Liam Payne is not sure he'll ever get down on one knee.
The former One Direction singer discussed his relationship with 33-year-old girlfriend Cheryl Cole, on The Sun reporter Dan Wootton's Bizarre Life podcast on Thursday, explaining that, at this point, marriage is "not really on the cards for me."
"I see marriage as more of a religious thing and I'm not really a religious person," the 23-year-old artist explained. "So no, not yet, unfortunately."

However, Payne did clarify that his disinterest in the institution does not mean he isn't head over heels for the former X Factor judge, whom he has dated since late 2015. The couple welcomed son Bear in April.
"We have a baby together," he said. "Our love for each other can’t be more serious, so it is what it is I guess."

Will Liam Payne tie the knot with Cheryl Cole, who recently gave birth to their first child? Not anytime soon. "I see marriage as more of a religious thing and I'm not really a religious person, so I know it's not really on the cards for me at the moment," Payne said on The Sun reporter Dan Wootton's Bizarre Life podcast Thursday. "So no not yet." Payne, 23, and Cole, 33, first met in 2008, when he was 14 and she co-judged his audition on The X Factor, two years before he auditioned again and joined One Direction on the show. The two singers started dating last year. Cole gave birth to their baby boy Bear in March. "We have...

It was an unexpected X Factor this evening for the first Judges' Houses. The results were announced live, with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Simon Cowell naming the three acts they'd be taking to the Live shows from the Groups and the Overs.
Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora have yet to make their decisions, but tonight had plenty of talking points, particularly from Simon's camp. Digital Spy was watching along and had a look at what the general public were thinking. Here is a round-up of the best tweets:

The ceremony took place in London's Royal Opera House and was presented by Stephen Fry. We provide a wrap-up on Twitter's reaction below:
1. Twitter wasn't entirely impressed with Boyhood's Best Film win:
Boyhood was grueling to sit through. No wonder it's in the Oscar race.

On Monday morning (November 17) One Direction showed up at the “Today” show in Orlando, Florida to promote their new album Four, however Zayn Malik was absent from the appearance due to a “tummy bug.”
And when Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Harry Styles sat down with host Matt Lauer, it wasn’t long before Malik’s rumored drug issues came up.
Lauer asked, “There’s obviously a lot of concern, a lot of fans have been tweeting overnight. Is it something more serious? There have been rumors of substance abuse. What’s going on?”
Payne quickly answered, “No, he’s just got a stomach bug. He’s okay. He’s just at home. He just needs to rest.”
Since the interview, Zayn got in touch with Dan Wootton at The Sun and issued the following statement- “I'm really angry and upset by what was said on The Today Show.

The actor has become the latest celebrity to retire less than gracefully, joining Shia Labeouf in his very public break-up with fame
No one wants to be a celebrity any more. Alec Baldwin has retired from public life. He's done with it. Indeed, he has so emphatically had enough that he has penned a break-up letter to his own fame for New York magazine. His 5,000-word farewell concludes with an expression of sympathy for Shia Labeouf, who announced his own desire to leave the limelight by donning a paper bag bearing the words: "I am not famous any more." Even Jennifer Lawrence might be sacking it off for a while, according to Harvey Weinstein. But is it possible to just disappear? Well, actually, yes. Here are four proven ways to ditch the burden of being famous:

Kerry Katona has reportedly found herself dropped….again!
It has been claimed that the mum of four has been dropped by her management agency Can Associates.
The troubled reality TV star signed with the agency and it’s boss Claire Powell almost exactly a year ago and was made to move down south, dump her husband Mark Croft and give up drugs to stay on their books.
She subsequently landed a spot on ITV’s Dancing On Ice and won back a few of her old magazine columns but now it seems like she’s lost Can’s backing. News Of The World Showbiz editor Dan Wootton tweeted tonight:
For those asking, it is true that Kerry Katona and Can Associates have parted ways. Not great news for Kerry, in my opinion.
Does this spell the end for Kerry’s career and celebrity lifestyle? We certainly hope so! But how...

Katie Waissel’s mum has hit out at insiders who claim that the 24 year old has done nothing but argue with fellow X Factor hopeful Cher Lloyd.
A source recently told Now magazine that Cheryl Cole was spending huge amounts of time mediating between the competitive pair and claimed that Katie often picked on Cher, saying:
‘The constant need for reassurance from these girls is something Cheryl has never known.’
‘Katie was either picking on what Cher was wearing or making her paranoid.
However in an interview with Heat magazine, Katie’s mum blasted the rumours saying:
‘Katie’s not confrontational. She’s very diplomatic – if she was in a situation, she would walk away. She’s all about karma. She doesn’t like bad karma.
‘But you’re talking about two different people: one’s 24 and one’s 17. I think you learn how to handle things in life the older you get.

In a recent interview with News of the World's Dan Wootton, the 28-year-old admitted that although the husband of Victoria Adams is not his type, he would still share a bed with the English skipper. "He's very handsome but not my type. I probably wouldn't kick him out of bed," he joked.
The singer who lost to Kris Allen on season eight of "American Idol" came out with the statement after revealing that he shares the same manager as David and his wife. "I have yet still to meet him, or Victoria either," he confessed. "I hear they come into the office and I'm like 'can you call me the next time they come in'. I just want to stare at them looking beautiful."
Days earlier, Adam Lambert shared that he formed a bond with Lady GaGa over whiskey.
