Lady Gaga makes no attempt to deny relationship with Simon Cowell's talent agent
GETTY Lady Gaga has found love with an older man
The 30-year-old singer made no attempt to refute the rumours that she and Simon Cowell’s 48-year-old Hollywood talent agent Christian Carino are an item – as she canoodled up to him at a Grammys after-party. “They were up at the bar hugging and very affectionate,” said an onlooker at the star-studded bash at LA’s Peppermint Room on Sunday night.
“Gaga had no problem showing affection.” The Bad Romance hit-maker only stepped away from her boyfriend’s side once and that was to dance to Saturday Night Fever with Hollywood veteran John Travolta. “There were cute moments of arm-in-arm and brushing each other’s side,” another eyewitness adds. “Gaga was glowing.” The week before, Christian, who also looks after the commercial and sponsorship interests of Justin Bieber, Amber Heard, Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez, was seen giving Gaga a kiss as she rehearsed on the field before her performance at the US Super Bowl. This is the first time Gaga has been linked to a man since she and her 35-year-old actor ex Taylor called off their engagement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REX Justin Timberlake is up for an Oscar for his son for animated hit Trolls
HE’S up for his first-ever Academy Award and Justin Timberlake owes this to quitting his name-making band NSync. The singer, who has received the Oscar nod for song Can’t Fight The Feeling in hit animated film Trolls, admits for the first time why breaking the hearts of millions of NSync fans was his best-ever decision. He says: “I just felt like [NSync] started as a fun snowball fight that was becoming an avalanche. I was growing out of it. I needed to follow my heart.” At the interactive Trolls sing-along in Leicester Square on Monday, he tells Day & Night his one-year-old son Silas and his family inspire him in his career: “They make me happy. I was offered the job of voicing a Trolls character and being executive music producer I thought, ‘Yes, I’ll do that.’ There was no other answer.” ● Trolls is now available on Blu-ray and DVD. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
