The 35-year-old musician has had the guitar covered in intricate designs, including Perry's initials and the date they first met.

Demi Moore 'heartbroken' over Ashton and Mila reports

23 Jul 09:19 PM

Tom Hardy is not looking forward to Christmas Day at his fiancee's father's house.

While the Dark Knight Rises actor has a good relationship with actress Charlotte Riley's father, he admitted he isn't excited about Christmas dinner because they are planning a pig roast which he doesn't approve of.

Tom told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "I'm doing a massive pig roast at my girlfriend's dad's house. I wouldn't say it was a massive success last year because it's never good to hear a pig got killed is it.

"I can't celebrate that as it's not cool.

"It's wrong, right? It's like eating your dog if you think about it and I can't eat my dog. So I'm not sure if I can eat the pig."

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt don't like to spend Christmas in one place.

The Hollywood couple raise six children together, Maddox, 11, Pax, nine, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six, and four-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, and when it comes to the festive holidays, they like to travel around the world instead of buying them expensive gifts.

She said: "I love to travel in the holidays, because I feel like I'd rather give the kids the gift of a new country than a box of presents. But I still give them some presents!"

Stone already has a small black and white dog of her own.

Aston Kutcher and Mila Kunis' hometown holiday

Ashton Kutcher has whisked Mila Kunis to his hometown for the holidays.

The Two And a Half Men star - who filed for divorced from his 50-year-old wife Demi Moore yesterday more than one year after their split - is said to have been very excited to spend the festive season with his family in Iowa and his 29-year-old girlfriend.

A source close to the 34-year-old actor exclusively told Bang Showbiz: "Ashton was really excited about bringing Mila home to hang out with his family. He couldn't wait to get back to Iowa because people don't bother him there and said he was looking forward to chilling out."
