<body_text><![CDATA[Hollywood stars Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx have reportedly split.
The high-profile duo - who have always tried to keep their relationship low-key - are said to have called time on their romance, having gone public with their love in September last year.
Katie (39) - who has a 12-year-old daughter called Suri with ex-husband Tom Cruise - instigated the split, according to RadarOnline.
The Hollywood stars were romantically linked to each other for the first time back in 2013, but the pair subsequently spent years insisting that they were merely just good friends.
However, the former&nbsp;Dawson's Creek&nbsp;actress and Jamie (50) finally went public with their relationship in 2017, when they were pictured holding hands while walking along a beach.
And prior to their split, it was suggested that the couple were both becoming increasingly comfortable with the interest in their romance.
A source said: &quot;They're starting to be more comfortable about their relationship. They'd both been in public relationships before. They care about each other a lot and they tried to stay as quiet as possible because they didn't want to ruin that ... Jamie brings a lot of joy and happiness into her life. They've definitely become more serious.&quot;
Despite this, Katie - whose divorce from Tom was finalised in 2012 - continued to regard Suri as her first priority.
The insider added: &quot;She's an amazing mom. She'll choose her family over him any day ... When they're together it works. When they're not, they're on their own. It's what works for them ... Katie found happiness with Katie first.
&quot;She's worked her ass off since the divorce and she's finally gotten to a place where she's made a name for herself and can be her own person. She's back to her old self and it's great to watch.&quot;]]></body_text>

<body_text><![CDATA[Wendy Williams has admitted her life completely flipped after she collapsed on her show&nbsp;The Wendy Williams Show&nbsp;in October.
The 53-year-old talk show host was forced to take a three-week hiatus from hosting the show when she collapsed live on air due to complications with her overactive thyroid and autoimmune disease Graves.
And, although she was first diagnosed with the condition 19 years ago, doctors have told her that her dramatic fall was because she was on the wrong dose of medication.
Speaking in a video message at the Graves' Disease &amp; Thyroid Foundation 2018 Patients and Family Conference, she said: &quot;Everything was fine. I had the radioactive iodine [medication], taking my pill a day, minding my own business.
&quot;Then back in the fall or maybe around July of last year, I started feeling weird in the head but I'm thinking, 'OK, this is maybe a casualty of menopause or we were ramping up for season nine of the&nbsp;Wendy Show'. So, it wasn't until I passed out on my own show [in October] that ... Anyway, life has completely changed.&quot;
Williams is now on the right medication but doctors have warned her that it can take up to a year for them settle back into her system and she's not to wear heels.
She said of the condition, which sometimes leaves her off balance: &quot;The doctors tell me it's going to take at least six months - maybe a year - to level off my medication, which is why I always wear flats. I'm not wearing heels and falling and tripping.&quot;
Williams admitted that she wouldn't have been able to get through the health scare if it wasn't for her husband Kevin Hunter because he had supported her the whole time.
She explained recently: &quot;My husband was extremely concerned. He's not just my husband, he's my business partner, one of the executive producers on the show and he's also my manager. He and I are glued at the hip. He was with me every step. For him, seeing me go through all of this, it's really been trying on him. I've been concerned about him. I'm like, 'Don't worry about me!'&quot;

<body_text><![CDATA[Colombian pop star Shakira has pulled a symbol once used by the Nazis from merchandise promoting her El Dorado world tour, promoter Live Nation said, after a backlash on social media.
Merchandise for Shakira's &quot;El Dorado World Tour&quot; included a necklace which people on social media highlighted as being similar to the Black Sun image used by the Nazis.
The artist's concert producer Live Nation dropped the necklace from sale two weeks after the tour opened June 3 in Germany.
&quot;The necklace Live Nation designed for Shakira's 'El Dorado World Tour' was based on Pre-Colombian imagery,&quot; the US company said on its Twitter account.
&quot;However, some fans have expressed concern that the design bears an unintentional resemblance to Neo-Nazi imagery. We sincerely apologize for this inadvertent similarity and have permanently pulled the item from the tour collection,&quot; it said.
Social media users have called Shakira a &quot;Nazi&quot; for putting the design on sale.
German news portal Bento stirred up the controversy. &quot;The symbol hides three swastikas. A simple search for images on Google or Wikipedia proves it, the Black Sun is a Nazi symbol.&quot;
The site also underlined that the solar wheel image is used by Neo-Nazi groups in the German states of Saxony and Brandenburg, although it is not banned, like the Swastika.
According to academic Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, professor of Western Esotericism at Exeter University, the black sun actually dates back to ornamental discs used by the Merovingians, a dynasty that ruled over what is now France and Germany for 300 years starting in the fifth century.
UNICEF goodwill ambassador Shakira, 41, has frequently spoken out against racism, including in a February 2017 article for Time Magazine against US President Donald Trump's immigration policy.]]></body_text>

<body_text><![CDATA[Joe Jackson, the father of Michael Jackson who created the Jackson 5 music family with iron will, died Wednesday, family members said. He was 89.
La Toya Jackson, one of his 11 children and also a pop singer, mourned her father and said she was &quot;extremely appreciative&quot; of him.
&quot;I will always love you! You gave us strength, you made us one of the most famous families in the world,&quot; she wrote on Twitter as she posted a segment on Oprah Winfrey's television network in which she is having lunch with her father.
Grandson Randy Jackson Jr tweeted, &quot;RIP to the king that made everything possible!!! I love you grandpa.&quot;
Family representatives did not return requests for detail on his death. But entertainment sites TMZ and ET said Jackson died Wednesday morning in Los Angeles after a battle with cancer.
Jackson himself hinted at his impending death in a tweet two days ago.
&quot;I have seen more sunsets than I have left to see. The sun rises when the time comes and whether you like it or not the sun sets when the time comes,&quot; he wrote.
A strict disciplinarian father of 11 children, the steel worker in Gary, Indiana turned into one of music history's most unlikely but most successful managers as he created The Jackson 5 from his family.
His most famous child, King of Pop Michael Jackson, would later break down in tears even as an adult when recalling his father beating him with his belt and, while publicly forgiving him, wrote him out of his will.]]></body_text>

<body_text><![CDATA[Sam Smith&nbsp;was able to enjoy a night out in Boston over the weekend without being bombarded by fans as no one recognised him.
The 26-year-old singer managed to enjoy a spontaneous night out in Massachusetts on Sunday without being disturbed by selfie-obsessed fans after he turned up with a small group of friends at Candibar in a black tracksuit and matching black t-shirt.
An eyewitness told&nbsp;PEOPLE: &quot;I don't believe he was drinking. I don't think people recognised him. I would have thought people would swarm him, but it didn't happen. The people he was with were trying to prevent people from taking photos/videos.&quot;
However, Sam's boyfriend&nbsp;13 Reasons Why&nbsp;actor Brandon Flynn - whom he has been dating for eight months - wasn't with him over the weekend and, instead, he enjoyed gay pride in New York with his co-stars Tommy Dorfman and Kate Walsh.
The insider explained: &quot;Brandon wasn't with them.&quot;
The couple's busy work schedules mean they often spend long periods of time apart but Sam recently said he is grateful that the 24-year-old actor &quot;understands&quot; his lifestyle.
He explained: &quot;Just like any relationship, it's important to have someone who understands your life. We are opposites but also similar in many ways and it is nice to have someone who understands -- especially with the travelling. I have a house in LA and am all over the place. It's great, we are young and it's good to travel.&quot;
And, although it's still early days for them, the&nbsp;Too Good At Goodbyes hitmaker would love to become a father one day - but for the time being he's considering get a dog with Brandon.
He said: &quot;I want a baby one day, it's always been a dream, but next stop is getting a dog.&quot;]]></body_text>

<description><![CDATA[Here are a few interesting facts about Grammy award winner Ed Sheeran ahead of his two-concert tour of South Africa in 2019.]]></description>
<body_text><![CDATA[Did you know that Ed Sheeran wants to do the music for a Disney film? No? Well he does.
That's just of the one interesting facts about the Grammy award winner we've dug up for you ahead of his two-concert tour of South Africa in 2019.
According to AEG and Big Concerts, the&nbsp;Shape of You&nbsp;hitmaker will be performing in Johannesburg on 23 March and Cape Town on 27 March.
Tickets for the Cape Town concert will go on sale 28 June.
A few facts on the singer.
1. Ed, whose full name is Edward Christopher Sheeran, received an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) medal for services to music and charity from Prince Charles on 7 December 2017 at Buckingham Palace.
2. Sheeran was named the world&rsquo;s best-selling artist of 2017 in March, thanks to his album&nbsp;Divide&nbsp;and singles&nbsp;Shape of You&nbsp;and&nbsp;Perfect.
The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) said&nbsp;Divide, which was released in 2017, went multi-Platinum in 36 nations. Sheeran&rsquo;s pop ballad&nbsp;Shape of You&nbsp;was also the best-selling single globally of 2017 and has been certified as multi-Platinum in 32 nations, the organisation said.
3. In January 2018, the singer confessed, during an interview, he is &ldquo;eternally jealous&rdquo; of his friend Sir Elton John because he got to write several tracks for 1994 Disney animation&nbsp;The Lion King. He went on to reveal his plans to step away from the music scene and focus on starting a family with his fianc&eacute;e.
4. Following his cameo on&nbsp;Game of Thrones, the singer was cast to play Lisa&rsquo;s love interest in&nbsp;The Simpsons.
5. The 25-year-old singer - who was raised in Suffolk - is a huge fan of the Hoax clothing line and in 2017 he invested in a fashion label from his hometown.
6. Despite his songs being popular among newlyweds because of the heartfelt lyrics and his soothing vocals, Sheeran is adamant he won&rsquo;t be playing any of his tracks when he ties the knot with his childhood sweetheart Cherry Seaborn this year.
7. In February 2018, a film about the singer was released. The movie&nbsp;Songwriter&nbsp;was directed by Sheeran&rsquo;s cousin, Murray Cummings, and follows the Grammy winner as he travels around the United States and England writing songs on his laptop, jamming in a garden and recording in the studio.]]></body_text>

<description><![CDATA[Kanye West suffered a nervous breakdown in 2016, and has now confessed to frequently experiencing suicidal thoughts.]]></description>
<body_text><![CDATA[Chart-topping rapper&nbsp;Kanye West&nbsp;has admitted he thinks about killing himself &quot;all the time&quot;.
The 41-year-old rapper - who is married to reality TV star&nbsp;Kim Kardashian West&nbsp;- suffered a nervous breakdown in 2016, and the&nbsp;Stronger&nbsp;hitmaker has now confessed to frequently experiencing suicidal thoughts.
He shared: &quot;I've thought about killing myself all the time. It's always an option and [expletive]. Like Louis C.K. said: I flip through the manual. I weigh all the options.&quot;
Kanye subsequently revealed the extent to which he's considered taking his own life.
Speaking to the&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;newspaper, the 'Famous' hitmaker explained: &quot;I'm just having this epiphany now, 'cause I didn't do it, but I did think it all the way through.
&quot;But if I didn't think it all the way through, then it's actually maybe more of a chance of it happening.&quot;
Kanye - who has kids North, five, Saint, two, and five-month-old Chicago - also revealed he feared his wife would end their relationship following his controversial interview with TMZ, in which he made inflammatory comments about slavery, earlier this year.
He confessed: &quot;There was a moment where I felt like after TMZ, maybe a week after that, I felt like the energy levels were low, and I called different family members and was asking, you know, 'Was Kim thinking about leaving me after TMZ?' So that was a real conversation.&quot;
What's more, Kanye tried to clarify his thoughts on slavery, having previously suggested it was a choice for many African-Americans.
Asked how he would frame his view if he was given the chance, Kanye said: &quot;I wouldn't frame a one-liner or a headline. What I would say is actually it's literally like I feel like I'm in court having to justify a robbery that I didn't actually commit, where I'm having to somehow reframe something that I never said.
&quot;I feel stupid to have to say out loud that I know that being put on the boat was - but also I'm not backing down, bro. What I will do is I'll take responsibility for the fact that I allowed my voice to be used back to back in ways that were not protective of it when my voice means too much.&quot;
Asked what he meant by &quot;back to back&quot;, Kanye added: &quot;Wearing the [Donald Trump] hat, because my voice is unprotected, and I believe that the black community wants to protect my voice. By me saying slave in any way at TMZ left my voice unprotected.
&quot;So it's not a matter of the facts of if I said that exact line or not, it's the fact that I put myself in a position to be unprotected by my tribe.&quot;]]></body_text>

<body_text><![CDATA[Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie have married at a ceremony in Aberdeenshire.
The couple - who played on-screen lovers Jon Snow and Ygritte - met on the fantasy show in 2012.
Guests lined the path outside Rayne Church, near Inverurie, showering the newly-weds with flower petal confetti.
The couple then got into an old Land Rover decorated with paper hearts and tin cans as they drove to the reception at nearby Wardhill Castle.
The guests included fellow Game of Thrones stars Peter Dinklage, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner and Emilia Clarke.
Earlier the bride and groom, Harrington dressed in a morning suit and the bride in a flowing ivory dress and veil, had greeted dozens of fans and other wellwishers.
The reception was held in the grounds of Wardhill Castle, which is owned by the actress's father, Seb Leslie.
The&nbsp;engagement&nbsp;was announced last September.
The actress grew up in Aberdeenshire before moving to London to pursue her career.
The couple have often been seen together in the north east of Scotland.
The 23 June date was posted at the Huntly registration office last month
Leslie left the cast two years after they met, while Harington has appeared in every series of the popular TV drama, becoming one of the show's biggest stars.
Harington&nbsp;told L'Uomo Vogue&nbsp;it was &quot;easy&quot; to fall in love with his co-star.
He said his best memory of the show was three weeks in Iceland when they filmed the second season.
&quot;Because the country is beautiful, because the Northern Lights are magical, and because it was there that I fell in love,&quot; he recalled.
&quot;If you're already attracted to someone, and then they play your love interest in the show, it becomes very easy to fall in love.&quot;]]></body_text>

<body_text><![CDATA[Reality TV star Kim Kardashian West has returned to Paris for the first time since she was tied up and robbed at gunpoint in her hotel room in the French capital city.
The 37-year-old reality star was the victim of a horrific ordeal in October 2016 when she was tied up and robbed at gunpoint when a gang of thieves burst into her hotel room and stole millions of dollars worth of jewellery.
However, on Thursday she made the brave decision to head back to the French capital as she watched Virgil Abloh's Louis Vuitton debut at fashion brand's Men's Show in Paris.
She tweeted: &quot;Thank you Paris for the emotional trip back! I couldn't have come for a better reason....off to Teyana's listening party in LA now! 2 major experiences in 2 countries all in the same day! (sic)&quot;
Despite the return to the city no doubt being an emotional one for Kim, she took the time to tweet her congratulations to Abloh, who was named Louis Vuitton's artistic director earlier this year.
She added: &quot;Congrats @virgilabloh on your history making @LouisVuitton Men's Show!&quot;
Her appearance in Paris comes after the&nbsp;Keeping Up With The Kardashians&nbsp;star insisted she has become a &quot;better person&quot; since the robbery.
She explained to&nbsp;Business of Fashion&nbsp;magazine: &quot;It was supposed to happen to me. I was supposed to learn a lot from that. [Those] little signs along the way, you really do have to pay attention.
&quot;And for me that made me a better person morally and just for the things that are important to me; how I'm going to raise my kids or just what I care to show.
&quot;I'm really cautious of all of that now. I don't really post in real time anymore. I just don't like people knowing my every move.&quot;]]></body_text>
