James Bond Spectre Royal premiere

London’s Royal Albert Hall was the place to be as the stars of Spectre hit the red carpet for the Royal premiere.

Daniel Craig, the man of the moment, said: “It’s just fantastic to see everybody out tonight. I’m very excited and I can’t wait for people to see the movie.”

The 47-year-old made his feelings clear: “I’m just incredibly proud of the movie and the people who made the movie.”

Talking about the franchise, he said: “We just try and make them as real as possible. There are different sides of his character we explore in this one.”

Daniel revealed that he’s not worried about comparisons to Skyfall’s success: “It’s a really good pressure to have,” he said. “I’m blessed to work with these people.”

Daniel also paid tribute to director Sam Mendes: “I love working with Sam. Our relationship has grown over these movies and I would work on any movie with him.”

However the star, who also has a producer credit for Spectre, revealed that he’s rather shy: “I hate watching myself on screen, but I love playing James Bond.”

“I’m very proud and I’m quite nervous, but I’m used to theatre where everything can go wrong,” the Bond director said.

He added: “I want people to like it, it’s as simple as that. I sweated blood over it for two years.”

Lea Seydoux

The French actress, who plays Madeleine Swann, looked awed. “I’m very proud to be here tonight.” When asked if she was happy to be a Bond girl, the star said: “It’s a dream come true. I can’t really believe it. I’m not a Bond girl; I’m a blonde girl!”

The actor, who plays Oberhauser, gave his opinion of the swanky premiere: “This is Bond, this is what one should expect for James Bond.

“It was very hard work, it was long work, but that’s how it should be.”

Dave Bautista

Spectre’s Mr Hinx was asked how it feels to play a Bond villain: “I didn’t get hurt, I got beat up! It was worth it at the end of the day, it was absolutely worth it.”

The actress playing Spectre’s Lucia Sciarra said: “I wanted to be part of this tradition, there’s a huge tradition. Plus the chance to work with Sam Mendes, plus the opportunity to work with Daniel Craig, he’s a tremendous Bond.”

Naomie Harris

The British star, who plays Eve Moneypenny, was very excited about the film. “I haven’t seen it yet, been waiting to see it with my family.”

She added: “This is a premiere unlike any other, it’s huge and amazing and it’s amazing everyone has come out to support the film and they’re so enthusiastic about it, it’s incredible.”

Spectre’s Denbigh loved the movie. “It’s absolutely epic, I think people are going to go nuts for it,” he predicted.

The star, who is a very human M, said of Spectre: “Great stunts, it’s very well crafted, it’s brilliantly made.”

Ben Whishaw

The Bond franchise’s Q was asked why Bond continues to be popular: “I’m not completely sure I have the answer, but I think because everyone has grown up with it, it has this nostalgic thing and you know what you’re going to get, but it’s going to be slightly different every time.”

He added: “It’s just very deeply in people’s lives. I like his clobber, it’s not my favourite part of the thing, but I enjoy that everybody enjoys it, I love the acting bit with Daneil and with Ralph and Rory and Naomie, and working with Sam Mendes.”

Rory Kinnear

Spectre’s Bill Tanner said: “It’s nice that they keep asking me. I don’t want this to stop. They don’t make movies like this any more.”

Chris Brown lets Royalty

Chris Brown lets Royalty scribble on leather seats of his expensive car collection

Chris Brown is apparently letting his daughter scribble and play on his expensive cars. Rihanna’s former boyfriend is embracing his responsibilities as a father and taking care of Royalty.Chris is known for his ultimate car collection and for keeping them clean as a whistle – not anymore,” a source told Hollywood Life. “Royalty’s turned one of his rides into her school on wheels. The backseat is filled with her toys, crayons and colouring books. But instead of colouring in the books, she likes to take her pen and create on his leather seats! And surprisingly, he lets her...............

“He thinks [Royalty drawing on his car] is a form of expression and at the end of the day, he can replace those seats,” the insider added. “There are also customised TVs in the headrests of one of his SUVs so Royalty can watch her edutainment shows. Chris has a slew of edutainment DVDs in his SUV. There’s alphabet songs, number riddles and this cool little rhyme that these animated beavers do as they rap about all the different shapes and colours.”

Chris loves singing along to one of the alphabet songs with Royalty,” the source continued. “It’s the most precious thing ever. And whenever she counts to five on her fingers, he looks at her in the mirror on his windshield, smiles at her and gives her the biggest kiss ever. When he does that to her, she giggles, and covers her face with her hands.”

Earlier this year, the Say Goodbye singer discovered that he was a father to a little girl. Following that, Karrueche Tran announced her split with Brown by declaring she did not want “baby drama”. In August, Brown had lashed out at the mother of his child, Nia Guzman, for allegedly using Royalty, as a “meal ticket”.

America’s Next Top Model

America’s Next Top Model may be out of ideas for future cycles – hence, why it’s coming to an end after 12 years – but the Top Model franchises abroad are more relevant than ever.

“I think it’s time. You want to leave while you’re on top,” Tyra Banks told ET at Monday night’s Paley Center Tribute to African-American Achievements in TV, calling the end of ANTM “bittersweet.” “What are we going to do? We’ve done girls, guys, guys and girls, we can’t do children…I think we’ve done enough.”

“However, Top Model is in 180 countries,” the host and executive producer was quick to add. “We have Norway’s Next Top Model, and Asia’s Next Top Model, and Australia’s Next Top Model, and Italy’s Next Top Model. The list goes on and on and on, so it’s still an international juggernaut.”

 6 Horrible Things That Happened to ‘Top Model’ Contestants

Meanwhile, one of those international editions, Holland’s Next Top Model, just broke new ground when they crowned the franchise’s first transgender winner, 20-year-old Loiza Lameras.

Lameras joined the 10th cycle of the Dutch installment and didn’t come out as trans until halfway through the competition.

Now, “I’m really at a point where I can say I am very proud to be transgender,” the model explained to Dutch newspaper, De Telegraff. “For me [being on Top Model] is a reward for my transition.”

6 ‘Top Model’ Contestants Who Actually Became Famous

Lameras isn’t the first trans contestant to compete on the show, as America’s Next Top Model’s 11th cycle featured model Isis King, who placed 10th, then returned for the All Stars Cycle. King went on to become the first transgender model to work with American Apparel 

and still has fond memories of her time on the show, saying it was an honor.
