OHMYGOSSIP — Willow Smith was “in a bad place” while making ‘Coping Mechanism’.
The 23-year-old star released her fifth studio album back in October 2022, and Willow has now admitted to being “in a bad spot” while making the record.
Willow told Dazed magazine: “I was deeply heartbroken. I was getting blackout drunk almost every session for that album, and I was just in a bad spot. I was in a bad place.”
The singer actually learned some valuable lessons from that experience, and she’s vowed never to repeat her mistakes.
She said: “I wouldn’t want to make an album in that way, ever again.”
Willow believes that her latest album, ‘Empathogen’, is a reflection of her personal evolution.
The ‘Symptom of Life’ hitmaker explained: “I decided, like, OK, I’m done with this ‘woe is me, everyone’s against me’ attitude. It’s time to do a bit of work and figure out who you actually are.”
Despite this, Willow – who is the daughter of Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith – is still happy to “show people the beauty and the darkness of the human experience” through her music.
Willow – who released her debut album, ‘Ardipithecus’, back in 2015 – shared: “I was born into a family who does entertainment. I could have chosen to not put myself in front of the world … but I think there are a lot of things that need to be expressed and a lot of issues that need to be raised.
“Artists have always been the people to raise those questions, hold a mirror up, and show people the beauty and the darkness of the human experience. From there, so many beautiful things can happen.”

The 42-year-old royal recently revealed that she completed her course of chemotherapy and was looking forward to resuming public engagements in the coming months – but Prince William has now sounded a note of caution, explaining that his wife is still in the recovery process.

She said: “As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.
“The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.
“The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.
“With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.
“This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.
“Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.
“I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.”

“Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.
“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.

OHMYGOSSIP — Chappell Roan met with Sabrina Carpenter in order to discuss their experiences of fame.
The 26-year-old star and Sabrina, 25, have both enjoyed a meteoric rise over recent years, and Chappell has revealed that they recently met to discuss their personal experiences of fame and success.
She told Rolling Stone magazine: “We’re both going through something so f****** hard … she just feels like everything is flying, and she’s just barely hanging on. It was just good to know someone else feels that way.”
Chappell has been making music for years, but she’s only recently become a global star.
The singer actually finds it frustrating that fans are only now becoming aware of her music.
Chappell – who released her debut EP, ‘School Nights’, back in 2017 – said: “What’s so infuriating is how people are just now taking me seriously. Like, ‘You know what, b****? I’ve been doing this s*** and you’re just now catching up.’”
Chappell actually released a series of songs as an independent artist before signing with a major label.
And she’s now confessed to putting labels “through hell” before she made a decision about her long-term future.
The ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ hitmaker – whose real name is Kayleigh Amstutz – shared: “I put the labels through hell. Hell.
“I was like, ‘Give me a [pitch] deck on how you would market me. Give me a deck on what you would do with my career. What do you see in five years? If you can’t even do it in a hypothetical situation, you don’t know how to figure it out. I’m definitely not signing to your a**.'”

OHMYGOSSIP — Selena Gomez felt “scared to leave the house” after releasing her 2022 documentary.
The 32-year-old actress has revealed that she actually had second thoughts about releasing ‘My Mind and Me’ just a few weeks before it was due to launch.

“Lawyers got involved, but we never took it to Apple because everything was locked … When the movie came out, I didn’t look at anything for a few days, and then I was scared to leave the house.”
The brunette beauty felt terrified about sharing her personal struggles with the world. But ultimately, she found comfort in the support and empathy of her fans.
Selena shared: “I just started to embrace it and I felt like it was a really good thing.”
Despite this, Selena insists she doesn’t want anyone to feel sorry for her.
The ‘Only Murders in the Building’ star said: “I like to remind people that that is definitely nowhere close to where I am now.
“My mind was not right and chemically imbalanced, and it was really difficult. People were calling me a victim. That frustrates me, because being vulnerable is actually one of the strongest things you can do. That narrative is not going to take over my life.”
Selena still experiences difficult days from time to time. But the chart-topping star acknowledges that she’s “no victim”.
She said: “I’m grateful every day. And I have my days like everyone else, but I’m no victim. I just survived a lot. There isn’t a part of me that wants anyone to feel sorry for me.”

Nathalie – who is perhaps best known for playing Missandei in the HBO fantasy series ‘Game of Thrones’ – told Defined Magazine: “I want to continue pushing myself in different roles and challenge myself in different kinds of movies and TV shows – any acting work that stretches me as an actor.
“[But] I’m also really wanting to expand my involvement in the creative process and be more a part of the development and the kinds of stories I want to tell. Eventually, building up my own production company and, hopefully, if that’s successful I’ll be able to start bringing in people who don’t always get the opportunity.
“I’d like to nurture up-and-coming talent who don’t historically get access.”
Nathalie would love to provide a “platform” for people who are often ignored by the film and TV industry.
The actress – who has also starred in the ‘Fast and Furious’ film franchise – said: “As somebody who hasn’t always seen themselves in the industry, I’m sure there are many people who don’t see themselves in the industry and I’d love to be able to be a platform for those voices and those talents.
“When I think about the amount of people whose talent and art we haven’t had the pleasure of seeing, it makes me sad and I’d love to be able to be a part of changing that. We really need the industry to not be so afraid of nurturing and funding new talent and talent from communities that are historically left out.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Halle Berry is “eternally miffed” that no Black woman has won the Best Actress Oscar since her.
The 58-year-old Hollywood star became the first Black woman to win the accolade at the Academy Awards in 2002 for her role in ‘Monster’s Ball’, and admits she is “continually saddened” that 22 years on, she remains the only one.
She told Marie Claire: “I’m still eternally miffed that no Black woman has come behind me for that Best Actress Oscar, I’m continually saddened by that year after year.
“And it’s certainly not because there has been nobody deserving.”
The ‘Catwoman’ star hailed the successes of Black actresses Andra Day, 39, and Viola Davis, 59, and insisted a “soaring career” is far more important to her than any award.
She said: “Would I rather have awards or a kicka**, robust, soaring career as a Black woman? I’d take the kicka**, soaring career over an award any day.”
Halle has always been clear about what she wants from her career, but she admits she’s been “loosey goosey” about her relationships – until she manifested her latest romance with 54-year-old musician Van Hunt.
She said: “I created my career. I was intentional about that. I knew what I was going to do, and I did it.
“But I had never been that intentional with my relationships. I was loosey goosey with that. You have to be clear with the universe [or] any old thing will find you.”
She added: “The minute I started to feel like I understood myself and what I had been doing wrong, Van’s brother, who I had known for many years, came to me and said, ‘you should meet my brother.’”
Halle has been married three times before to David Justice from 1993 until 1997, Eric Benét from 2001 until 2005, and Olivier Martinez from 2013 until 2016.
The actress has daughter Nahla Ariela, 16, with ex-partner Gabriel Aubry, and son Maceo-Robert, 10, with her third husband.

The 35-year-old pop star filed for divorce from the ‘Game of Thrones’ actress, 28, in Miami, Florida in September 2023 and now court documents filed in the state on September 6 show a judge ruled the marriage was “irretrievably broken” and agreed to waive the final 20-day waiting period to dissolve the union and declare them both single.
According to PEOPLE, the documents stated: “The marriage between the parties is dissolved and the parties are restored to the status of being single.”
The terms of the settlement remain confidential, but he documents state the agreement is “in the best interests of the parties and this family.”
The former couple married in Las Vegas in May 2019, and they are parents to two daughters – Willa, four, and two-year-old Delphine.
Custody of the girls became a major issue as the split played out as Sophie had hoped to raise the children in her native UK while Joe wanted them to remain in the US.
They are believed to have reached a temporary agreement which will allow the girls to split their time between the US and the UK.
After splitting in 2023, they shared a joint statement online which read: “After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage.
“There are many speculative narratives as to why, but truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children’.”
In a recent interview with Vogue magazine, Sophie admitted she wasn’t happy with the way the split played out – especially the way it impacted the kids.
She said: “I’m unhappy with the way everything played out, especially when it comes to my children. They’re the victims in all of this. But I think we’re doing the best we can.
“I’m confident that we can figure it out. Joe is a great father to our children and that’s all that I can ask for.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift has thrown her support behind fellow “childless cat lady” Kamala Harris ahead of the US election in November.
The 34-year-old pop superstar rarely weighs in on politics, but she has now publicly endorsed the Democrat candidate and her running mate Tim Walz following Harris’ TV debate with Republican rival Donald Trump on Tuesday night (10.09.24) with Taylor revealing she’s done her “research” and made her choice as America prepares to go to the polls.
In a post on Instagram, the singer shared a picture of herself holding a cat and wrote: “Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most.
“As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.”
She went on to comment on the use of AI technology to mock up fake images showing her endorsing Trump, which he shared on his own social media accounts.
Taylor wrote: “Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation.
“It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.
“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.
“I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered!
“I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.”
She signed the note: “With love and hope, Taylor Swift Childless Cat Lady.”
The “Childless Cat Lady” line is a reference to Trump’s running mate JD Vance, who previously used the term as an insult to describe Harris.
The term previously riled up another world-famous star – Jennifer Aniston – who referred to her own fertility struggles in an emotional post on Instagram hitting back at Vance’s comments.
She wrote: “I truly can’t believe that this is coming from a potential VP of the United States. All I can say is … Mr Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day.
“I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option,. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too.”
The US election takes place on November 5.

OHMYGOSSIP — Halsey was “terrified” when she became ill shortly after becoming a mother.
The 29-year-old singer has three-year-old Ender with screenwriter Alev Aydin and battled a number of illnesses soon after giving birth including lupus, T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder, POTS, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Sjogren’s syndrome but channeled her recovery into the writing process of her new album ‘The Great Impersonator.’
She told The Hollywood Reporter: “I was in that in-between space, waiting for answers from doctors for months of like, you know, not only could I be not in a position where I get to be a musician anymore, but I don’t even know now if I’m going to get to be anymore. And that was terrifying.
“Kind of like the greatest thing in the world ever happened to me [becoming a mom]. And then all of a sudden, a really scary thing happened to me.
“And then I knew that I had to start writing because I knew that that was going to help me process what was going on.”
Meanwhile, Halsey – whose real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane – caused a stir when she sampled the classic Britney Spears track ‘Lucky’ in her song of the same name and insisted that she did get permission from the pop superstar to do so.
She said: “She was so supportive out the gate. I thought it was gonna take some convincing because I didn’t think she knew who I was.
“I didn’t just reach out to her cold, because, what do you do? You don’t just reach out to Britney Spears. I wrote this really long letter… just talking about her and how much I love her in the song. And you know, what I’d been going through and what it meant to me. And I’d also just become a single mom, you know? So I really related to her in that way as well.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Kidman missed the premiere of her new movie ‘Babygirl’ to be with her family following her mother’s death.
The 57-year-old actress was told her mother Janelle had passed away while she was in Italy attending the Venice Film Festival where she was honoured with an award for her performance in the new movie. Nicole had been due to screen the project at the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada on Tuesday (10.09.24), but director Halina Reijn explained the actress needed to fly home to be with her loves ones in the aftermath of the tragedy.
She told the audience at the premiere: “We just came back from Venice where we had the world premiere of our movie, and it was quite an emotional experience as you might have read because Nicole Kidman had just won the award for best actress.
“Unfortunately, right before she was going to go on the stage and accept the award, she sadly heard of her mother’s passing and had to rush off to her family, and that’s why she’s not here with us tonight.
“But she wanted all of us to know that she was so excited for this day. It’s very special to us. This is our North American premiere.”
Reijn previously stepped in for Kidman at the Venice event – picking up the award on her behalf so the actress could focus on dealing with her family tragedy.
The moviemaker read a statement from Kidman to the audience, which explained: “Today I arrived in Venice to find out shortly after, that my beautiful, brave mother Janelle Ann Kidman has just passed.
“I am in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her, she shaped me, she guided me, and she made me. I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heart-breaking, and my heart is broken.”
Nicole previously opened up about her mum’s health issues during an appearance on the ‘Fresh Air’ podcast in 2022 revealing she had been in Australia to take care of Janelle and they were able to take her to an art show despite the resurgence of COVID-19 cases.
She said: “We’re down here primarily to take care of my mother and to have her surrounded by her grandchildren.
“So luckily yesterday, even though Omicron is raging through this country, we were able to take her into the gallery after hours and show her the Matisse exhibit, which coming from a mother who’s raised me in the arts, it was soothing balm. Matisse was soothing balm last night”.
Nicole added she felt lucky to be able to see the world through her mother’s eyes, and described her outlook as “so beneficial”.
She said: “I’m at the place where I’m being given the chance to view the world, because of how close we are, my mum is giving me the chance to view the world through an 81-year-old woman’s eyes.
“That is so beneficial right now, because she’s so cognisant. She has every brain faculty available, so she hasn’t lost anything.
“She hasn’t lost any memory, which is fascinating, and she’s extremely bright. She’s giving me access, because she’s also very direct and very honest, and so I’m getting access to the world through her eyes, my mother’s eyes, so therefore a part of me almost at 80.”
