Josh Hartnett reportedly became anxious when his girlfriend Scarlett Johansson spent time with ladies man and That 70s Show star Wilmer Valderrama.

The Match Point actress was flown out to the Hamptons by Valderrama in order to join him there, but the blonde star's boyfriend was far from happy.

A source told the New York Daily News: "Wilmer was out there for a party and arranged for a helicopter for Scarlett to come out, too. It was just to hang out, but Josh was not psyched about it."

Sophie Anderton was in for a shock on the first day of Love Island - when none of the other celebrities chose to couple up with her.

Shortly after the contestants gathered for the first time, the producers unveiled their first surprise - the boys would have to pick one of the girls to pair off with straight away. As there are six men and five ladies, this would leave one girl as the 'single celebrity'.

The first four couples were Brendan Cole and Kelle Bryan, Shane Lynch and Lady Victoria Hervey, Chris Brosnan and Bianca Gascoigne, and finally Lee Otway and Colleen Shannon. This left Streets star Leo Ihenancho to make the final decision between model Alicia Douvall and Sophie - and after flipping a rock, he opted for the former.

Despite insisting she was fine with the decision, Sophie later commented, “I left six guys back in London - of course I’m going to be p***ed off.”

After being told that it was her job to cook and clean, Anderton complained, "I can't cook. I'm not worth this f***ing humiliation. I don't have to clean my house."

Leo later explained, “When it was down to Alicia and Sophie I was gutted that had to make that decision. I think Soph was gutted that I had to make that decision. It was liberties. I think Sophie will hate me.”

He added, "I’ve been cautious. She’s being overnice and I don’t know how to take it. She wants revenge."

Which actress shocked her minders with her demands during the after-party for her new film? As well as insisting they "fan her" and hand her water every thirty seconds, the moody one even demanded no-one look her in the eye. In fact, she is such a bitch, we're surprised she can look in the mirror.
