Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is obsessed with junk food.
The Victoria’s Secret model – who is famed for her curvaceous figure – is missing British cuisine since relocating to the US and loves eating things which are “really, really bad” for her.
She told Maxim magazine: “I love eating really, really bad things, like roast dinners and chocolate bread and butter pudding.
“It’s my soul, England. I miss the people, the culture, the food.
“I find it strange that people say English food is bad. To me, it’s delicious. I’ve never really considered it but I was thinking the other day that maybe it’s strange to have beans on toast for breakfast.”
Although the stunning 24-year-old beauty has never worried about her weight she has previously revealed she was advised to work out if she wanted to succeed in her chosen career.
She said: “I can’t remember a time where I really battled with my body, but I can remember being asked to lose weight and battling with the advice.
“It hurt me. Especially as my baby fat naturally melted away as I got older.
“When I started out, I was definitely heavier. I was quite voluptuous in fact. I had a real baby face and baby fat.
“But I was a baby! I was told I had to get into better shape, but I’m quite stubborn so I didn’t.”

Jimmy Choo is launching a capsule collection based on its most memorable styles.
The shoe label – run by British executive Tamara Mellon – has collated a number of famous items including a feather sandal worn by Carrie Bradshaw in ‘Sex and the City’ and a peep-toe once worn by Natalie Portman for the set, which will also feature re-worked new versions of old classics.
Tamara said: “I wanted to create a modern capsule collection by memorable styles from our history that represented milestone moments for the brand and embody the DNA of our house style.
“These modern interpretations of classic designs represent the iconic glamour of Jimmy Choo today.”
The collection will be able to be seen in a book, Jimmy Choo XV, which will be available from February next year.
The footwear brand was recently sold to luxury goods group Labelux for $855 million, with Tamara saying she was “delighted” to be part of the business family.
She said: “I am immensely proud of all we have achieved over the last 15 years and delighted we are to be part of Labelux, a partner that I know shares our values and passion and [that] seeks ambitious growth in the luxury industry.
“This is wonderful news for the women who are, or who aspire to become, part of the Jimmy Choo lifestyle.”
Emma Watson is reportedly dating her ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ co-star Johnny Simmon.
The 21-year-old actress – who shot to fame playing Hermione Granger in the ‘Harry Potter’ films – is said to have fallen for the 24-year-old actor on the set of the drama movie, which is being shot in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the pair are already very close.
A source said told HollywoodLife.com: “Emma and Johnny met shooting ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ and have gotten serious fast. She loves how down to earth and normal he is and thinks he’s the nicest guy. He feels the same way about her. She doesn’t act like she’s one of the biggest stars in the world.”
Although the relationship is still in its early stages, the pair are said to have become virtually inseparable
A second source said: “They have really fallen for one another and both aren’t dating anyone else. She once said she’d never move to LA, but I think she’s reconsidering … especially because Johnny lives in Los Angeles.”
Emma previously dated financier Jay Barrymore but their two-year relationship ended in March 2010 after two years.
Reese Witherspoon’s donkeys are annoying her neighbours with their loud hee-haws.
The ‘Water for Elephants’ star has two donkeys, Honky and Tonky, on her ranch in Ojai, California, but the pair of animals are so noisy a group of local residents have sent her a letter asking her to do something about the unsociable asses.
One infuriated neighbour told Us Weekly magazine: “It’s so bad that a few residents have sent her a letter.”
While another source added: “They’re driving us crazy!”
However, the disgruntled residents want Reese – who lives on the ranch with her husband Jim Toth and her son Deacon, seven, and daughter Ava, 11, her children with ex-spouse Ryan Phillippe – to know they have no problem with her personally, just her high decibel donkeys.
Another neighbour insisted: “She’s beloved here. I’m not even sure she knows what’s going on.”
The 35-year-old actress keeps a variety of animals on the ranch – which served as her wedding venue when she and Hollywood agent Jim tied the knot in March – including pigs Booker T. Washington and Lavender Valentine, goats George and Martha Washington, the donkeys, chickens, a horse and three dogs.
She previously said: “I have animal friends, I have donkeys, I have goats, I have pigs … The goats are kind of worthless. They’re pretty nasty and don’t do anything. But I have chickens and they provide eggs.”

Agyness Deyn is returning to Select Model Management from Models 1.
The British model – who shot to fame as the face of Burberry and became a Vogue cover star after signing for Select in 2002 before leaving them for Models 1 – decided to return to the agency because they are “a safe pair of hands”.
She explained: “Select were the agency who launched my career and I feel in very safe hands with them. It feels right to be here – it’s like coming home.”
Select Women’s founder and director Chrissie Castagnetti added: “We’re delighted that Agyness is back under our guidance. There are not enough British models showcased in fashion right now and whilst we’re proud of all our girls, we have always had a passion for home grown talent and Agyness embodies that. It’s great to be working with her again.”
However, while she has become one of Britain’s most successful models, Agyness – real name Laura Hollins – insists she has no interest in the industry that made her name and won’t pursue a catwalk career forever.
She said: “You know, even though I’m in fashion, I don’t, like, do fashion. Fashion isn’t me, even though I work in it. It’s just materialistic stuff. I just want to do whatever makes me happy.”

Jennifer Aniston would have been an interior designer if she failed as an actress.
The 42-year-old beauty shot to fame playing Rachel Green in ‘Friends’ for 10 seasons and since the series ended in 2004 she has become an established Hollywood star, but she had other career plans if her screen ambitions didn’t come to fruition.
Jennifer – whose first film role was in 1993 horror movie ‘Leprechaun’ – said: “If I weren’t an actor; I’d be, maybe, an interior designer. I love seeing a house and thinking about how it should be redone or restored. I spent a lot of time doing my current house, and it’s beautiful. It’s like a beautiful work of art, and I’m very proud of it.”
However, Jennifer wouldn’t have been a waitress like her alter-ego Rachel – because she tried it and she had too many accidents.
Speaking to the new US issue of Marie Claire magazine, the ‘Horrible Bosses’ star said: “I dropped more than one Alpine burger in customers’ laps, and you just do not want all of that Swiss cheese and mushrooms in your pants. I wasn’t a good waitress, but I was told that I was very nice and charming, so people liked me anyway.”

Natalie Portman has become a mother for the first time.
The Oscar-winning actress – who is engaged to choreographer Benjamin Millepied – gave birth to a baby boy, although no further details have been released.
The couple met on the set of ‘Black Swan’ and while they were thrilled at the news Natalie was expecting, she recently revealed they refused to buy any baby stuff until the tot arrived because of her Jewish upbringing.
She said: “I think it’s a Jewish thing to be kind of superstitious. You don’t do any of the baby stuff before the baby arrives.”
However, one thing Natalie did do during her pregnancy was give up veganism.
The 30-year-old star became vegetarian when she was eight, and further eliminated all animal products from her diet in 2009, but re-introduced dairy to her diet since falling pregnant.
She said: “I actually went back to being vegetarian when I became pregnant, just because I felt like I wanted that stuff.
“I was listening to my body to have eggs and dairy and that sort of stuff. I know there are people who do stay vegan, but I think you have to just be careful, watch your iron levels and your B12 levels and supplement those if there are things you might be low in your diet.”
Throughout her pregnancy Natalie paid tribute to her parents Avner and Shelley Hershlag, saying she hoped to look after her child in the same way that she was brought up.
She said: “If I am a shadow as good a parent, an echo, then I will be the best in the world, so thank you.”
Philip Treacy believes hats do not have to be “eccentric”.
The renowned milliner – who has designed headwear for Victoria Beckham and Duchess Catherine – insists people do not necessarily have to choose a hat that matches their clothing, just something they feel good in.
He told the Wall Street Journal: “The hat is a symbol of Englishness.
“It’s an expression of individuality and, as such, one should choose a hat that one feels good about. It need not be eccentric; the look could be subtle . Not matching is the new matching.”
Fellow milliner Stephen Jones – who has created headgear for Dior and Vivienne Westwood – has also issued a number of headwear tips, urging visitors to horse race meeting Royal Ascot, which requires attendees to wear a hat, to bear all sides of the headwear in mind when deciding which item to wear.
He advised: “Take a hand mirror when you choose a hat, remember there are two sides and a back too!
“Wear the hat at home first, so you get used to the balance.
“Hairgrips are a hat’s best friend, but it’s even better to have your hat put on by your hairdresser if you can.
“Hats can be so many things: tricornes, boaters, bonnets, caps, berets, cloches, headdresses, fascinators, veils, turbans – so don’t be afraid to try new styles and have fun!”
