OHMYGOSSIP — Jennie Garth no longer sees acting as her “first priority”.
The 52-year-old star has revealed that she doesn’t have the desire to spend hours and hours on a film or TV set these days.
Jennie – who previously played Kelly Taylor in the the ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ franchise – told PEOPLE: “I love acting, I love being in front of the camera. I do not love being on a movie set.
“I don’t love sitting in my trailer waiting for lighting and everything else, I just don’t. And I don’t love being away from my family all those hours. So I was able to say, that’s not my first priority anymore.”
Jennie has developed an entirely new outlook on life and her career since turning 50.
She shared: “The turning 50’s a big deal to the world, but it is really a big deal. You start to look at things a little differently. You have a new clarity about what you want to do next [and] what you want to spend your precious time doing.
“I was able, at least, to say, I don’t want to do this, this and this anymore. I want to focus on something else. And then, you have that clarity within yourself to believe it.
“I decided that I would like to focus on trying to help people or spread some positivity with whatever I do. That’s the message behind the brand, Me by Jennie Garth, and the ‘I Choose Me’ podcast. It’s all about trying to help people.”
Jennie recently launched her new fashion line with QVC, and the actress revealed her overarching hopes for the brand.
She said: “[I] just really want to create looks for women who may need a little help with their outfit choices and maybe they want to reinvent themselves.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Christina Applegate had plastic surgery to remove her eye bags.
The ‘Married… with Children’ actress, 52, said she went under the knife decades ago as a “very famous” TV boss told her they were “too big” and causing problems with lighting her face on set.
She told her and former ‘The Sopranos’ actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, 43, on their ‘Messy’ podcast: “I was on a show and one of the producers – a very famous (producer) who did a very famous show as well – said, ‘Hey, we’re having a lot of trouble lighting under your eyes. The bags under your eyes are so big’.
“(He said) get them removed. (They were) a hereditary thing… (my father) has got Louis Vuitton luggage under his eyes.
“You know what I did? At 27 years old, I had the only plastic surgery I’ve ever had to remove the bags under my eyes… I went under.”
Christina also blasted the producer for making her feel “shame” by “plant(ing) seeds into (my) head (about my looks)”.
The actress last year hit back at a web troll who put her changing looks down to plastic surgery instead of her battle with multiple sclerosis, with which she was diagnosed with in 2021.
She said on Twitter the hater wasn’t being “nice”, when the social media user claimed the Golden Globe nominee had a “bad” plastic surgeon.
Christina said she “laughed” at the comment, asking her followers: “What is wrong with people?”
The actress has told Jamie – who was diagnosed with MS 22 years ago – her health struggles have had a devastating impact on her life.
She said in June she didn’t “enjoy living” and was sunk in “depression”.
But the actress later clarified she was “good” and wasn’t “sitting here on suicide watch” despite suffering “dark thoughts”.

OHMYGOSSIP — Richard Simmons sent notes and pictures to fans he helped lose weight.
The fitness was found dead at his home on Belfast Drive, Los Angeles, after emergency workers responded to a 911 call from his long-term housekeeper Teresa Reveles on 13 July – with his passing coming a day after he turned 76 and four months after he told fans he had been diagnosed with skin cancer.
He has now been remembered for his acts of kindness by a string of fans who have shared their stories of meeting him and getting his help on their weight loss journeys.
One called Maxanne told People in a tribute story on the flamboyant exercise fanatic: “I had the privilege of meeting Richard many years ago. I did his ‘Deal a Meal’ and lost a considerable amount of weight.
“It was the pictures and notes he sent that meant so much. I even went on stage to exercise with him.
“I whispered to him, ‘I’m Max’, and he knew who I was. I will never forget how he made me feel special that day.”
Another fan called Michael told the magazine: “Years ago I met him in the Salt Lake City airport while we were waiting for a plane to Washington D.C.. He was so gracious and funny.
“I asked if I could take a picture with him. He said, ‘Of course you can honey’ and then gave me a big hug and called me a ‘teddy bear’.
“A genuine and nice person.”
Yet another fan said Richard invited them into his limo to have a chat after they met at a radio station.
The tributes come after Richard’s long-time housekeeper said she believes the late fitness guru was killed by a heart attack.
Teresa, who discovered his body the morning after his 76th birthday, told People she noticed his hands were balled into fists when she found him.
She said: “That’s why I know it was heart attack. I had a heart attack a few years ago, and my hands did the same.”
Teresa added her ex-boss looked “peaceful” and she believed he “died happy”.

OHMYGOSSIP — Josh Hartnett loves that his children go to school in England as there are no guns.
The 46-year-old Minnesota-born actor turned his back on Hollywood to move to a country farm in Hampshire with his British actress wife Tamsin Egerton, 35, with whom he has four kids, and he’s now admitted the quieter life is what he values most after making the move from his native America.
Appearing to reference the school shootings that have blighted the US, he told presenter Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 6 Music: “I guess what I appreciate now with my kids is… there are plenty of things.
“I don’t want to get political, but it’s nice not having guns in school – that’s a very nice thing for the children.”
Josh went on about now being steeped in UK culture: “I would say that I’m quite assimilated at this point. It’s difficult to be fully assimilated as an American, because the cultures are so different, honestly… (but) I love living in the countryside here, I’ve loved living in London before, and it’s an adventure. “It’s fun to live life as an adventure.”
“We have, I think, a really wonderful little community that we have at our school, and I don’t know what it would be like in the States. Everything’s different.
“Not just because I’m in the UK but because I’m in the countryside and we have a tiny little small holding, like a farm.”
Josh added he keeps four goats called Olive, Poppy, Lavender and Grape which he said were named by his kids after things they liked when they took a holiday to France.
He recently told The Guardian one of the main reasons he left Hollywood was due to a string of scary stalker incidents.
Josh added: “People’s attention to me at the time was borderline unhealthy. There were incidents. People showed up at my house.
“People that were stalking me. A guy showed up at one of my premieres with a gun, claiming to be my father. He ended up in prison.
“I just didn’t want my life to be swallowed up by my work. And there was a notion at that time you just kind of give it all up.
“And you saw what happened to some people back then. They got obliterated by it. I didn’t want that for myself.
“There were lots of things. It was a weird time. And I wasn’t going to be grist for the mill.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Angelina Jolie’s son Pax is said to be “stable” after his e-bike accident.
The mother-of-six ‘Maleficent’ actress, 49, reportedly raced to be by her boy’s side when the 20-year-old was hospitalised following his crash at around 5pm on Monday (29.07.24) when he was on Los Feliz Boulevard, Los Angeles.
A source has now told Page Six he is “stable”, adding Angelina “is by Pax’s side at the hospital as he recuperates”.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ Pax smashed his electric bicycle into a stopped vehicle at a congested intersection when a traffic light turned red.
The driver reportedly hopped out of the car to check on Pax before first responders were called.
Pax – said not to have been wearing a helmet at the time of the incident – reportedly suffered a head injury and was left with hip pain and was then rushed to hospital for treatment.
Page Six said even though paramedics were worried that Pax was experiencing minor brain bleeding, it is understood he is “doing better” and “may be discharged” from hospital later on Tuesday (30.07.24.)
Along with Pax, Angelina has five other children with her 60-year-old ‘Fight Club’ actor ex – Maddox, 22, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
Angelina and Brad started dating in 2004 and married 10 years later – but split in 2016 and have been since been embroiled in bitter battles over child custody and ownership deals linked to their French vineyard.
Brad initially won a 50-50 custody agreement that was sealed for privacy in 2021 but overturned later the same year.
The exes were declared legally single in 2019 but their battles over custody, as well as their Chateau Miraval winery fight, are ongoing.

OHMYGOSSIP — Zach Braff put Jean Smart through “bong school” on the set of ‘Garden State’.
The ‘Scrubs’ actor, 49, wrote, directed and starred in his 2004 cult classic indie film about a depressed actor who returns to his home town and starts hanging out with his stoner friends while falling on love with kooky office worker Samantha, played by Natalie Portman, 43.
Actress Jean, 72, played Carol, the pot-smoking recovering alcoholic mother of Zach’s character’s friend Mark (Peter Sarsgaard) – and she has now told how she had never smoked pot from a bong before she had to film scenes doing so for the movie.
She told The Hollywood Reporter as part of an oral history record about making the movie: “I affectionately refer to my role as ‘Skank Mom’. I just thought the script was so amazing. I knew (Zach) was incredibly smart and clever, and I thought, ‘This will be really fun’.
“It was just one of those sets where it was fun to just wait for the next setup.
“Zach was teasing me so bad because I had never used a bong. I can’t believe that I’m admitting that since I went to college in the ’70s, but I had never smoked a bong.
“So he would make these big announcements: ‘Okay, after lunch break, I’m going to take Jean to bong school’.
“I had to learn a little lesson – a bong lesson. It was embarrassing.”
Zach recalled in the oral history collection of memories from making the film his then-girlfriend Bonnie Somerville, now 50, insisted Jean play Carol after working with the Hollywood character actress veteran on the NBC sitcom ‘In-Laws’.
He said: “I didn’t know Jean’s work that much at the time, but then I did a little research and I was like, ‘Wow, she’s perfect. Do you think she’d do it?’
“And Jean said yes. She was pitch perfect.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Riley Keough is going on a book tour to promote her mother’s upcoming posthumous memoir.
The actress, 35, was left devastated when her mum Lisa Marie Presley – Elvis Presley’s only child – died on 12 January 2023 aged 54 from a bowel obstruction linked to complications from weight loss surgery years earlier.
She has now announced she will going on the road to mark the release of the ‘From Here to the Great Unknown’ book, which she helped finish after Lisa Marie’s death.
Its publisher Random House said on social media: “Sometimes the most famous among us are the least known. Join @RileyKeough for a one-of-a-kind conversation as she pays tribute to her mother Lisa Marie Presley’s incredible memory with the release of their memoir, ‘FROM HERE TO THE GREAT UNKNOWN’.”
The publisher added Riley will be joined by a special guest in six different cities as she delves into a “legendary tale of American royalty, family ties, the highs and lows of fame, love, grief, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter”.
The book tour is set to start in New York on 9 October and make stops in St Louis, Nashville, London and Memphis – at Elvis’ Graceland estate – before winding up in Los Angeles on 20 October.
The cover of Lisa Marie’s book features an illustration of her as a youth with her father Elvis, who died aged 42 in 1977.
It deals with how Lisa Marie coped with his passing and her experiences with addiction.
Riley used tapes she recorded before her death to finish the autobiography.
She said in a statement about the project: “Few people had the opportunity to know who my mom really was, other than being Elvis’s daughter.
“I was lucky to have had that opportunity and working on preparing her autobiography for publication has been a privilege, albeit a bittersweet one. “I’m so excited to share my mom now, at her most vulnerable and most honest, and in doing so, I do hope that readers come to love my mom as much as I did.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Eminem invented his Slim Shady alter ego as his music was “going nowhere”.
The 51-year-old rapper – born Marshall Bruce Mathers III – soared to global fame with his 2000 hit ‘The Real Slim Shady’, and in a video titled ‘Slim Shady vs Marshall Mathers: The Face-Off’ to go with his cover story for Complex magazine, the musician reflected how his performing persona came about – before saying it pushed him into addiction.
He told a younger AI generated version of himself in the clip: “I invented you because my life was f***** up. My music was going nowhere and I was broke.”
But he attacked his alter ego by declaring: “You didn’t fix anything. You actually made that s*** worse.
“You’re the reason I had to self-medicate. Because of you I almost lost my f****** career, my f****** family, my life.
“Life’s been great since you’ve been gone.”
Eminem, who has been clean and sober for years after his well-documented addiction battles, recently released his latest studio album ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)’ and hours before it came out the rapper told fans on X: “Public service announcement: the ‘Death of Slim Shady’ is a conceptual album, therefore, if you listen to songs out of order they might not make sense. Enjoy.”
Eminem has also shared an obituary for Slim Shady in the Detroit Free Press, declaring him dead ahead of the release of the record.
It said: “A product of Detroit who began his career there as a rogue splinter in the flourishing underground rap scene of the mid to late 1990s, Shady first became a household name in 1999 with the debut of his playfully deranged single ‘My Name Is’, which – along with its uniquely eye catching video – exposed the young artist and his lyrics to a wider audience.
“Ultimately, the very things that seemed to be the tools he used became calling cards that defined an existence that could only come to a sudden and horrific end.
“His complex and tortured existence has come to a close, and the legacy he leaves behind is no closer to resolution than the manner in which this character departed this world.
“May he truly find the peace in an afterlife that he could not find on Earth.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Selena Gomez was “so depressed” in her ‘It Girl era’.
The singer, 32, is happily settled with her 36-year-old music producer boyfriend Benny Blanco – who she has been dating since June 2023 — and has now reflected on how unhappy she was in her youth, which included her getting photographed by paparazzi while dating her ex Justin Bieber.
She opened up about how she had the blues at the time in a reaction to throwback footage of herself posted on social media showing her getting snapped by photographs and posing with a fan.
The TikTok clip was set to her ex Justin’s song ‘Company’, with a caption the video saying: “I know and so do you that at the time she would never have gotten engaged to Benny (Blanco) (when) she was in her IT GIRL era’.
Text over the video also said Selena’s former self “would never date Benny Blanco”.
Selena hit back: “Kinda makes me laugh because I was so depressed back then lol.”
The singer dated Justin, 30, on and off for eight years and a few months after she and Justin split in 2018 he married Hailey Bieber, 27, with whom he is expecting his first child – something Selena has not publicly commented on.
Selena has told how she loves how Benny treats her, saying online in December: “He has treated me better than any human being on this planet.”
She added to Time magazine the musician is not “fazed” when her critics say “the most hurtful things”.
Benny celebrated her 32nd birthday by buying her a jewel-encrusted necklace in the shape of his first initial.
Selena showed off her diamond-covered ‘B’ necklace – a 14-karat gold, diamond-studded piece from Los Angeles-based brand Baby Gold, which sells for $600 – in a photo posted on Instagram.
Benny commented on the image: “I got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain” – in reference to Jay-Z’s lyric from his ‘Public Service Announcement’ track.

OHMYGOSSIP — Elizabeth Banks nearly choked to death making her latest film.
The 50-year-old ‘Hunger Games’ and ‘Pitch Perfect’ actress was making the movie ‘Skincare’ when she was hit by “my first choking incident” while alone in her trailer on a break from shooting.
She told ‘Good Morning America’ the “scary” ordeal happened when she was enjoying lunch and a “little green pea” got lodged in her throat.
Elizabeth added: “I threw the door open – couldn’t make any noise, was so afraid. It was terrifying.”
She was spotted by a crew member who came over and asked “Are you choking?” before she was able to croak “Yes” – prompting him to “very calmly” give her the Heimlich manoeuvre.
Elizabeth added: “He had to do it twice. His name is Julius. He is my guardian angel. Julius, I love you.”
She said that after he “saved (her) life” she wanted to use her platform to encourage people to learn how to do the Heimlich.
Elizabeth went on: “Make sure you know how to do it. Talk to your friends and
family about it.”
The first aid technique consists of an individual applying pressure against the abdomen of the choking victim to force out the object blocking their airway.
Elizabeth added the world is full of misconceptions about the method, including worries it could crack people’s ribs.
She said: “They’re dying, so crack a rib if you have to. I would’ve been fine with a cracked rib. I literally couldn’t breathe, and it was super scary.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jamie Dornan has reportedly been cast as the new Diet Coke hunk.
The ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ actor, 42, is said to be replacing supermodel Kate Moss, 50, as the face of the brand, in a marketing relaunch that will apparently involve a new take on the soft drink giant’s iconic break ad – which famously saw actor Luck Vanous, now 63, drooled over by a bunch of female office workers as he peeled off his top and enjoyed an ice-cold drink of low-fat Coca-Cola.
Insiders told The Sun Jamie has already filmed his advert campaign at an outdoor pool in London, with one source telling the newspaper: “Jamie shot a huge campaign for Diet Coke just recently at a lido in South London.
“This is going to be absolutely massive and Coca-Cola has thrown a lot of money at it.
“Jamie’s deal is worth millions and they think it’s going to pay dividends with giving fans a bit of nostalgia.
“As well as a TV advert with Jamie, there will be a massive push on billboards and social media.”
Jamie is said to be worth around £11 million and along with his role as Christian Grey in the ‘Fifty Shades’ franchise is also renowned for his role as serial killer Paul Spector in the BBC’s ‘The Fall’.
A 2014 interview with Jamie for The Guardian noted he ordered a full-fat Coke with his meal.
When asked why he didn’t go for Diet, he said he doesn’t need to watch what he drinks and eats and appears to naturally stay in shape.
The interview profile said he usually drinks beer and opens a bottle of wine every night after helping his wife Amelia Warner, 42, put their then 11-month-old daughter to bed.
Jamie, who now has two other children with musician Amelia, said he ate “any old c***”, adding: “I could eat 10 packs of Hula Hoops a day and not think about it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Miriam Margolyes has been registered disabled.
The ‘Harry Potter’ actress, 83, admitted she is struggling to walk as she gave an update on her health, in which she also confessed she regrets not making serious life changes after undergoing an operation in 2023 that saw her have a transcatheter aortic valve replacement to avoid more invasive open-heart surgery.
She told Closer about how she is suffering spinal stenosis – a condition that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves: “I can’t walk very well, and I’m registered disabled, so I use all kinds of assistance.
“I’ve got two sticks and a walker and they’re such a bore, but I’ve just got a mobility scooter, which is a lot of fun.
Miriam added in her interview she wished she had been able to conquer her weight and considers not doing so a defeat.
She previously told the ‘How to Fail’ podcast: “I am a blubber mass. I am fat. And to be fat and 82 is truly pathetic.”
Miriam has also shared her fears about ageing and said she is scared she will not be afford carers to look after her as her health deteriorates.
She told Radio Times: “I’m worried that I won’t have enough money for carers when I finally get paralysed, or whatever it is that’s going to happen to me.”
Miriam is now focusing on saving cash to provide for her and her partner Heather, with whom she has been with since 1968.
She has a payday coming from fronting a new series of BBC Two’s ‘Miriam Margolyes: A New Australian Adventure’ and makes videos
for fans on the Cameo website, where she charges £100 for a special greeting clip.
She estimates it has netted her £365,000 since 2020, and in 2023 she earned
£250,000 for her memoir ‘Oh Miriam!’

OHMYGOSSIP — Halsey “regrets” returning to music because she’s been viciously trolled by “mean” fans.
The 29-year-old singer took time off after being struck down by autoimmune condition Lupus and a rare lymphoproliferative disorder, but made a comeback last month when she released new single ‘The End’ which was followed by ‘Lucky’ weeks later – but Halsey has confessed she regrets getting back to work because she’s been given such a tough time by her own fans.
In a post on Tumblr, she explained: “My own fans are hands down meaner to me than any other people on the planet. Not speaking for all of you, of course, but it used to be just a minority that were awful to me and now it seems like a majority have only stuck around to chime in occasionally with their opinion of how much they hate me or how awful I am.”
She went on: “[It’s difficult to] to want to engage in a space that is completely devoid of any kindness, sympathy, patience; or to be honest human decency. Especially after years of hiding from the interactions for fear that this EXACT thing would happen.
“I don’t know man. I almost lost my life. I am not gonna do anything that doesn’t make me happy anymore. I can’t spiritually afford it …”
Halsey concluded by declaring she is having second thoughts about returning to music, adding: “When I got sick all I could think about was getting better so I could come back and be a part of THIS again, but I don’t even know what *this* is anymore and I want to crawl in a hole and I regret coming back.”
Halsey – who was born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane – previously updated her fans about her health struggles revealing she had a “rocky” start but doctors have managed to get her symptoms under control.
In a post on Instagram last month, she wrote: “I was first diagnosed with Lupus SLE and then a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder.
“Both of which are currently being managed or in remission; and both of which I will likely have for the duration of my life.
“After a rocky start, I slowly got everything under control with the help of amazing doctors. After two years, I’m feeling better and I’m more grateful than ever to have music to turn to.
“I can’t wait to get back where I belong: With you all … singing and screaming my heart out.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicola Peltz Beckham has sued a dog groomer over claims her pet chihuahua Nala died after suffering “intentional and malicious abuse”.
The 29-year-old actress was left heartbroken following Nala’s death last month which she claims came just two hours after the dog was groomed by HoundSpa employee Jony Ceballos and she has now filed a lawsuit against Ceballos, HoundSpa LLC and the company’s owner Deborah Gittleman in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Westchester, on Tuesday (30.07.24).
In the lawsuit, Nicola claims Nala’s death was caused by Ceballos’ alleged “intentional and malicious abuse of dogs.”
It added: “Nala went into the grooming van, a happy, healthy dog, but returned injured and in severe physical distress – breathing heavily and wheezing, with her chest pulsating. Nala’s tongue was blue, she had fluid in her lungs, and she suffered neurological damage.
“Nala was put on oxygen and cared for as Nicola distressingly and emotionally witnessed her dog suffer.”
According to PEOPLE.com, the lawsuit accuses the company of “reckless and malicious conduct” for keeping Ceballos employed following an alleged “history of complaints” about him “repeatedly” mistreating animals.
The suit added: “This case is about holding responsible those who abuse animals in their care and shedding light on the lack of protections for pet owners and their beloved dogs and pets.”
Nicola added in a statement to PEOPLE: “[I am] in so much shock and pain over my baby Nala suddenly passing last month following what should have been a routine grooming session.
“I posted the experience on my Instagram to bring awareness, and was heartbroken to hear the horrifying stories from so many others who have experienced the same tragedy. I can’t bear it. I’m outraged to hear how common stories like Nala’s are …
“[I want to] work for changes and laws to help make sure no one else ever has to experience this heartbreak … I’ve dedicated most of my life to saving dogs and I can’t in good conscience let this horrifying act happen to more families.”
Nicola previously took to Instagram to share her heartbreak, writing: “This has been the hardest month of my life. I can’t even find the words to describe my heartbreak on so many levels. Nala was perfectly healthy when she went to the groomers yesterday but came out hyperventilating and couldn’t catch her breath. we rushed her to the vet and she passed hours later.
“I’m sharing this in hopes that it might prevent this from happening to other dogs. Her life was taken away from her way too soon. She was my beautiful queen and stayed by my side for 9 years through everything.
“Please be careful who you send your dogs to because you don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. 1 day without Nala on earth feels like an eternity. I wish I could have her back in my arms … ”
