The 51-year-old actor Hugh Grant, who became a father for the first time last September when actress Tinglan Hong gave birth to his daughter Jessica, is “embarrassed” by his new obsession with cars and thinks it stems from questioning his life as he gets older. He said, “I have a new obsession with cars. It’s almost too embarrassing to talk about. Motor racing. I go on motor racing trips. I get taught how to drive and now go to bed and read my iPad all about how crankshafts work or disc brakes. It’s weird. I don’t know where it’s come from. It’s a midlife crisis. That’s exactly what’s happening to me.” Hugh admitted he is only just beginning to understand women. He told Total Film magazine, “I think women (being inexplicable) is the fascination, isn’t it? I’ve got a bit better at it I think, but I’m a late developer. I’m 51 and just beginning to see some of the stuff that’s going on that we, as men, are generally moronic about.”

Rihanna teams up with her ex
Rihanna has teamed up with ex-beau Chris Brown, who assaulted her three years ago, to record a remix of her song Birthday Cake.
“The feature on the remix is gonna shock the world,” thesun.co.uk quoted the song’s co-producers, Da Internz as saying.
Chris, who won a Grammy last week, has recorded both a singing verse and a rap verse. Their coming together adds more fuel to the fire that the pair are in the process of rekindling their romance. This week Brown even attended Rihanna’s early birthday celebration in Beverly Hills.
