Jonah Hill is "under construction" when it comes to his body. The 34-year-old actor has long struggled with his appearance and his weight, after having previously slimmed down in 2011 before packing on 40 pounds for his role in 2015's 'War Dogs', which he then tried to shed once again.

And despite his struggles, the 'Maniac' star says he's still working hard to get himself in shape.

He said: "I'm under construction like we all are, you know what I mean? We're all just trying to figure it out."

But although he's working on his figure, Jonah insists it's time Hollywood shunned their stereotypical view of people based on the way they look, as he says he was pigeon-holed at the start of his career for being "curly-haired and overweight".

He added: "I came up in goofy comedies and this kind of like curly-haired, overweight kid, and everyone had their own opinion on what I should be, how they could speak to me, how they could treat me."

The Superbad star added that even though he's now successful and "good-looking", he still thinks of himself as the "overweight" teenager he used to be.

Avril Lavigne doesn't regret her marriages. The 34-year-old singer who split from first husband Deryck Whibley in 2009 after three years of marriage and went on to wed Chad Kroeger in July 2013 before separating in September 2015 "loves love" and is still on good terms with both her former spouses.

She said: "I love love. The way I looked at it is I married my long-terms."

The Head Above Water singer first met Chad when it was suggested by her then-manager that they get into the recording studio together, and they quickly fell in love.

Recalling her initial reaction to the collaboration suggestion, she told Billboard magazine: "He's had a ton of hit songs. He plays guitar. This could be great...

"A month later, I had a 14-carat ring on my finger."

After two days in the recording studio, Avril made the How You Remind Me singer get a matching tattoo with her, which read 'Vivre le moment present' Live in the present moment and she admitted around 75 per cent of her inkings were done in tandem with other people, including two she has with her Deryk.

But the Girlfriend hitmaker admitted she doesn't always remember getting inked, and it once came as a shock to her when she discovered a constellation of stars by her inner hip.

Tina Turner "still doesn't know" what drove her son to take his own life.

The 78-year-old singer tragically lost her son Craig in July this year when he took his own life at the age of 59, and says she still doesn't know what "took him to the edge", as he had just started a new job and fallen in love with a woman whom he told his mother was unlike any other.

Tina said: "I still don't know what took him to the edge, because at that stage he had said to me that he had never met a woman that he felt that way about.

"He was bringing her to meet me [for] his birthday in August. He had decorated his apartment, that I bought him years ago. He had gotten a new job with a prominent real estate company in California, [which] he was very happy with. I have no idea what pulled him down, except something that followed him with loneliness. I think it was something with being alone. But when I think that, why didn't he call the new girlfriend that gave him the lift?"

The Proud Mary hitmaker described her late son as "introverted", and says that while she didn't see any warning signs at the time, she can "notice a change" in him when she looks back on their last conversations.
