Gisele Bundchen regrets undergoing breast enlargement
Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen has revealed that she regrets going under the knife for a breast augmentation in 2015.
According to people.com, after breastfeeding both her son Benjamin and daughter Vivian for more than 18 months each, the 38-year-old felt her breasts were smaller and slightly uneven, which made her undergo breast surgery.
She said, "I was always praised for my body, and I felt like people had expectations from me that I couldn't deliver.
"I felt very vulnerable because I can work out, I can eat healthy, but I can't change the fact that both of my kids enjoyed the left breast more than the right. All I wanted was for them to be even and for people to stop commenting on it."
She decided to undergo a breast enlargement procedure. But she wishes she had never had the surgery.
In her memoir, "Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life", Bundchen wrote: "When I woke up, I was like, ‘What have I done?' I felt like I was living in a body I didn't recognise. For the first year I wore (baggy) clothes because I felt uncomfortable."
The model also praised her husband Tom Brady as she considers him as her source of support.
"He just said, ‘I love you no matter what' and that I looked beautiful," she said.
Kutcher gives former step daughter sole ownership of $971,500 home
Actor Ashton Kutcher has given sole ownership of his Los Angeles house to his former step daughter Rumer Willis.
According to people.com, the Spread star purchased the 1,800 square feet property in 2009 for $971,500 with Rumer, who is the daughter of Kutcher's ex-wife Demi Moore and her former husband Bruce Willis.
The house was bought under co-ownership, which granted each of them 50 per cent ownership of the property.
Later on 3 August, Rumer filed documents stating that the co-ownership has ended and "All debt owing under the note, deed of trust and any related loan documents has been deemed paid and satisfied in full".
Therefore, the house now belongs exclusively to Rumer Willis.
The documents do not indicate if Rumer paid Kutcher any money for full ownership of the home.
Kutcher, 34, and Moore, 55, divorced in November 2013 after eight years of marriage. The actor has since remarried Mila Kunis and they share two children together.
God give Cosby mercy, says Stevie Wonder
Legendary musician Stevie Wonder prayed that God gives mercy to comedian Bill Cosby, who has been arrested following a sexual harassment case.
In an interview with tmz.com, the "Superstition" hitmaker said, "I don't like prisons... I respect the work that he has done in his career as an artiste, and he has inspired a lot of people. And I just pray that God give him the mercy."
Cosby was sentenced on Tuesday by a court in Norristown, Pennsylvania for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004.
The 81-year-old America's Dad comedian has also been labelled a "sexually violent predator" by a US court, implying that he must undergo counselling for life and appear on the sex offenders' registry.
Martial artist Tony Jaa to star in 'Monster Hunter'
Thai actor and martial artist Tony Jaa has joined actress Milla Jovovich in Monster Hunter.
According to hollywoodreporter.com, the film is an adaption of the Capcom video game. The game revolves around the armed players taking on characters who track and kill monsters.
Jovovich is playing a character named Artemis while Jaa is ostensibly the movie's male lead, a man simply called The Hunter.
Being helmed by Paul W.S. Anderson, Monster Hunter also features actors T.I. Harris and Ron Perlman. The shooting will begin next month in South Africa.
Fox to sell 39% Sky stake to Comcast
Twenty-First Century Fox has agreed to sell its 39 per cent stake in Sky Television to Comcast, which won a bidding auction for the European pay-TV giant.
According to CNBC News, the decision was approved by Disney, which will soon acquire most of Fox and would have inherited the Sky stake.
Fox said in a statement, "In light of the premium Comcast has agreed to pay for Sky, we and Disney have decided to sell 21st Century Fox's existing 39 per cent holding in Sky to Comcast. We congratulate Comcast on their pending acquisition."
Disney also said that the sale of the stake, coupled with the divestiture of the Fox Sports Regional Networks, would reduce the amount of debt it will incur in buying the Fox assets and help it invest in its Disney-branded direct-to-consumer offering launching late next year.
Another major part of Disney's streaming strategy is Hulu, which it will control as a result of the acquisition. Disney will own 60 per cent of the streaming service after the deal closes, which is expected to happen in 2019.
Marilyn Monroe's wedding car up for auction
Late Hollywood veteran star Marilyn Monroe's black Ford Thunderbird is up for auction.
The car is expected to fetch up to $500,000 when it goes under the hammer at an upcoming Julien's Auctions event in November, reports aceshowbiz.com.
A published report at the time suggests the actress and Miller arrived for their civil wedding ceremony on 28 June 1956 in the vehicle.
Reports suggest it was a Christmas gift from her business partner and photographer, Milton Greene.
She passed it on as an 18th birthday gift to John Strasberg, the son of director and acting coach Lee Strasberg and his wife, Paula. The legal transfer of the vehicle took place months before Monroe's death on 5 August 1962.
"Once in a while something comes along that has a powerful magic about it, a charisma, because of everything and everyone associated with it," Darren Julien, the president and CEO of Julien's Auctions, told World Entertainment News Network.
"This wonderful black Ford Thunderbird is not only part of automotive history but comes with an aura of glamour, romance and tragedy of a true Hollywood legend. It will make the centrepiece of any classic car collection and be an object of fascination to millions," he added.
The unnamed current owner said, "I found the vehicle in lovely show condition. Nevertheless, the car has received a frame-off restoration to its exact original appearance by Prestige Thunderbird, Inc., of Santa Fe Springs, California.
"Finding this car, a classic two-seater model, after 56 plus years of its unknown whereabouts, was a singular event. No other car has been located and documented as owned by the incomparable Marilyn Monroe."
The car features "a raven black exterior with an elegant black and white interior."
It has a 312 cubic-inch V-8 engine and a carburetor generating 225 horsepower, Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power windows, and power seats. It comes equipped with a black canvas convertible top and a 'porthole' windowed hardtop, rear fender shields and American Classic 670R15 radial tires.
Monroe owned the car from 1955 to 1962 after buying it before she married playwright Arthur.
Shawn Mendes, Zedd release 'Lost in Japan' remix
Shawn Mendes has teamed up with DJ-producer Zedd to release a new remix for the singer-songwriter's latest single "Lost in Japan".
They teased the remix and artwork throughout the week, leading up to the song's release on Thursday via Island Records.
"Lost in Japan" is the second single from Mendes' self-titled third album.
Coinciding with the remix, Mendes and Zedd released a lyric video.
"When we decided to make 'Lost in Japan' the next single, I wanted to do an exciting remix for the song, and with Zedd being a good friend and such an amazing artiste, it felt natural to ask him to collaborate on it. What he did with it is so incredible," Mendes said in a statement.
Zedd got really excited when Mendes asked him to work on a new version of "Lost in Japan".
"I tried to fuse both of our worlds together and bring us both to a place we wouldn't have gone to by ourselves. It's my favourite song from the album so it was super fun to put my own touch to it," said Zedd.
The original version of the song has so far garnered 200 million global streams.
Cardi B to return to stage post giving birth
Rapper Cardi B is making her comeback at the 2018 American Music Awards (AMAs). This will be her first performance on stage after giving birth.
The rapper, 25, will be taking the stage at the 9 October show, marking her first performance since welcoming daughter Kulture Kiari with husband Offset on 10 July, reports people.com.
She will be joined by Bad Bunny and J Balvin to perform their hit "I Like It", people.com reported.

Sixteen days after she delivered baby Kulture, Cardi B announced in late July she would not be performing on Bruno Mars' tour in order to spend more time with her daughter and give her body more time to recover from the birth.
The 2018 AMAs, presented by YouTube Music, will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on 9 October on ABC.

Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez doesn’t need a cape to look and feel like a superhero.
The "El Anillo" singer, 49, showed off her buff biceps in a clingy maroon dress and silver hoop earrings on Instagram. With her hair swept back, Lopez flexed her incredible arms as she looked confidently at the camera over her shoulder, reports people.com.
"Feeling like superwoman after the show tonight," Lopez wrote.
In the caption, Lopez reflected on her jam-packed show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, which comes to a close on 29 September.
“When I started this run I thought omg 15 shows in 27 days that's a lot," said Lopez.
She added, "But I made a promise to myself that instead of letting it wear me down I would be even stronger at the end of it…I will work out and be in the best shape of my life…"
"There were moments I was tired and there was travel and I had to fit in my workouts where I could... but here we are with only three shows left!! And I am having so many emotions but mostly just feeling strong, happy and grateful."
