Celebrity News

As many other people, we are interested in reading about celebrities. News about celebrities is often short and written in an informal way. Most of the times, it is about mundane activities of famous people.  For English learning purposes, those news stories are easy to read. You can learn a lot of idioms, informal spoken English and also culture about different countries.

We are going to read about one of the most famous couples in Hollywood (From Yahoo OMG). As you read, you can use ctrl + click on the links on the highlighted words to find out their meaning.
