Gwyneth Paltrow swung by chef Mario Batali's new show, The Chew, to talk about her love of food.

Gwyneth Paltrow swung by chef Mario Batali's new show, The Chew, to talk about her love of food. She admitted that she exercises for an hour-and-a-half five days a week, and all the workouts mean she can eat pretty much whatever she likes. Gwyneth, who just stunned on the Oscars red carpet last week, also joked about the awards show but kept silent when conversation turned to Angelina Jolie's funny leg pose.

Liam Hemsworth Talks Surfing, Chris and Missing Australia in GQ Style

Liam Hemsworth’s baby blues are front and centre on the latest cover of GQ Style Australia, which is on sale now.

Liam Hemsworth’s baby blues are front and centre on the latest cover of GQ Style Australia, which is on sale now. He also puts his modelling skills to work in an accompanying retro-styled shoot photographed by Dusan Reljin. With The Hunger Games being released this month, Liam and his co-stars are the names on everyone’s lips, but he didn’t talk about the film too much in his interview with David Hochman. Instead he touched on his surfing ambitions back in the day and missing his parents and family back home. Liam said:

  • On his childhood role model: “I surfed competitively and made it to the state rounds where I was competing with the top surfers in Victoria. We travelled everywhere. All my friends were surfers. All we wanted to be was Kelly Slater.”
  • On his parents: “My parents are good people who do good things for others. It can be a challenging example to live up to.”
  • On Chris landing the role of Thor: “Look, Chris is six-and-a-half years older than me so there’s this thing where if I’d got Thor, that would have been weird. The way I look at this is, better Chris than someone else. Believe me, Chris and I spent most of our lives beating each other up. At this point, we’re just happy not to be fist-fighting over who gets to sit in the front seat.”
  • On missing home: “My family and friends back in Australia have missed this part of my life; and it’s been a big part. That’s tough. I’m growing up without them. My parents don’t Skype. It’s tough with the time difference. I miss Australia a lot.”

Dancing With the Stars Announces First 4 Celebrities For 2012

Who’s in the running to win the mirror ball trophy on Dancing With the Stars this year?

Who’s in the running to win the mirror ball trophy on Dancing With the Stars this year? Channel Seven has confirmed the first four celebrities from this year’s line-up: Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Vogue Williams, Johnny Ruffo and Brendan Fevola. Kerri-Anne’s name has been in the mix ever since she made the move from Channel Nine to Channel Seven, while Johnny Ruffo already has a relationship with Seven after placing third in The X Factor last year — the network will surely appreciate the young female audience he brings to the show. Brendan’s ex-wife Alex was a competitor in the 2010 series and came third. Irish DJ Vogue’s fiancé is Australia’s Got Talent judge Brian McFadden, so we can expect to see him cheering her on in the crowd. And while the following names haven’t been officially confirmed, sources say Erin McNaught, Shannon Noll, Danielle Spencer, Jessica Watson, Brian Mannix and Zoe Cramond will also hit the dance floor to show off their cha-cha-cha skills.

Pouring rain didn’t stop around 300,000 people from lining Oxford Street to watch the colourful floats, which included a Kylie-themed float to celebrate the pop princess’ return to the event for the first time in 14 years. She wore a colourful, beaded Pucci dress with a sexy back for the parade, and changed into a design from Jean Paul Gaultier for her 2 a.m. performance at the after party inside the Hordern Pavilion. Kylie then expressed her gratitude on Twitter, writing, “ThkU THANK YOU @SydneyMardiGras & Mardigrasland.....YOU were amazing....I am #happytiredwiredrelievedamazedgrateful.” Other celebrities who partied on the weekend for Mardi Gras include Magda Szubanski and Home and Away’s Dan Ewing.

She was sitting next to her sister-in-law Nikki, who she brought along to partake in the fashionable festivities.

Jessica chronicled her whole trip on Twitter and Instagram, sharing everything she saw and all the delicious things she ate while abroad. Jessica made a similarly quick visit to NYC for the Michael Kors runway show last month, but she doesn't seem to want to stay away from her daughters, Haven and Honor, and husband Cash Warren long.

You better Belize it!

You better Belize it! Prince Harry kicked off his first solo tour with a festive night in Belmopan, Belize on Friday.

Harry's three-week tour will also include stops in more of the Queen's Commonwealth realms in the Bahamas and Jamaica before he heads to Brazil on a trade mission. It's all part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee year, and back home in London Harry's sister-in-law Kate Middleton is taking on her own duties while Prince William is off in the Falklands. Duchess Catherine, the Queen and Camilla made an appearance at a department store together earlier in the week.
