Hollywood star Drew Barrymore was moved on a recent charity trip to Africa after seeing local children’s delight at going to school. The 36 year-old found fame at the age of seven, which meant she received on-set tuition and missed out on a normal education. And the Going the Distance actress was happy to see how much Kenyan kids enjoy heading to school during a visit to the country with the World Food Programme. Speaking in the September 2011 issue of Conde Nast Traveler, Barrymore said: “I was really moved. I never went to school myself. I was doing a job and didn’t have a kid’s life. I wanted to learn more about why these kids were so passionate, walking so far and overfilling their classrooms. “I didn’t want to be on a soapbox, this Westerner living in a bubble, so on the first trip I was a little nervous. I asked questions and listened a lot.”
Ashton Kutcher believes that you have to constantly work on a relationship to make it a success. The 33-year-old actor, who is married to Demi Moore, said that people just expect happiness to come to them, but that is not the case. Appearing on Lorraine, he explained, “A good relationship will ground you. I think the key to any relationship is work on it when it’s good. “When things are going good a lot of the times people just rest. But we all have this assumption that at some point in our lives we will just be happy and we won’t have to work on it anymore. “And the minute you stop working on it is the minute things start to fall off. And I think in relationships and family, when it’s really going good, work on it then, and it will stay good.”
Sarah Jessica Parker says that filming Sex And The City 2 in Morocco sparked some romance on set.
“There were some hook-ups,” the actress confirmed. “The dunes hypnotise people.”
Parker not only reprises her role as Carrie Bradshaw in the big screen sequel, she worked behind the scenes as a producer on the project that reunites the famous foursome, but sees them travel to the desert.
Commenting on getting back to work with co-stars Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall, Parker told Entertainment Tonight: “We know each other’s habits … We got to spend more time together than we ever had in 13 years.”
Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian wants her famous sister Kim to stop hunting for love.
Kim was recently dumped by long-term love Reggie Bush – and Khloe says she fears the star will rush to find comfort with the wrong man.
“I pray she stays single,” Khloe, 25, admitted while on the Today Show in the US.
“Kim goes from one relationship to the next.”
Khloe insisted her sister’s split from the New Orleans Saints American football star was not because of “anything bad” between them, and revealed she is still in touch with Reggie.
“I think it’s just time to move on,” she said. “It’s a good thing they never wed. It’s like ending on a good note.”
Of her own love with Lamar Odom, Khloe said: “We’re so in love.
“I’m a little – it’s a little obsessive.”
She said that she “can’t wait” for Odom to wrap up his basketball season.
“We’re just excited for it all to be over. We haven’t even had a honeymoon yet,” she said.
“We’re excited to take two weeks, go out of the country, leave our cell phones behind.
Miley Cyrus’ Australian boyfriend Liam Hemsworth says he enjoyed taking her home to meet his family.
The young couple got together when they co-starred in the movie The Last Song.
Hemsworth and the Hannah Montana star took a break in Hemsworth’s home country last New Year.
“She came back at New Year’s – it is cool to show her where I am from and how I grew up. It is a different world to where she is from so it is cool.”
Asked if he had realised how big a star Cyrus was, he laughed and said: “Yeah, we had a few photographs out in front of my house for the week – it was interesting.”
Catherine Zeta Jones has said she ‘fell in love’ with her husband Michael Douglas the moment she met him.
The 40-year-old beauty is married to Douglas, 65, and they have two children together – Dylan, nine, and Carys, six.
Asked if she has a happy family life, she said: “Totally. I fell in love with Michael the moment I met him and our relationship has just grown stronger and stronger.
“We are very close. I know there were some cynics when we first got together but we married because of love – and that has never waned, not for a minute.”
Douglas is 25 years older than she is, but Zeta Jones said there are benefits to marrying an older man.
She said: “Until somebody actually tells me he’s 25 years older, I don’t actually think about it. I guess he’s been through the mill a bit if he can put up with me and we’re not vying for equal rights in our careers because he already is Michael Douglas.
“He’s spent all his life doing that and he can take a back seat in a way and not feel so crazed about the consciousness of his career. It works very well with the children, him being at home and me working and vice versa.”
