I have a very normal life, says Nicole Kidman

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Kidman has “a very normal life”.
The Oscar-winning actress – who is married to music star Keith Urban – has revealed that she’s looking forward to returning to her family home in Nashville after she finishes promoting ‘The Perfect Couple’, her new mystery drama series.
Nicole – who has Sunday, 16, and Faith, 13, with Keith, as well as Isabella, 31, and Connor, 29, with ex-husband Tom Cruise – told ‘Extra’: “I have a very normal life.
“I’m right now going, ‘Yes, I’ll be at the parent-teacher [conference] tomorrow night.'”
Nicole, 57, stars alongside Liev Schreiber in ‘The Perfect Couple’ and she relished the experience of working with the 56-year-old actor.
Nicole said: “I love working with him because he’s one of the greats.”
The Hollywood star always thought that Liev was the perfect candidate for the role.
She shared: “I said, ‘You got to give me Liev because I got to have a husband, a scene partner, to play with, who’s going to be really, really rigorous with the script.”
Elsewhere, Nicole stars in ‘Babygirl’, the new erotic thriller film, and the actress recently admitted that she hopes it proves to be a “liberating story” for women.
The acclaimed actress confessed that she found making the movie to be a “very freeing” experience.
She said at the Venice Film Festival: “This is one woman’s story and this is, I hope, a very liberating story.
“It’s told by a woman, through her gaze – Halina [Reijn] wrote it and she directed it – and that’s to me what made it so unique because suddenly I was going to be in the hands of a woman with this material. It was very dear to our shared instincts and very freeing.”

Gracie Abrams: The internet used to be more fun

OHMYGOSSIP — Gracie Abrams thinks the internet used to be “more fun”.
The 24-year-old singer believes websites like Instagram have come full circle and Gracie has welcomed the recent evolution of the internet.
She told WhoWhatWear: “This summer, there’s been something that’s felt oddly reminiscent of earlier days of Instagram, when it felt like the internet was more fun.
Gracie credits Charli XCX and her ‘Brat’ album for instigating the change.
She said: “Everyone’s actually enjoying scrolling and seeing s***.”
Gracie also cherishes the support for she’s received from other female artists over recent years.
The singer explained: “There are women who have been doing this for way longer than I have who are such icons, and when you see them being supportive of one another, it makes intimidating rooms feel warmer immediately.
“It also doesn’t feel fake to me. When there’s real, true support, you feel the difference.”
Last year, Gracie opened for Taylor Swift at some of the US gigs on her Eras Tour.
The singer admitted to being wowed by the award-winning star, acknowledging that Taylor has been a big influence on her life and her music career.
Gracie told The Sunday Times newspaper: “When I met her, it kind of felt like we had known each other already, which I’m sure there was an element of just like the parasocial relationship thing. I’ve grown up with her voice in my headphones my entire life.”
The ‘Risk’ hitmaker also appreciated Taylor’s advice about her music and her health, including tips for overcoming a back problem.
Gracie said: “She recommended an acupressure mat that really turned things around for me.”

Demi Lovato calls for ‘protections’ for child stars

OHMYGOSSIP — Demi Lovato wants “protections” to be introduced for child stars.
The 32-year-old singer shot to stardom as a child, when she appeared on the TV series ‘Barney and Friends’, and Demi now believes that up-and-coming stars should be given more help and support.
In a trailer for a new documentary called ‘Child Star’, Demi says: “Everyone wanted to make it in the industry at a young age.”
The ‘Cool for the Summer’ hitmaker confessed to having serious concerns about the wellbeing of young stars.
Demi – who has previously struggled with alcoholism and drug addiction – said: “It just scares me to hear that these kids are making tens of millions of dollars.
“There have to be protections put in place.”
Demi previously claimed that the world has entered a “new era of child stardom”.
The pop singer has directed the ‘Child Star’ documentary and she’s determined to provide some “insight” into the issue.
Demi told PEOPLE: “I want this to give some insight into what it’s like to become a child performer, whether it’s acting or through music, but in the entertainment industry because my parents didn’t get that before I was a child star.”
Demi believes her own parents never really understood the pressures of child stardom.
However, Demi also acknowledged that social media has changed the landscape for young stars.
The singer – who suffered a near-fatal drug overdose back in 2018 – said: “It’s also important because we’re now in the digital age with TikTok, YouTube and social media where children are becoming famous for unboxing toys, and it’s a new era of child stardom. So having that conversation is important as well.”

Charli XCX doesn’t judge success by album sales

OHMYGOSSIP — Charli XCX’s definition of success has changed.
The 32-year-old pop star’s latest album, ‘Brat’, has been well-received by fans and critics – but Charli doesn’t judge her success by album sales.
She told i-D magazine: “My perspective on what qualifies as success has changed.
“For me, success is the fact that I made this record exactly the way that I have made it: with the people that I love, and I’ve made no sacrifices on it.
“Of course, it’s an added bonus that a lot of people seem to be into it, but that also comes with public takedowns and a lot of other s*** that I don’t necessarily love.”
Charli feels she’s actually developed a better, healthier perspective on her own career in recent years.
The ‘360’ hitmaker shared: “I was not in any way expecting what happened to happen.
“I knew I’d made a great record. You always hope ‘maybe more people will hear this one’ but it’s not really what I live or die by.
“I was definitely more prepared because I understood every single thing that I did for this record and why I did it, down to the placement of the font, down to the reason I sing things in certain timbres, down to the way I look. And I also experienced commercial success in 2014 when I definitely was not ready.
“When I think about myself singing ‘Boom Clap’ or ‘Fancy’ or ‘I Love it’ and not knowing why I was doing certain things in certain ways or why I was wearing certain things or why I was even doing things, period … I think from that to now I’m in such a drastically different place with myself and my artistry and with my confidence, to be honest.”

Winona Ryder’s parents ‘were wary of Hollywood’

OHMYGOSSIP — Winona Ryder’s parents were “very wary of Hollywood”.
The 52-year-old actress shot to stardom in the late 80s – but Winona’s parents were always suspicious of the movie business.
Winona told AnOther Magazine: “I couldn’t work if it coincided with school. My parents – who are just my best friends – were very wary of Hollywood. They associated it with Judy Garland’s tragedy, and we never relocated there.
“That turned out to be such a gift, because I knew a lot of kids who did bear that. They relocated and were supporting their whole family, and it didn’t turn out so great. I knew a lot of kids who got burnout.”
Winona now feels that she found fame at an “interesting” moment in time.
The ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ star said: “I think I came along at an interesting time.
“In the 70s there was this revolution in film but then it’s like they found this formula in the mid-80s in American films, whether it was Rambo or John Hughes, where you’re the kid sister or you’re the daughter. There were girls or there were women. That’s a big reason I wanted to make films like ‘Heathers’ or ‘Little Women’ – because we didn’t have a lot of that adolescent time, in film or literature. Men did. Men had ‘Lord of the Flies’ and Holden Caulfield.”
Meanwhile, Jenna Ortega recently revealed that she relished being able to lean on Winona – her ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ co-star – for advice about dealing with fame.
The 21-year-old actress told MTV: “I’m very grateful to be where I am and she had kind of a similar thing to say.
“It was just so nice to speak to someone who actually understood me because … you know, you can turn to your family who loves and supports you, but they don’t know. You know?
“It was really insightful and opening – and that was definitely one of the things we connected on.”

Shakira settled tax case ‘to protect her children’

OHMYGOSSIP — Shakira settled her Spanish tax case in a bid to “protect” her children.
The 47-year-old pop star agreed to pay a $7.5 million fine in her tax fraud case last year – but Shakira maintains that she wasn’t guilty.
The ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ hitmaker – who has sons Milan, 11, and Sasha, nine, with former soccer star Gerard Pique – said in the Spanish newspaper El Mundo: “I want to leave my children the legacy of a woman who explained her reasons calmly and in her own time, when she considered it necessary, not when she was forced to.
“I need them to know that I made the decisions I made to protect them, to be by their side and to get on with my life. Not out of cowardice or guilt.”
Shakira accused the Spanish authorities of “burning [her] at the stake” in order to make themselves look better.
The pop star decided to live in Spain as an expatriate in 2015, and she was accused of tax fraud in 2018.
Shakira – who split from Gerard in 2022 – added: “What seemed like a polite way of formalising my situation turned out to be a trap.
“A person who spends their time touring the world cannot have the intention of being a tax resident in a place just because the person they are in a relationship with at the time lives there.”
Shakira insisted that she’s “always fulfilled” her tax obligations – but she feels that now is the right time to speak out.
She said: “There may be those who wonder why I am bothering to make these statements now. The first reason is my children. We have lived in an era marked by a tone of arrogance from the State, but bullying is not the same as giving reasons.
“Things are not solved by burning one public figure at the stake every year as if it were an Inquisition trial in order to recover lost prestige.”

Gordon Ramsay couldn’t dress himself after bike accident

OHMYGOSSIP — Gordon Ramsay was unable to dress himself after his horror cycling accident.
The 57-year-old chef – who has six children with wife Tana – was left severely bruised and in pain following a “really bad” smash on his bike in June, and he’s admitted the swelling was initially so bad, he was left feeling like a “95-year-old man” because he needed his assistant Justin Mandel to help with everything.
He told the new issue of Britain’s Men’s Health magazine: “I couldn’t even put my f****** socks and pants on. Justin, he used to dress me in the morning. I felt like a f****** 95-year-old man. Asking a 30-year-old kid to put my f******underpants on was embarrassing.”
Gordon explained the accident occurred when his front wheel hit a “crater-like pothole”, causing his bike to spin and him to go flying through the air – but he still tried to continue riding, only to realise his helmet had split completely.
His vision then grew blurry and he was bleeding a lot.
He recalled: “I honestly thought I was going to pass out.”
But the ‘Food Stars’ host managed to contact his assistant, who called an ambulance, where scans showed he had no broken bones.
Meanwhile, Gordon – who has been undergoing daily lymphatic drainage massages and physio to reduce the swelling from the accident – insisted he has no plans to slow down or retire.
He said: “I could sit back, put my feet up, buy a boat and f*** off to the Caribbean, but I have no interest in that.
“I love the jeopardy… and I can do that because I’m fit.
“I can do that because I’ve got the drive. When I haven’t got the drive, then I’ll decide to hang up the hat…
“I started with nothing. I grew up with mum and dad not even owning their own house, so you don’t obsess over money, and you don’t get spoiled. I love luxury. I love cars, but f*** me, do I work hard for them.”
The full interview can be seen in the new issue of Men’s Health UK, which is on sale from 10 September, or at http://www.menshealth.com/uk/fitness/a62043427/gordon-ramsay-mens-health/

Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh has to be ‘mindful’ of everything she posts on social media

OHMYGOSSIP — Kimberley Walsh is “mindful of everything” she posts on social media.
The 42-year-old pop star – who has Bobby, nine, Cole, seven, and three-year-old Nate with her husband Justin Scott – doesn’t want to spread any kind of “negativity” with her online presence and tries to show the “good stuff” in her life but doesn’t feel like she needs to be posting constantly to begin with.
She told OK! Magazine: “I’m mindful of everything that I post. The last thing I’d ever want to do is make anyone feel bad or in any way negative because of social media. I do show my reality but equally I don’t delve too deep. I’m not of the generation where every last thing is posted.
“I do tend to post only the good stuff because that’s the only time I ever think to get my camera out! I don’t ever think to record a bad situation. It’s not that we don’t have the usual toddler tantrums and things like that, but I just wouldn’t have time to get my phone out and film! Respect to people who can document everything, but I just don’t give it too much thought. I think it’s a generational thing.”
Kimberley is best known as part of the BRIT Award-winning pop group Girls Aloud alongside Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and the late Sarah Harding – who died in 2021 at the age of 39 following a battle with breast cancer – and after she and her surviving bandmates headed out on the road for the first time in over a decade earlier this year, her kids were “a bit taken aback” to see the intense fame that comes with their mother’s career.
She said: “At first they were a bit taken aback, thinking, ‘What’s going on?!’ But once they got their heads round it they loved it, and they’ve got this newfound street cred at school!
“It’s totally new to them, but even Nate, who’s three, understands it all, which is crazy. Bobby totally gets it, and Cole loves watching us on stage and loves the band and the music – but I’m not sure he loves that it’s me doing it. He just wants me to be his mum, which I totally appreciate.”

Bonnie Wright reveals her husband had never seen Harry Potter when they met

OHMYGOSSIP — Bonnie Wright’s husband had never seen ‘Harry Potter’ when they met.
The 33-year-old actress – who tied the knot with Andrew Lococo in 2022 and went on to have son Elio, 12 months, with him – started her career as a child when she was cast as Ginny Weasley in the blockbuster adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s magical book series alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint but revealed that her significant other has still not read the books and still hasn’t seen all of the films.
She told Us Weekly: “He hadn’t actually seen any of the films before we met, so we haven’t finished all of them. We did it a bit out of order when, randomly, we went once with all our family to one of those city concerts they do where you listen to the score while you watch it.
“So, he’d only got up to, like, ‘Goblet of Fire’, and then we suddenly went to watch ‘Deathly Hallows Part 1’, and I was like, ‘You have missed a vital section!’ So we need to go back a bit. But he’s never read the books, so I hope he can be part of it with our son. I’m sure he will.”
The ‘Who Killed Nelson Nutmeg?’ star is keen to introduce her son to the fantasy series when he is old enough and will be trying to encourage him to read as she still speaks to teachers today who are so grateful for the ‘Harry Potter’ books because of how they impacted literacy.
She said: “I really hope he loves the world, and I meet so many kids now who are six years old, seven years old — not obviously alive at all when this was going on — and they’re just in the world, they love it,
“I think it’s just so special that so many new generations of fans will love it and find something in the story that resonates with them. And I speak to so many parents when it comes to reading that or teachers that are like, ‘Oh, my gosh, we’re so grateful to Harry Potter because it genuinely has inspired more reading, literacy, everything.”

Elle Macpherson endured secret cancer battle she says was a ‘shock’

OHMYGOSSIP — Elle Macpherson endured a secret cancer battle she says was a “shock”.
The 60-year-old model has used her new memoir to reveal she was diagnosed with the disease seven years ago – but chose not to undergo chemotherapy.
After undergoing a lumpectomy, she was diagnosed with HER2-positive, oestrogen receptor intraductal carcinoma but went against the advice of 32 doctors to have traditional, but gruelling, medical procedures to treat the illness.
She said in her book ‘Elle’: “It was a shock, it was unexpected, it was confusing, it was daunting in so many ways and it really gave me an opportunity to dig deep in my inner sense to find a solution that worked for me.”
Elle also revealed her medics initially recommended she get a mastectomy, followed by radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and breast reconstruction.
But the model – who is fanatical about holistic health and well-being – instead had a meditation session on a Miami beach and decided to pursue an “intuitive, heart-led, holistic approach” under the guidance of a medic who specialises in integrative medicine.
It’s a practice that mixes modern medicine with mind and body therapies.
Elle said the decision was “the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life” but thought ignoring her gut instinct was wrong – despite admitting people thought she was “crazy”.
Along with her primary doctor, Elle also recruited a naturopath, a holistic dentist, osteopath, chiropractor and two therapists.
She also relocated to Arizona where she rented a house and dedicated eight months to “focusing” and “devoting every single minute” to her healing.
The mother of two, who has sons Flynn, 26, and 21-year-old Cy with her financier ex Arpad Busson is now in “clinical remission”.
After separating from Arpad, 61, Elle married hotel heir Jeffrey Soffer in 2013, before they divorced four years later.
She was recently linked with former doctor Andrew Wakefield – who was banned from practicing medicine in the UK in 2010 and later moved to America.

Prince Harry ‘stayed at his mother Princess Diana’s ancestral home on recent trip to Britain’

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry is said to have stayed at his mother Princess Diana’s ancestral home on his recent trip to Britain.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, stayed with his uncle Charles Spencer at the Althorp House estate following his surprise appearance at the memorial service for his late uncle Lord Robert Fellowes on 29 August, People has reported.
Harry’s uncle was married to Diana’s sister Lady Jane, and was remembered at the service, which was also attended by Prince William, 42, and Diana’s other sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale.
The ceremony came two days before the 27th anniversary of the death of Diana, who was killed aged 36 on 31 August, 1997, in a Paris car crash.
She was remembered by her brother Charles on the anniversary of her passing in an emotional tribute on social media he posted on Saturday. (31.08.24)
He shared an image that showed various photographs and newspaper clippings focusing on Diana – including an article about her christening and a snap of the late royal playing outside as a young girl.
But Charles refrained from including a caption on the moving post.
He is the youngest of five children born to John Spencer and Frances Shand Kydd.
Charles grew up with his three older sisters – Sarah, the eldest, born in 1955, followed by Jane in 1957 and Diana in 1961.
He also had an older brother named John, who was born in 1960 but died just hours later.
Charles admitted after Diana’s death he was haunted by the feeling he could have done more to save her from her tragic end.
He told People: “You always think, God, I wish I could’ve protected her. It was just… it was devastating.
“I always felt intensely protective towards her.”
Charles famously gave the eulogy at Diana’s funeral on 6 September, 1997, at which Sir Elton John, 77, sang his now iconic version of ‘Candle in the Wind’.
He said he was acting as the “representative” of a “family in grief, in a country in mourning, before a world in shock”, before hailing Diana as the “very essence” of compassion, duty, style and beauty – and saying she was the “most hunted person of the modern age”.
Along with Charles’ online tribute, thousands of tourists and royal fans laid flowers and photos of Diana on 31 August at the gates of her former residence Kensington Palace.
Diana was killed in the Paris tunnel crash alongside her partner Dodi Fayed, 42, while her sons Prince William, then 15, and Harry, who was 12 at the time, were on holiday with their father, then Prince Charles at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

Ashley Park feels ‘lucky’ to have her Emily in Paris co-star Paul Forman as her ‘rock’

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashley Park feels “lucky” to have Paul Forman by her side as she navigates fame.
The 33-year-old actress struck up a relationship with her ‘Emily in Paris’ co-star Paul, 30, after meeting him on set for the third season of the Netflix hit and is grateful that he can be with her at events such as red carpet premieres when she starts to feel “really overwhelmed” by everything.
She told Access Hollywood: “It’s so wild. How lucky am I that he’s here with me and he can just be a rock for me when things are chaotic? Sometimes, joyful experiences are really overwhelming so it’s so nice to have my friendship with Lily [Collins], my relationship with Paul and going to all these things with someone that you really care about makes it feel like a joyful day.
“If you both have to be the rocks all the time, then it’ll be okay when you’re both being shiny little stars too.”
The Broadway star – who battled leukaemia when she was 15 – was hospitalised with critical septic shock in January and made a “fluke” recovery but admitted that her ordeal “definitely cemented” her relationship with Paul and knew then that he was the “right one” for her.
She said: “It’s been two years now since we’ve been together, we were a bit private about it at first but [my health scare] definitely cemented things. When you meet a person that you think is the right one and you know is the right one, I feel very settled.”
Ashley was enjoying a vacation with Paul when she fell ill and recently admitted that she probably “wouldn’t have made it” had he not been there to support her.
She told America’s Cosmopolitan magazine: “When I went to the ER and ICU for the first time, I was in the Maldives with Paul. I don’t think I would’ve made it without him. Everybody else was on the other side of the world from us.”

Jason Donovan makes rare comment about his wife and kids as he reveals hopes to become a grandfather

OHMYGOSSIP — Jason Donovan is hoping to become a grandfather soon.
The 56-year-old singer has Jemma, 24, Zac, 23, and nine-year-old Molly his wife Angela Malloch – who he tied the knot with in 2008 after a decade-long relationship – and while he is unsure of any specific plans, is hopeful that grandchildren will arrive in the not-too-distant future.
Speaking on UK TV show ‘Lorraine’, he explained: “We’re still strong together and that’s another success story. She was a stage manager, it was 1998 and the rest is really, sort of, history.
“Three kids later…I don’t have grandchildren yet but I’m on the precipice, maybe, I don’t know. My oldest is 24 so…she’s lovely. “And my 23 year old…I don’t know, you never know, Anything can happen!”
Meanwhile, the ‘Too Many Broken Hearts’ hitmaker – who shot to fame on the Aussie soap opera ‘Neighbours’ and then released a string of hit records alongside his contemporaries like Kylie Minogue, Sonia, and Sinitta – has also carved out a successful career in musical theatre and is currently touring in ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ but has been on a health kick in recent times in order to keep following his passion.
He said:” It is about working hard, following your craft and your passion. I’ve been very lucky, I think you create your own luck, to a certain degree, in life. But timing is everything, I like to keep physically fit and I’ve changed my diet recently, a lot. Not as many processed foods, I’ve cut out coffee and I [drink] a lot more water.
“But I’m in my mid-fifties. Wow, how did that happen? That’s crazy but we’re still here doing it!”

Elle Pacpherson’s eldest son was against her turning to holistic therapies amid secret cancer battle

OHMYGOSSIP — Elle Pacpherson’s eldest son was against her turning to holistic therapies amid her secret breast cancer battle.
The 60-year-old model and mother-of-two has used her new memoir ‘Elle’ to reveal she was diagnosed with the disease seven years ago – but chose not to undergo chemotherapy.
After undergoing a lumpectomy, she was diagnosed with HER2-positive, oestrogen receptor intraductal carcinoma – but went against the advice of 32 doctors and turned to alternative remedies before she was told she was in “clinical remission”.
Elle has sons Flynn, 26, and 21-year-old Cy with her financier ex Arpad Busson, 61, and said they had very different attitudes to her decision to turn away from traditional modern medicine as she fought the disease.
She said her youngest son fully supported her as he believed chemotherapy was a “kiss of death” – but admitted her eldest had reservations about her decision.
Elle said in her book: “Flynn, being more conventional, wasn’t comfortable with my choice at all.
“He is my son, though, and would support me through anything and love me through my choices, even if he didn’t agree with them.”
Elle also said Arpad, from whom she split in 2005 after almost ten years with him, “didn’t agree” with her approach to her treatment.
But she said he wrote a letter telling her how “proud” he was of “the courage I was showing”.
She added in her book about her diagnosis: “It was a shock, it was unexpected, it was confusing, it was daunting in so many ways and it really gave me an opportunity to dig deep in my inner sense to find a solution that worked for me.”
Elle revealed her medics initially recommended she get a mastectomy, followed by radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and breast reconstruction.

Ronnie Wood selling special prints of Freddie Mercury portrait in fundraising drive

OHMYGOSSIP — Ronnie Wood is selling special prints of his portrait of Freddie Mercury to raise funds for a trust set up in the late singer’s name.
The Rolling Stones guitarist, 77, has spent years honing his art skills alongside his music, and has released £799 editions of his painting of the Queen singer, who was killed by AIDS-related complications aged 45 in 1991.
Ronnie said on his Instagram page on Tuesday (03.09.24) alongside a series of pictures of a framed version of the print: “NEW ART RELEASED! Ronnie’s study of @freddiemercury is a tribute to one of the greatest singers in rock ’n’ roll history.
“‘The Mercury’ depicts Freddie in an iconic pose in his iconic yellow jacket worn at @officialqueenmusic’s legendary Live Aid performance.
“Profits from the sale will benefit the @mercuryphoenixtrust.”
Digital prints of the image, which have been numbered and individually hand signed by Ronnie, are from a limited edition run of 250.
The Mercury Phoenix Trust, which is getting a chunk of profits from sales of the prints, was founded by Freddie’s Queen bandmates Brian May, 77, Roger Taylor, 75, and their manager Jim Beach, 82, in memory of the singer.
It says on its site about its mission: “The dreadful toll of the Covid pandemic is slowly being revealed and it has especially impacted on women and girls, with a huge increase in teenage pregnancies, violence to women, domestic abuse and of course AIDS.
“Charities estimate much of their work and achievements over the last twenty years has been undone but they are eager to start again and regain lost ground.
“For many years, the MPT has focused on funding Education and Awareness projects in the developing world, believing that knowledge and prevention are key to tackling this terrible disease.
“The projects funded cover a breadth of education and awareness issues, ranging from educating grandparents looking after their grandchildren orphaned by AIDS in Cambodia, to preventing mother to child transmission in South Africa, to HIV awareness theatre in Papua New Guinea and educating sexually active youth globally.
“Although the MPT donates to the large NGOs and well-known charities, the greater part of funding goes direct to small grassroots organisations, which the bigger charities tend to overlook.
“By doing so, the MPT makes a real difference. We are proud of the fact that more that 93p in each pound we raise goes to funding projects spread across the globe and in total the MPT has funded well over 1,500 projects in 57 countries, giving away over 17 million pounds in the global battle against AIDS.”

Brad Pitt ‘very affectionate and cheerful’ in Venice with girlfriend Ines De Ramon

OHMYGOSSIP — Brad Pitt is said to have been “very affectionate and cheerful” with girlfriend Ines De Ramon as he made their relationship ‘red carpet official’.
The 60-year-old actor is thought to have been dating the jewellery designer, 34, for two years but the pair only made their first public appearance together on Sunday (01.09.24) evening at the premiere of his new film ‘Wolfs’ at the 81st Venice Film Festival.
The pair have also shared date nights with their friends George and Amal Clooney in the city – and a source told Page Six about how Brad and Ines looked when the foursome were hanging out around the pool bar at the Cipriani Hotel: “(Brad) seemed very happy. They were very affectionate and cheerful. It was very sweet.
“All of them were in great spirits, and cheerful. There were lots of laughs.”
Brad is said to have been seen leaving the Cipriani with his “hands around de Ramon’s waist”, before they and the Clooneys jumped in a water taxi to head to dinner at the Ristorante da Ivo.
Brad is in Venice to promote his and 63-year-old George’s new movie ‘Wolfs’, which sees them starring opposite each other as rival fixers forced to work together on the same job.
The trip comes after it was reported Brad and Ines have reportedly been holidaying in the grounds of the French winery that is at the centre of a dispute between him and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, 49.
He has been embroiled in a long and bitter legal battle with the ‘Maleficent’ actress over how she sold her share in the Château Miraval vineyard where they got married.
A source recently told Page Six Brad has been “getting in plenty of quality time” with Ines at the French retreat.
The insider added: “He is living his life. Angelina has already done the worst thing she can do, which is separating the kids from their father.”
Brad claims he gave his ex Angelina half the winery as a wedding gift, with the condition that if she ever wanted to sell it she had to offer it to him first.
But the ‘Maleficent’ actress sold her share to a third party and Brad claims it was a breach of the deal.
