Bruce Jenner discusses his transition into a woman with his daughters on E!'s About Bruce TV special
Bruce Jenner was trending on Twitter again as the Keeping Up With the Kardashians special About Bruce was aired on British and US TV.
The emotional programme saw the former Olympic athlete open up to his family for the first-time about his plans to undergo gender reassignment.
The candid episode of the popular reality show, which was filmed in January, revealed the reactions of his family and their concerns as they laughed and cried toegther.
"My biggest fear about meeting her for the first time is just I think my reaction. I'm very facially expressive," Khloé Kardashian, 30, said. "I don't want to do anything offensive that would hurt her feelings."
Recognising their concerns and expressing his own fears for his children, Jenner commented: "They're all kind of nervous to meet her. She's always more fun, more at ease and feeling good about herself. It's all part of me. It's like having Bruce with a little icing on the cake. It only gets better."
Since the programme was recorded, Kim Kardashian West, who has been described as the most supportive following Bruce's revelations, recently revealed that she has seen her step-father as a woman. In an interview the 33-year-old said: "She is beautiful."

FKA Twigs on the ugly side of fame with boyfriend Robert Pattinson

Singer-songwriter FKA Twigs has spoken out about the "awful" trappings of fame and the increased media attention associated with dating Hollywood heartthrob Robert Pattinson.
"It's really hard — I can't begin to explain how awful it is," she told the New York Times on Friday (15 May). "It makes you want to just stop everything sometimes. It makes you want to smash your face into the mirror."
The biracial singer says that worst of all are the racial insults on social media, some of which come from die-hard fans of the Twilight star. 
"It's relentless," she said. "There's no amount of songs I can sing or dances I can dance that will prove to them I'm not a monkey."
"I didn't see my life going this way at all," she told the NYT. "But it's worth it. I'm so happy."
FKA Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Barnett, also spoke about her love for Pattinson and the dark side of media exposure during an interview with The Guardian's magazine, The Observer, in December.
"That side of my life [the paparazzi] is nothing to do with me. That's, like… That is the… side of life of the man that I love, she said.
"And… when that started happening I had to… Because that is the opposite of who I am as a person, and it was weird… Then I had to sit back and have a conversation with myself and I had to say: that is something really horrible. No, not horrible, I don't find it horrible, it's something that's very challenging.
She went on: "I look uncomfortable because I am uncomfortable. But then it's, like, is this person in my life worth that? And he is, without question. Do you know what I mean? In comparison to how happy I am. And how I feel with him. It's 100% worth it."
In any case, FKA Twigs, 27, hasn't let the press intrusion and online bullying stem her rise to the top, having written and produced two EPs and gained widespread critical acclaim for her first album, LP1, as well as directing, choreographing and starring in a series of eye-catching music videos.
Congregata, a two hour performance combining her songs with a decade's worth of dance influences, kicks off a sold-out run later today (17 May) in Brooklyn, New York.

Fast and Furious 8: Will Jason Statham, Luke Evans Return as Shaw Brothers to fill Paul Walker's void?

Vin Diesel confirmed that the eighth installment of the franchise will premiere on 14 April 2017
The Fast & Furious franchise will return in 2017, but speculations about the cast ensemble has kept the fans guessing after the movie was confirmed by actor and producer Vin Diesel at the Las Vegas CinemaCon on 23 April.
Fans of the street racing action franchise want a perfect replacement for Paul Walker who played the character of Brian O'Conner.
Ecumenical News suspects that after saying goodbye to the late actor, producers of the franchise may bring back Jason Statham, Luke Evans as the Shaw Brothers Deckard and Owen.
In the sixth movie of the popular franchise, Owen Shaw was believed to be dead but he was later shown barely alive during the beginning of Furious 7.
His brother Deckard Shaw went to prison at the end of the seventh movie of the blockbuster franchise.
The website suspects that in F8, the Shaw Brothers may revenge against Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto and his crew.
After the blockbuster reception for Furious 7, Diesel, who is also the producer of the action franchise, has revealed that the eighth instalment of the American action movie is indeed happening.
"Well, I was trying to keep it close to the vest throughout the release. Paul [Walker] used to say that eight was guaranteed. And in some ways, when your brother guarantees something, you sometimes feel like you have to make sure it comes to pass," Diesel said during the MTV Movie Awards 2015.
Diesel has hinted at a bigger role for Kurt Russell, who made his first appearance in the Fast and Furious series.
Russell's Mr Nobody character was introduced for a larger story that takes place in New York, the 47-year-old action star revealed during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Mr. Nobody is a shadowy government agent who helped Dom and the rest of his gang high tech toys to make their task easy.
It is rumoured that Russell's Mr Nobody may fill the void of Walker, who died in a tragic car crash in 2013.

Former One Direction star Zayn Malik trying to stop British Muslim girls being Isis brides

Zayn Malik is a role model for an anti-Jihadist scheme 
Heart-throb and ex-One Direction star Zayn Malik is the role model in a scheme to stop British Muslim girls being recruited as Jihadist brides.
The project is run by former Apprentice star Nurun Ahmed. "The radicals who groom teenage girls tell them groups like Islamic State [Isis] are their only hope for a future," she told the Sun on Sunday.
"We need girls to know this is not true and that there is hope for them in this country.
"We will give them examples of people they can relate to like Zayn Malik from One Direction to help them to understand that they have opportunities."
In February three British schoolgirls from the Bethnal Green Academy in east London – Shamima Begum, Amira Abase and Kadiza Sultana – disappeared from their homes in east London and flew to Turkey, before crossing the border into war-torn Syria.
The girls were believed to have been married off to IS militants but have since been reported missing, with the terror group now "thoroughly searching for them" after their escape.
The Prevent Engage and Inspire will use the schoolgirls' story during a series of talks given at schools in east London.
The Muslim festival of Ramadan begins in June, and there are fears that girls will run away to join the IS in Syria, during the school holidays.
Malik has previously spoken about the racist abuse he receives on Twitter: "Nasty things were said like I'm a terrorist. How can you justify that?" he said in a Mirror interview.
One song blamed the former One Direction singer for the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in 2001. The track called Zayn Did 9/11 features the singer's silhouette superimposed over an image of the September 11 attacks on the Twin Towers.
"How can you call me that and get away with it?
"You can say whatever you want about me, I'm not bothered. But when it starts to upset people I care about or I hear about it from my mum, that's a problem."
"I believe that your religion should be between you and whoever your belief is in."

Pan trailer: Cara Delevingne and Hugh Jackman in second preview revealing beautiful Neverland

Hugh Jackman stars as villainous pirate, Blackbeard in Pan
Warner Bros offers up a second look at Pan in its newest teaser trailer and while it doesn't reveal too much more about the storyline than the first sneak peak, it treats viewers to some beautiful visuals, capturing just how magical a live-action setting Neverland can be.
Directed by Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement), Pan is somewhat of an origin story about the boy who couldn't grow up. The new trailer opens with Peter being mysteriously told by who we know is his mother (from the first trailer) that he "will see [her] again, in this world... or another".
Thereafter begins an heroic adventure when Peter finds himself in a strange new world, defending a whole host of interesting characters from an evil pirate named Blackbeard.
The movie boasts a plethora of famous faces including Hugh Jackman as the swashbuckling villain, Garrett Hedlund as a young (and seemingly good), James Hook and Rooney Mara as princess and warrior, Tiger Lily.
Other recognisable names that will feature include Kathy Burke, Cara Delevingne and Amanda Seyfried, while relatively unknown actor Levi Miller will star as the title character.
It is Hook's apparently flipped alliance that is probably most intriguing about this new take on the classic characters created by JM Barrie. The preview suggests he is on Peter Pan's side to take down Blackbeard – and he has two hands.
However, we see a glimpse of a huge crocodile halfway through the trailer, will the re-imagined storyline lead on to what we all know becomes of Hook? We'll have to wait and see. 
Rooney Mara in Pan
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara will feature as Tiger Lily, princess of Neverland
The film was original scheduled for a July release date but due to the studio wanting to avoid "the cluttered summer season", it has now been delayed until October.
Head of domestic distribution Dan Fellman explained the move by saying: "We wanted to give Pan the space to extend its theatrical run, so taking it out of the cluttered summer season made the most sense. Moving the film to the heart of the fall will allow us more time to screen the picture, enabling us to capitalise on what we anticipate will be strong word of mouth."
The Wachowski brothers' picture Jupiter Ascending underwent a similar decision process last year when its release was pushed back by months due to supposed editing issue. The film fared badly at the box office and was considered a flop when it was finally seen by wide audiences; let's just hope Pan doesn't suffer the same fate...

Bobbi Kristina Brown: Boyfriend Nick Gordon publicly begs family for hospital access

He has not seen her since she was discovered unresponsive in a bathtub and now, Bobbi Kristina Brown's boyfriend Nick Gordon is publicly begging her family to grant him hospital access.
In a message released to People magazine through his lawyer Randy Kessler, Gordon, 25, says that he has been respectful of her family's wishes for him to stay away from the Atlanta medical facility.
Kessler states: "Despite his strong desire to see Bobbi Kristina, Nick has respected the [family's] wishes for over three months and has refrained from visiting or from pursuing access to her through the courts.
"He has asked through counsel many times privately and now asks both the Browns and the Houstons, please let him see her."
In April, Gordon was released from rehab after spending more than a month in the facility receiving treatment for drugs and alcohol addiction.
The rehab stint was the result of a televised intervention on Dr Phil, which featured an emotional appearance from his mother.
Cissy Houston and Bobby Kristina
Cissy Houston recently claimed her granddaughter Bobbi Kristina has 'irreversible brain damage'
On 31 January, Gordon and a friend are believed to have discovered Whitney Houston's daughter in a bathtub at the Roswell, Georgia home they once shared together.
Bobbi Kristina, 22, has remained unresponsive since and her grandmother Cissy Houston recently claimed the youngster has "irreversible brain damage" and is showing no signs of improvement.
The 81-year-old told Entertainment Tonight: "[She is] the same, she's not progressing at all.
"She's not gone yet, but you know, whatever the Lord decides, I'm ready for her ... I have nothing to do with that. That's His job. It's His territory, you know? And I understand it."
A judge recently awarded Bobbi Kristina's father Bobby Brown and her aunt Pat Houston co-guardianship of her welfare and $20m (£12.7m) estate, which she inherited from her famous mother following her death in 2012.
Confirming the ruling, a statement released by both lawyers read: "Both Mr Brown and Ms Houston are jointly responsible for decisions related to Krissi's care and medical needs.
"Both parties are delighted with the court's decision and are working harmoniously to ensure Krissi receives the best possible medical care."
Although Bobbi Kristina is still believed to be situated at a rehab medical facility, a source recently claimed that her family are considering moving her back to the town house where she was found unconscious.

Madonna's Instagram photo #rebelheart
Obsessed with posting same-sex gender kissing pictures on Instagram and sparking controversies, Madonna has done it again.
In her latest Instagram posting, Madonna touches on the Israel-Palestine conflict by sharing a picture captioned 'rebelheart', where a Jewish and a Muslim man are about to kiss.
Some hailed the photo with a user saying: "Thank your for always supporting the LGBTQA community. Even when it could put your career on the line. Because if your influence, I have the courage to be a #rebelheart and live out and proud."
Others, however, criticised Madonna for violating religious beliefs.
One user commented: "Who is Madonna disrespecting people like that. I don't understand how she has the audacity to do something this extreme."
While another user remarked: "It's only gay people who are liking this and people who don't know how to respect religions."
Earlier Madonna came under fire for posting an artwork of her kissing Disney princess Snow White on Instagram to promote her latest album Rebel Heart.
