Justin Bieber viewing $11m mansion

Justin Bieber has been looking at an $11 million mansion in Atlanta.
The 'Confident' singer has been to view the huge property in the exclusive Buckhead district - where his mentor, Usher, lives - and is keen to move to the city to be close to its famous hip-hop scene. 
The house the singer is interested in has seven bedrooms and is16,000 square feet in size, according to TMZ.com.
Justin, 19, is said to be selling his home in Calabasas, California, after falling out with his neighbours over his partying and loud music, which came to a head with an incident where one of his neighbour's houses was egged, causing up to $20,000 of damage. The matter is currently being investigated by the District Attorney and could result in charges brought against the star.
Criteria listed for any potential new home for Justin includes the property must not be visible from the street and must preferably have at least five acres around it and be a minimum of 10,000 square feet inside. 
The singer is said to be looking at houses listed for between $4 and $10 million and is also searching for a second home in the Los Angeles area, as well as looking at 20 acre estates in the Hidden Valley area.
Justin recently paid a visit to Atlanta where he was seen partying with P. Diddy, T.I. and Rick Ross. 
While in the city he wrote on Twitter: 'Back in my second home. Good to be back. Focused on building up positive energy'
Atlanta was the first place Justin - who was raised in London, Ontario - lived when he moved to the US from Canada to embark on his music career

Lindsay Lohan is losing roles because of ‘unreliable reputation

Lindsay Lohan can't get work because she has an 'unreliable reputation', director Paul Schrader has claimed. 
The 27-year-old actress' last feature was erotic thriller 'The Canyons' and she failed to show up at the film's premiere at the Venice Film Festival last year, despite Schrader - who helmed the project - changing the location to suit her.
The 67-year-old filmmaker believes Lindsay's unpredictable behaviour is the reason the former child star is now losing out on roles she would be perfect for. 
In an interview with The Independent Magazine, he said: 'When you are working with someone who lives in a world of crisis and unpredictability, you're never really relaxed. You never know from one moment to the next. That's why Lindsay can't get hired. She can't get insured because she has an unpredictable reputation.'
Despite having his own frustrations with the 'Mean Girls' star, Schrader thinks Lindsay - who has been in rehab and jail on several occasions - is a remarkable actress but believes she will only be successful again when she learns to keep her personal and professional lives separate. 
He added: 'She is so f***ing charismatic. You can't take your eyes off her. She has that thing that we watch in movies - which is all the more pity that she can't separate her personal from her professional life.'

John Travolta thanks Tarantino for saving his career

John Travolta admits he owes Quentin Tarantino for resurrecting his career.
The actor was going through a slump for several years before the director cast him as hitman Vincent Vega in his critically acclaimed crime movie 'Pulp Fiction', which was released in 1994.
Travolta, 59, can't thank Tarantino enough for choosing him for the highly coveted role - for which he earned a Best Actor Oscar nomination.
Speaking on Sunday night (16.02.14) at his 'A Conversation with John Travolta' QA session at the Theatre Royal in London, he said: 'There were people who were much hotter than me who wanted the role ... But Quentin put his career on the line and refused to make the movie without me in it.'
Travolta admitted the years preceding 'Pulp Fiction' were a lean time for his career and he suffered a crisis in confidence in his on screen ability, despite his revered performances in movies such as 'Grease'.
He added: 'It got a little complicated for a few years. A lot of things added up to a five-year period that wasn't so good for me.'
Apart from his Academy Award nomination for 'Pulp Fiction', Travolta has only ever been up for an Oscar one other time - for his portrayal of Tony Manero in 'Saturday Night Fever' - but he is not bitter about his lack of recognition.
Being quizzed by host Barry Norman, he said: 'I don't feel at all ignored or not verified. You're not going to find a bitter guy in me.'
At the end of the event - which also saw the Hollywood star take questions from fans - Travolta was presented with an airplane-shaped birthday cake ahead of him turning 60 on February 18.

Prince William calls for destruction of Buckingham Palace ivory

Britain's Prince William has called for all the ivory in Buckingham Palace to be destroyed.
The Duke of Cambridge recently launched the charity United for Wildlife - which aims to end the illegal wildlife trade - and the second-in-line to the throne now revealed that he wants all of the ivory at the royal residence to be removed to encourage people to take up the fight against poaching. 
The royal collection is comprised of approximately 1,200 items spanning over hundreds of years, including a throne from India, and William hopes if the British royal family set an example it will persuade other heads of state to follow suit. 
Leading primatologist Jane Goodall told the Independent on Sunday newspaper that William - whose wife is Duchess Catherine - had personally informed her he would 'like to see all the ivory owned by Buckingham Palace destroyed'.
The prince's wish comes just days after he attended the world's largest ever conference on the issue at London's Zoological Society which called for an end to the £12 billion illegal trade in animals and their body parts. The campaign was highly successful last year with at least 45 tons of ivory seized in what's believed to have been the largest haul in 250 years.
William's father Prince Charles has also been encouraging the move and is believed to have asked for ivory items at Clarence House and his Highgrove property to be put out of sight over the last few years but experts say William's plans for destruction will send a powerful message to the world. 
William, 31, attracted criticism ahead of his speech at United for Wildlife when he photographed hunting for boar in Spain with his brother Prince Harry, 29.

Victoria Beckham happiest in America

Victoria Beckham was happiest when she lived in the US. 
The singer-turned-fashion-designer and her family moved to California when her husband David went to play for soccer team LA Galaxy in 2007 and she found it the ideal place to grow her business.
She told Allure magazine: 'Living in America for six years was the happiest I think I've ever been. It was much more accepting for a woman to have a career, as well as a man. And I loved it.'
Victoria - who has children Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 11, Cruz, eight, and two-year-old daughter Harper with David - says they are both supportive of each other's work and have a great home life.
She added: 'David is the most wonderful man I have ever met. He's a fantastic father. He's incredibly talented, a wonderful husband. I supported him for many years, and he's proud of me. He supports me. We're very equal at home.'
Victoria was a star in her own right as a member of girl group Spice Girls when she met David, and although it may have taken a long time to make the transition into fashion, after much hard work it has paid off. 
She added: 'I was never a natural. I got there in the end because I did believe that if you work hard enough, then you can achieve a lot.'
