pieces of art.

He told Britain's Hello! magazine: ''I do have paintings on my wall which I love and are incredibly important to me, but for personal reasons not because they're expensive.

''I have a picture of a rainy Paris street scene which I bought when I was 33 and on my first trip to Paris. I got past it when I go upstairs every night and it reminds me of that trip and makes me happy.

''I bought a painting in Madrid on my first trip there too and a lot of people say, 'Well it's not the greatest painting' and I say, 'It is to me'.

''OK, you can look at a beautiful painting and say, 'That's beautiful' but to me, it feels warmer to fill my home with pictures of friends and family and paintings of places I've gone. That's what I want to come home to.''

An Upset Kelly Rowland Walks Off Stage @ Darey's Love Like A Movie Concert





Popular singer and former Destiny's Child member, Kelly Rowland, came into the country last week to attend and perform in Darey's highly talked about concert.

Well, the concert, Love Like A Movie, was on last night as planned; but it seems things didn't go down too well for Kelly Rowland during her performance.

The 33 year old star reportedly stormed off the stage angry, only 5 minutes into her performance because of a technical hitch that went down.

It seems the Diva isn't used to having difficulties with her technical crew because not only did she storm off the stage, she also went straight back to her hotel room.

The good part however, is that things got fixed up, she got a change of heart and returned to the show to complete her performance. All is well that ends well!

Hollywood actress admits she's gay



Ellen Page, who won the hearts of movie goers as the pregnant teenager in the 2007 film Juno, has come out as gay.

The 26-year-old told a Las Vegas audience on Friday, "I'm here today because I am gay." She was speaking to a conference of counsellors who work with teenagers who identify as lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual or queer.

A video of her speech was posted on the Los Angeles Times website.

Page says she suffered for years because she was afraid to come out. She told the audience, "I'm standing here today, with all of you, on the other side of all that pain."

Page received an Oscar nomination for her performance in Juno.

She also had major roles in X-Men: The Last Stand in 2006 and Inception in 2010.
