The Dishing Diva

Dame Helen Mirren has taught Jimmy Kimmel how to curtsey. The actress performed the curtsey on Kimmel’s chat show when he told her that he thought she lived in Buckingham Palace and he should bow. Dame Helen, promoting new movie The Tempest, added that her dog, Ghost, once went missing, and so she called a pet detective to find him. “I want the top of the line, the most expensive service. Then about 15 minutes later [I got a call] saying I got your dog Ghost. “I was amazed. He was tattooed with my phone number. “The girl who found him was a working girl. Not quite Julia Roberts. The things Ghost must have seen amazes me to think about.”

The latest name to be thrown into the revolving door of stunt casting on the hit TV series ‘Glee’ is none other than The Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen. Sources are saying that not only is there a potential tribute episode to the rock star’s music in the works but that he could be making an appearance as Finn’s uncle. Insiders are saying “Bruce is such an all-American icon we thought it would be great to get him on board. His music is loved by everyone and it has such potential to fit into the show.” Even Jane Lynch is cool with the idea, saying “I hear rumors that we may do a Bruce Springsteen episode and I think something like that would be amazing. I’m a big fan!”

Cat Deeley has revealed that rather than waste time hating herself, she has decided to love her imperfections.

The So You Think You Can Dance host, who has often topped the beauty polls, said although she knows she isn’t perfect, she has learned to be happy with what she has got.

The 33-year-old told Cosmopolitan: “I embraced early on that I’m not perfect. Besides, it’s the imperfections that make people fall in love. Otherwise, we’d all love the same person; guys would all love Gisele and girls would all love Brad Pitt.”

But like every other woman across the globe, she did admit to having the occasional “off day”.

“We all have those days when you have to squeeze a bit harder into your jeans or when you look in the mirror after a long flight and are like, ‘Oh, my goodness!’”

True Blood beauty Anna Paquin says she gets a ‘kick’ out of drinking pretend blood on the show.

Paquin, 27, who is engaged to co-star Stephen Moyer, has had to drink vampire blood several times on set but admitted she doesn’t mind as she secretly enjoys it.

She told Self magazine: “I get a kick out of it, but the actual blood makes me want to gaga! It’s some kind of sweet corn syrup, I think, with an aftertaste that’s less than pleasant after the 10th take.

“In season one, they asked me if I wanted sugar or sugar-free. I was like, ‘sugar-free blood? Sounds great!’ Big mistake. Because then it only tastes like the latex tubes it’s coming through.”

He has declared to Ali he will be the “last man standing”. And it seems Bachelorette contestant Kasey Kahl has never been lacking in the confidence department.

The advertising account executive was equally as fearless when he was just a fresh-faced teenager growing up in Clovis, California.

“All we have to do is show up and all ready the other team is scared they are going to lose,” he wrote in one of his high school yearbooks.

But back then the sentiment was describing his prowess on the baseball field rather than his ability to charm members of the opposite sex.

Kasey, now 27, attended Clovis High School between 1997 and 2001 – when he graduated at 18-years-old.

With an almost identical cropped blonde hairstyle and cheeky grin, the baby-faced Bachelorette contestant is easily recognizable in his yearbook snaps.

While the 1998 book shows him as a football-playing Freshman – number 18 in the squad – Kasey appears to have dedicated the rest of his school days to baseball instead.

And if his confidence levels on The Bachelorette match his bravado on the Junior Varsity baseball team, Kasey’s fellow contestants had better look out.

Kasey, one of the remaining 17 suitors trying to win the heart of Ali Fedotowsky on The Bachelorette, came across as sweet and sensitive as he made his debut on the ABC reality show.

“I will always be there to protect and guard your heart. All I ask is just give me a chance to show you mine,” he told Ali as he met her for the first time.

But as the cameras continued rolling, the 6’4” blonde grew in confidence – and took the bold step of declaring himself the eventual winner.

“I know that in the end I’ll be there. I’ll be the last man standing. I’ll be Ali’s future husband,” he said.

Ali, 25, kept Kasey waiting until the very last minute, and handed him her final rose on Monday night’s season premiere.

The advertising account executive breathed a sigh of relief as he was sent through to the next round of the competition.

Heidi Klum has explained why she and husband Seal decorate their bedroom with naked photos of themselves.

The supermodel appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday when she made the rude confession.

Klum said when she was getting a fitting at her home, a visitor saw the nude photos in Klum’s “private bedroom” and sold the story to the papers, “which is mean”.

“And that is how this whole thing started about our semi-nudey, artsy photos that we have,” Klum added.

Defending why the photos exist, Klum told the host: “They were not for anyone to see.

“It’s not like we’re showing them to everybody. They’re in our bedroom.”

Klum then asked DeGeneres: “Don’t you have beautiful photos of you and, you know, Portia?” to which the chat show queen said no.

Klum claims the photos are harmless and not kinky in any way. She said: “We’re not doing some naked voodoo dancing crazy business. It’s just photos!”

The Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels has confessed she fears how having a baby would change her famous physique.

“I can’t handle doing that to my body,” Michaels said in an interview with Women’s Health, Hollywood Life reports.

The 36-year-old trainer is renowned for her tough approach to fitness and diet when it comes to whipping contestants on The Biggest Loser into better shape.

But that doesn’t mean the host of NBC’s new show Losing It With Jillian does not want to have children, adding “I’m going to adopt”.

“Also, when you rescue something, it’s like rescuing a part of yourself,” she said.
