Blake Shelton's a pretty rad guy: Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani has broken her silence over her new relationship with country singer Blake Shelton.

The Voice mentor gushed over Blake, calling him ‘rad’ in her first interview since confirming their romance.

“He's a pretty rad guy, I have to say that,” she told a Dallas-based radio station.

Talking about her split from husband Gavin Rossdale, which was announced in August, she continued: “There has been loads of people that have helped me with this tragedy. There's definitely key people that have pointed me into the right direction. Blake really helped me.”

Gwen filed for divorce from Bush frontman Gavin in August after 13 years of marriage.

The 46-year-old star, who has sons Kingston, nine, and Zuma, seven, and 20-month-old son, Apollo, insisted she tried to keep her new relationship private.

Asked about going public with their romance, she hit back: “We didn’t! Like, somebody did. That's what's so crazy like, who announces that? Why would I do that?”

A mutual friend introduces the two to each other while the title character is examining what looks like a mummy in a dim-lit room. Holmes tests Watson's reflexes and is satisfied with them.

Watson, meanwhile, lets Holmes know his skills by saying, "I'm an army doctor which means I can break every bone in your body while naming them." The special will premiere January 1, 2016 in both the United Kingdom and the United States.

It will also get a theatrical release in more than 500 theaters in the US and the UK on January 5 and 6. Set in 19th century London, the plot details are still scarce, but executive producer Steven Moffat once said "Ghost stories work better in a Victorian setting. Other than that
it's remarkably similar."

Amanda Abbington, Rupert Graves and Una Stubbs return as Mary Morstan, Inspector Lestrade and Mrs Hudson respectively.

The 'What Do You Mean?' singer also had a sprint against host Alan Carr in the high heels, reported Ace Showbiz. "I'm going to try to break the record for the first time... a sprint in a pair of high heels," Alan said to the camera.

'The record is 5 seconds.' The 39-year-old comedian then wore a pair of red high heels and prepared to start sprinting. "I can probably beat your time. I'm going to beat your time after you," Justin told Alan.

After Alan finished his sprint, he challenged the 21-year-old singer, "Try to beat that, Justin." The singer was very confident that he could beat Alan's time. He then traded his white shoes for the red high heels. The heels apparently didn't fit Justin feet well.

Despite the unfit size of the heels, Justin went to sprint. After the singer reached the finish line, Alan announced, "I've got the results. I did it in 7 seconds. You, Justin Bieber, did it in... 6 seconds."

The hand-clapping, sing-along song is about all the band has been through and accomplished alongside the One Direction fans for the past five years, reported Aceshowbiz. The lyrics include, "You and me, we got a whole lot of history/ We could be the greatest thing the world has ever seen/ This is not the end/ We can make it, you know it, you know."

One Direction also shared a video of Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson talking about the new track.

Harry Styles wrote on Twitter, "You've got to help me, I'm losing my mind," along with a link to "History". Horan, meanwhile, tweeted, "Loving the trend again today.. Love how u are responding to history.. It's one our favourite songs we've ever done.. So this makes me happy. Loving the trend again today.. Love how u are responding to history.. It's one our favourite songs we've ever done.. So this makes me happy."

Liam Payne described 'History' as a 'modern version' of "You've Got a Friend in Me". "More than anything, the song is about the way the fans and everyone have created this massive thing - One Direction - over the past five years," he shared, "Out of ('History') comes a little bit of closure for this chapter of One Direction."

He said bringing fans to the recording studio for the chorus of 'History' was actually his idea, but he wasn't able to go himself. "That was actually my idea. It's really great because obviously that song is mainly about the fans and what they've done. I think it was important that they were a part of it, to close the album."

Kanye West Spents $500 on Haircut Everyday

If there's one thing we know about Kanye West, he always looks fresh -- but it doesn't come cheap. On top of the designer clothing 'He is always rocking, he's also putting a whole lot of money into his hair. That's right, it may not look like much, but according to Rihanna's dad (who travelled with 'He and his daughter on a 2010 tour), the rapper gets his hair cut every day, and he shells out $500 each time.

“It’s crazy – he pays his barber $500 a time,” Ri's father said in an interview with Heat. "I don’t understand how that much hair gets taken off. Kanye just loves the fresh look.”

When it comes to his elaborate patterns (those stars at the 2010 VMAs, or those arrows he rocked for a bit) we definitely get the pricetag, but for the most part, His hair doesn't seem like a difficult style, especially if it's getting cut every single day.

Keep in mind, this report is from 5 years ago, so things may have changed since then, but we do know Ibn Jasper has been 'He's barber for a minute now, and we'd assume his rate would only go up over time.

As Complex points out, 5 bills a day would give Ibn a $182,500 salary, which certainly isn't bad for a barber with only one client.
