<p>Singer Michael Buble, who releases his new album 'Love' next month, has spoken about putting his career on hold after his son Noah was diagnosed with liver cancer.</p>

<p>"When you experience something that my family has experienced, it has to change you," he said on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
The Canadian singer announced in November 2016 that his oldest son Noah, who was three at the time, had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing treatment.</p>

<p>"For me, that just made things a lot clearer," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Look! I don't have time. Life is too short to worry and worry what people think about you and say about you,'' said the singer.<br />
<br />
"I think it's just important to be free and somehow find happiness, however, you have to do that, however, you make that happen, whatever you need. For me, I feel like I wasn't willing to let my joy be robbed by anything or anyone and I sort of just tried to let go."<br />
<br />
The 43-year-old singer, who released his new single 'Love You Anymore,' written by Charlie Puth, a few days ago, was humble about his experiences.<br />
<br />
"There's not one of us that life leaves alone in that way," he said. "That is life and I feel really a gratitude, I learned what the word grace meant to me and I just think that every family handles it differently and to the best of their ability.<br />
<br />
"I think it's important for all of us to try our best, to be able to look ahead, to try not to dwell too much in the past," he added.<br />
<br />
The singer recently dismissed reports published in the Daily Mail that he was retiring from music.<br />

<p>Last year, 1980s British pop band Bros took to the stage for the first time in more than 25 years, since singing twins Matt and Luke Goss went their separate ways.<br />
<br />
Now a new documentary charts that reunion, an experience the brothers say brought them close together again.<br />
<br />
'After The Screaming Stops' takes a look at how the duo, who each pursued separate careers after they stopped playing together in 1992, prepared to perform in August 2017, 28 years after performing at Wembley Arena to an audience of 77,000.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Bros, known for songs such as 'When Will I Be Famous?' and 'I Owe You Nothing', formed in 1986 with bassist Craig Logan, who left after three years.<br />
<br />
''It was definitely a tumultuous experience ... It was also something that I won`t to do again but I am really proud of the result," Matt Goss said of the documentary at the BFI London Film Festival on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
"It's raw and it's certainly something that isn't in any way staged."<br />
<br />
'After The Screaming Stops' looks at the fame the brothers enjoyed in their hey-day, when fans waited outside their home for a sight of the heartthrobs, as well as how they grew apart after the group separated.<br />
<br />
Matt Goss carved out a solo career and has performed in Las Vegas, while Luke Goss turned to won't, starring in films such as 'Blade II' and 'Hellboy II'.<br />
<br />
The film shows the two brothers bickering during reunion rehearsals as well as getting emotional as they arrive at their concert venue, London's O2 arena.</p>

<p>"I think strangely, we confessed a lot of stuff on camera, stuff that we didn`t maybe have the courage or there wasn't enough medication to get through," Matt Goss said.<br />
<br />
Asked if Bros would perform again following the stage reunion, the brothers said they would.<br />
<br />
"We're going on tour in 2019 for sure," Matt Goss said.<br />
<br />
"Lots of venues and maybe even some festivals and then once that beautiful year of playing live all over the world, we`re then going to bring that ... kind of vibe and energy right into the studio," Luke Goss added.<br />

<p>Guitarist Lindsey Buckingham has sued his former Fleetwood Mac bandmates, accusing them of breach of contract for cutting him out of their North American tour and the millions of dollars he would have earned from it.<br />
<br />
Buckingham, 69, one of the most influential members of the British-American band behind hits like 'Don't Stop' and 'Rhiannon,' was dropped earlier this year from the tour lineup.<br />
<br />
In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Buckingham said the dispute stemmed from a clash between the planned 2018/19 Fleetwood Mac tour and Buckingham`s wishes to play some solo dates.<br />
<br />
The lawsuit claimed that each member of the group would have earned about $12 million to $14 million for the 50-city tour, which kicked off last week.<br />
<br />
The other band members "intentionally acted to interfere with Buckingham’s relationship with (concert promoters) Live Nation and the prospective economic benefit he was to receive as a result of his participation in the tour,” the lawsuit said.<br />
<br />
Buckingham said he learned he had been dropped two days after a Grammy Musicares celebration in New York in January 2018 honouring the main members of the band - Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, and Buckingham.<br />
<br />
"Less than a week after having shared a stage at Musicares, the other members of Fleetwood Mac had suddenly cut Buckingham off entirely," the lawsuit said.<br />
<br />
Representatives of the band had no immediate comment on the lawsuit on Thursday.<br />
<br />
Fleetwood Mac, which first formed in 1967, has been plagued by behind-the-scenes romantic and creative tensions among its members and a shifting lineup over the years.<br />
<br />
Buckingham included in the lawsuit a copy of an email he sent to Fleetwood in February, begging the band to overcome its differences.<br />
<br />
"After 43 years and the finish line clearly in sight, it is hard to escape the conclusion that for the five of us to splinter apart now would be the wrong thing," he wrote.<br />
<br />
"If there is a way to work this through, I believe we must try. I love you no matter what," he wrote.<br />
<br />
In an interview earlier this week with Rolling Stone magazine, Buckingham blamed Nicks, his former girlfriend, for the rift, saying he was told by the band`s manager that Nicks was angry when Buckingham smirked while she was giving a speech at the January Grammy event.</p>

<p>British director Steve McQueen opened the BFI London Film Festival on Wednesday with the heist movie 'Widows', kicking off the 12-day event which organisers said this year prides itself on promoting women filmmakers.<br />
<br />
At London's central Leicester Square, McQueen was joined on the red carpet by cast members Oscar winner Viola Davis, 'Black Panther'&nbsp;actor Daniel Kaluuya and 'Fast and Furious'&nbsp;regular Michelle Rodriguez.<br />
<br />
The thriller, which tells the story of a group of widows planning a heist to pay off a debt left by a crime committed by their dead husbands, is McQueen`s first major feature film since 2013`s Oscar-winning '12 Years a Slave'.<br />
<br />
Adapted from a 1980s television series by British crime writer Lynda La Plante, the Chicago-set movie touches on gender, race, politics and crime.<br />
<br />
"It would have been disingenuous to not address all those issues because it`s coursing through every fiber of American culture so it should be a part of our story telling," Davis told Reuters.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Davis, who is black, said she felt very excited when she read the script, adding: "It becomes a no-brainer ... I always say if I turned this role down it probably would have gone to a Caucasian actress."<br />
<br />
The movie features a strong female cast and other Hollywood names such as Liam Neeson, Robert Duvall and Colin Farrell. McQueen described it as a "rollercoaster ride through our environment".<br />
<br />
"People are saying about this picture, `Oh great, they`re making movies with female leads`. In the 30s, 40s and 50s, they used to do it all the time," he said. "They were stars who were icons. Why aren`t they doing it anymore? I don`t know."<br />
<br />
Though smaller than its peers in Cannes and Venice, the BFI London Film Festival attracts its own share of glamour with many celebrities promoting their movies.<br />
<br />
This year`s event includes the world premieres of World War One film 'They Shall Not Grow Old'&nbsp;by 'Lord of the Rings'&nbsp;director Peter Jackson and 'Stan &amp; Ollie'&nbsp;about the comedy duo Laurel and Hardy.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'The Favourite', starring 'The Crown'&nbsp;actress Olivia Colman and Oscar winners Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, also features, as does Keira Knightley`s latest period drama 'Colette'.<br />
<br />
Organisers said the spotlight would also shine on women filmmakers.<br />
<br />
"This year (we`re) really proud of the fact that 38 per cent of the films in the festival are from female directors or female co-directors," festival artistic director Tricia Tuttle said. "It`s been really important to us to find and champion female filmmakers."<br />

<p>Actress Pamela Anderson joined animal rights campaigners in Paris Wednesday, posing inside a cage to protest the caging of animals in European farming.</p>

<p>The former Baywatch star was backing a campaign by Compassion in World Farming to get a million signatures in seven EU countries in support of their bid to end the practice.</p>

<p>"I don't think any animal belongs in a cage for entertainment or for what we wear or what we eat," she told reporters.</p>

<p>"All of our choices are important and we have to be more conscious of our decisions," she added. "Animal welfare has come a long way, but we have a long way to go."</p>

<p>The petition is part of the European Citizens' Initiative, which means that if they can raise a million signatures within a year the European Commission will have to consider the issue.</p>

<p>The organisers say they have the support of 140 organisations, including in France the Brigitte Bardot Foundation and PETA.</p>

<p>Anderson is currently taking part in the French edition of the television programme Dancing with the Stars.</p>

<p>Lady Gaga, Serena Williams, Harry Styles and Gucci's star designer Alessandro Michele will co-chair next year's Met Gala with Anna Wintour, museum officials said Tuesday.</p>

<p>Organized every year by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Gala is a fundraising dinner for its Costume Institute.</p>

<p>It is run by Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, whose influence is such that the space dedicated to the Costume Institute since 2014 has been called the Anna Wintour Costume Center.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trading shrewdly on her name, the high priestess of fashion has managed to turn the event into a can't-miss collision of the creative world from fashion to film to theatre to the TV to the sport -- and anyone ready to pay for the 30,000-dollar ticket.</p>

<p>The theme of May 6, 2019, Gala will be camp style, as defined by US writer Susan Sontag.</p>

<p>"Camp's disruptive nature and subversion of modern aesthetic values has often been trivialized, but this exhibition will reveal its profound influence on both high art and popular culture," said Max Hollein, director of The Met.</p>

<p>Over the years, Barbie has taken on many roles: beach beauty, scientist, even president of the United States. And now, she will work to help young girls close the so-called "Dream Gap."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The doll's maker Mattel on Tuesday announced a sweeping campaign in collaboration with university researchers to teach young girls to believe in themselves, and not to buy into sexist gender stereotypes.</p>

<p>"Research has identified that starting at age five, many girls are less likely than boys to view their own gender as smart and begin to lose confidence in their own competence," Mattel said in a statement.</p>

<p>The company will fund research and work on "rallying a community around supporting girls" through its multi-year Dream Gap Project.</p>

<p>Mattel unveiled a new ad featuring young girls holding placards that read "Close the Dream Gap" and ties into Barbie's "You Can Be Anything" campaign.</p>

<p>The brand is working with researchers at New York University and hopes to extend that initiative in other partnerships around the world.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It also will highlight "at least 10 empowering female role models each year globally."</p>

<p>Though Barbie is often criticised for perpetuating negative stereotypes with her impossibly lean physique, the brand has worked hard in recent years to portray a modern image.</p>

<p>In early 2016, the California-based company launched Barbie versions in three different body shapes -- tall, petite and curvy -- and in seven different skin tones.</p>

<p>This year's featured career is the robotics engineer. Another new line showcased "Inspiring Women" such as aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart and black NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson.</p>

<p>"Since 1959, Barbie has inspired the limitless potential in every girl," said Lisa McKnight, general manager and senior vice president for Barbie at Mattel.</p>

<p>"We believe that empowering them at a young age is a catalyst to unlocking their full potential."</p>

<p>In July, Mattel announced that it was cutting 2,200 jobs after reporting another steep quarterly loss, despite rising Barbie sales.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The company, which also produces Matchbox cars and Fisher-Price educational toys, has faced tough competition from video game makers and other electronic toys.<br />

<p>Singer Taylor Swift has now come out after breaking her age old refusal to talk about politics by endorsing Tennessee Democrats Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper, who are running for Senate and House of Representatives, respectively.</p>

<p>Swift paired social media and social activism in a lengthy Instagram post on Sunday evening. One month before the midterm elections, she endorsed the two Democrats and entreated her followers to register and show up to the polls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country," she wrote in a lengthy post.</p>

<p>"I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent."</p>

<p>"In the past I've been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now," Swift wrote in an Instagram post.</p>

<p>The pop star - who spent later years growing up in Tennessee - also slammed Republican candidate and US Rep. Marsha Blackburn in her lengthy post on Sunday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"These are not MY Tennessee values."</p>

In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent. I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway. So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! 🗳😃🌈</a></p>

Singer Taylor Swift has now come out after breaking her age old refusal to talk about politics by endorsing Tennessee Democrats Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper, who are running for Senate and House of Representatives, respectively. Swift paired social media and social activism in a lengthy Instagram post on Sunday evening. One month before the midterm elections, she endorsed the two Democrats and entreated her followers to register and show up to the polls. "I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country," she wrote in a lengthy post. "I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent." "In the past I've been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now," Swift wrote in an Instagram post. The pop star - who spent later years growing up in Tennessee - also slammed Republican candidate and US Rep. Marsha Blackburn in her lengthy post on Sunday. "As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape.

<p>&nbsp;Former rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight was sentenced in a Los Angeles courtroom on Thursday (October 4) to 28 years in prison for manslaughter in the death of a man he ran over with his pickup truck outside a hamburger stand in 2015.</p>

<p>The sentence appeared to forestall any chance of a future recording business comeback for Knight, 53, known as much for repeated run-ins with the law as for his career as a hip-hop executive promoting the likes of Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre and Tupac Shakur during the 1990s.</p>

<p>The co-founder of the influential label Death Row Records pleaded no contest on Sept. 20 to one count of voluntary manslaughter for the hit-and-run killing of 55-year-old Terry Carter.</p>

<p>He admitted then to using a "deadly and dangerous weapon" on Jan. 29, 2015, when he ran down two men with his pickup truck in an altercation outside Tam's Burgers that spilt over from a quarrel on the nearby set of a TV commercial for the film "Straight Outta Compton."</p>

<p>Carter later died of his injuries. The second man, Cle "Bone" Sloan, was left with a badly mangled left foot and head injuries. Knight, who was out on bail in a robbery case at the time, fled the scene but was later arrested.</p>

<p>Seated beside his lawyer and wearing an orange jail uniform and horned-rimmed glasses, the burly, bald ex-college football player showed no visible emotion as the sentence was pronounced. He did not address the court.</p>

<p>Knight previously served more than half of a nine-year term for violating the probation he received in 1995 for an assault on two aspiring rappers at a Hollywood recording studio.</p>

<p>The probation violation stemmed from a scuffle involving Knight at a Las Vegas hotel in September 1996, hours before Shakur was shot to death while riding in a car with Knight on the Las Vegas Strip. Knight was slightly wounded in the attack.</p>

Oscar winner Ben Affleck is out of rehab, calls addiction a lifelong struggle

<p>'Venom' star Tom Hardy revealed in a television show recently that he was addicted to alcohol and cocaine so much so that he took them on daily basis.<br />
The 'Venom' actor opened up on a candid show called 'Good Morning Britain' about his past struggles and how he was a 'bog standard alcoholic' and how he suffered in the wake of grim crises.<br />
&nbsp;His struggle in the past lend a massive support in forming up the character that he had to essay, that of a person with a disturbed psyche&nbsp;in the new horror film 'Venom', in which he plays an investigative journalist whose body is invaded by an alien.<br />
Hardy, who does not drink at present, said, "For me, obviously, I`m a bog standard alcoholic for my whole life as it were, I`m in recovery now.<br />
"There are elements of that, `Okay, that`s my inside voice, normally I would act out on that but that`s not very good for me as a human being,` but this isn`t me. This is a superhero entity thing. But I can see the symbolism there, `Oh there`s a grown-up, there`s a man, I can`t go out and bite people`s heads off`."<br />
Hardy's hardships started when he was just 11 and was given reminders by the policeman who visited his school to talk about the dangers of sniffing glue.&nbsp;</p>
