Hulk Hogan rips shirt off and demands return of ‘Trump-o-mania’

OHMYGOSSIP — Hulk Hogan ripped his shirt off during a speech at the Republican National Convention as he backed Donald Trump to return to the White House.
The veteran wrestler – who has known the former US President for more than 35 years – took to the stage to speak at the event in Milwaukee on Thursday (18.07.24) after Trump was confirmed as the party’s official nominee for the US election in November and he drove the crowd wild by taking off his suit jacket and ripping off a tank top to reveal a red Trump/Vance shirt underneath.
After coming on stage to the tune of his wrestling theme ‘Real American’, he pumped the audience up with his catchphrase, saying: “Well, let me tell you something brother!” before referencing the assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsylvania last Saturday (13.07.24) when a gun man opened fire on the politician leaving Trump with a wounded ear and killing a crowd-member.
Hogan said: “What happened last week …when they took a shot at my hero ….They tried to kill the greatest president of the United States. Enough was enough!!”
He also recalled winning a wrestling world title in front of keen fan Trump and went on to pledge his support to his old friend, adding: “Over my career, I’ve been in the ring with some of the biggest, some of the baddest dudes on the planet, and I’ve squared off against warriors, ooh yeah, savages.
“And I’ve even, like I said, body-slammed giants in the middle of the ring. And I know tough guys, but let me tell you something, brother, Donald Trump is the toughest of them all.
“All you criminals, all you lowlifes, all you scumbags … Whatcha gonna do when Donald Trump and all the Trumpamaniacs run wild on you, brother?”
Hogan added: “As as an entertainer, I tried to stay out of politics, but after everything that’s happened to our country over the past four years and everything that happened last weekend [the assassination attempt], I can no longer be silent.
“I’m here tonight because I want the world to know that Donald Trump is a real American hero, and I’m proud to support my hero as the next president of this United States.
“I’ve known that man for over 35 years, and he’s always been the biggest patriot, and he still is. He’s always told you exactly what he thought, and he still does brother.
“Let Trump-O-Mania rule again, let Trump-O-Mania make America great again!”
Trump – who is a longtime wrestling fan and has long been involved with the WWE – was seen blowing Hogan a kiss as he finished his speech and later gave him a shout-out as he officially accepted the Republican nomination.
He said of Hogan: “I know about entertainment, but when he used to lift a 350 pound man over his shoulders and then bench press him two rows into the audience, I said, that maybe entertainment, but he is one strong son-of-a-gun.”
Trump previously hosted WWE’s flagship event WrestleMania IV and WrestleMania V at his Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, New Jersey and was a regular ringside.
He also took part in 2007’s WrestleMania 23 – which was dubbed ‘Battle of the Billionaires’ – as Trump chose a champion fighter to take on a wrestler chosen by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon with the loser being forced to shave his head.
Trump won and got to keep his famous head of hair and was later seen shaving McMahon’s head. The reality TV star-turned-politician was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013 with his old foe McMahon doing the honours.

Scarlett Johansson refused to voice AI bot as it would be ‘strange’ for her kids

OHMYGOSSIP — Scarlett Johansson refused to voice OpenAI’s chatbot because she worried it would be “strange” for her kids.
The ‘Lost In Translation’ star hit headlines earlier this year when she slammed the company behind ChatGPT for launching a new chatbot called Sky with a voice “eerily similar” to her own after she previously turned down an offer to provide the voice herself – and she’s now insisted she just didn’t want to get involved with the project.
Scarlett told the New York Times: “[I] actively avoided being a part of the [AI] conversation, which was what made it so disturbing. I was like, ‘How did I get wrapped up in this?’ It was crazy. I was so angry.
“I felt I did not want to be at the forefront of that. I just felt it went against my core values. I don’t like to kiss and tell. He [OpenAI CEO Sam Altman] came to me with this and I didn’t tell anybody except my husband … I also felt for my children it would be strange. I try to be mindful of them.”
The 39-year-old actress went on to warn of the dangers of deepfake technology, describing it as a “dark wormhole you can never climb your way out of”.
She added: “Once you try to take something down in one area, it pops up somewhere else. There are other countries that have different legislation and rules.
“If your ex-partner is putting out revenge, deepfake porn, your whole life can be completely ruined. I think technologies move faster than our fragile human egos can process it, and you see the effects all over, especially with young people. This technology is coming like a thousand-foot wave.”
Scarlett previously declared she was “shocked” and “angered” over the choice of voice for the chatbot, but OpenAI boss Sam Altman clarified Sky was an actor was used to create Sky and it wasn’t a deliberate attempt to mimic the movie star.
In a statement to The Verge, Altman said: “The voice of Sky is not Scarlett Johansson’s, and it was never intended to resemble hers.
“We cast the voice actor behind Sky’s voice before any outreach to Ms. Johansson. Out of respect for Ms. Johansson, we have paused using Sky’s voice in our products. We are sorry to Ms. Johansson that we didn’t communicate better.”

Wendy Williams’ family have been ‘largely denied contact’

OHMYGOSSIP — Wendy Williams’ family have been “largely denied contact” with her.
The talk show host has been placed under the guardianship of Sabrina Morrissey as she battles health conditions including primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia and her family claim that they have little contact with Wendy.
As she turned 60 this week, a source told PEOPLE: “Wendy Williams’s family is unable to speak on her current condition and location due to ongoing litigation and the fact that they have largely been denied contact. But they are all rooting and praying for Wendy and want to express their well wishes as she celebrates her 60th birthday. She was, is and always will be an icon.”
Williams was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia – a rare condition that affects the nervous system and inhibits the ability to communicate – and frontotemporal dementia – which affects personality, behaviour and language – last year.
In February, Williams’ sister Wanda Finnie claimed that she wasn’t made aware of her sibling’s diagnosis after she was placed in a facility to be treated for cognitive issues and that the family had received no updates on Wendy since she spent time with them in Florida in 2021.
She told PEOPLE: “When she was in Florida, there were a number of people involved. Even beyond family, there were doctors involved, people in Wendy’s professional world that were involved. She had a health team in place, nurses in place and she had family in place. She was getting healthier.
“How did she go from this aunt or sister that we love and is healthy one minute to this person who’s in and out of the hospital? How is that system better than the system the family could put in place? I don’t know. I do know that this system is broken. I hope that at some point, Wendy becomes strong enough where she can speak on her own behalf.”

David Duchovny lifts lid on X-Files feud rumours

OHMYGOSSIP — David Duchovny has dismissed rumours he quit the ‘The X-Files’ because of a feud with his co-star Gillian Anderson.
The pair shot to fame playing a pair of FBI Agents investigating the paranormal in the long-running TV show – which originally ran from 1993 until 2002 before being revived from 2016–2018 – but the actors were dogged by gossip about a frosty behind-the-scenes relationship.
Duchovny has now insisted he walked away from the show in 2002 to focus on raising his two children with wife Tea Leoni. He told The Times newspaper: “That [leaving] was just me wanting to have a family, but also to try other things.
“It had kind of taken up my life. There was no animosity with the actual show and the people that I worked with. I am proud of the show – it was culturally central in a way that it’s very hard to do these days in a fragmented landscape.
“There’s so many lightning-strike aspects to it that I can’t help but think of it as some kind of a miracle.”
Anderson previously admitted the pair did have a tense relationship at times, telling Stylist magazine: “There were definitely periods when we hated each other. Hate is too strong a word.
“We didn’t talk for long periods of time. It was intense, and we were both pains in the a*** for the other at various times.”
Duchovny also previously hinted at tensions between them but insisted it’s all in the past, telling Metro newspaper in 2008: “Familiarity breeds contempt.
“It’s nothing to do with the other person. All that fades away and you’re just left with the appreciation and love for the people you’ve worked with for so long.”

Kim Kardashian’s son diagnosed with vitiligo

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian’s son has vitiligo.
The 43-year-old reality TV star suffers from the skin condition psoriasis and revealed she has passed it on to her son in the form of another autoimmune condition vitiligo, which destroys pigmentation and creates white patches of skin.
Speaking on the ‘SHE MD’ podcast, Kim – who has sons Saint, eight, and Psalm, five, and daughters North, 11, and Chicago, six, with former husband Kanye West – said: “It came from my mom [and] went to me. And I passed it on in a different form to my son, who has vitiligo very mildly.
“I didn’t know anything about it. But having to learn about it and figuring out where it came from and that it’s hereditary and just learning more and being able to share that [has been a blessing]”.
Kim did not specify which of her sons has vitiligo but said it is “under control”.
She also shared that her children have “a little bit of eczema”.
Kim has spoken openly about her struggle with psoriasis – which sees an overactive immune system cause skin cells to multiply too quickly, leading to inflamed, red patches – and previously revealed she felt “a little bit desperate” when she had a major flare-up before the Met Gala in 2022.
Speaking to ‘SHE MD’ podcast hosts Mary Alice Haney and Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, she said: “It’s only this one spot [on my face] that will itch.
“And it will really, really itch when it does.
“When I started to get a little bit desperate was when it started to cover my face, and there was a spot really close to my eye, and it would just burn a little bit.
“I remember I had the Met Ball coming up that week and it was covering my face.”
Mary Alice asked: “Was that stress-related? I can imagine that something’s causing that. Because had that happened before on your face?”
Kim replied: “It hadn’t, no. I’m trying to think of what I was going through at that time. There’s a lot I could say.
“[But] I think I manage my stress pretty well, so it’s shocking to me.”
The ‘Kardashians’ star’s make-up artist managed to cover up the flare and no one noticed her skin struggles on the red carpet.
She said: “We did put on concealer. And I remember him vividly saying, ‘It’s so crazy that your makeup is holding really well on it.’ So he wasn’t concerned.
“Sometimes I get super insecure about it and I put body make-up on. And sometimes I’m just like, I really don’t care.
“For the Met Gala I was doing everything I could possibly do at that time.”

Ashlyn Harris’ devastating divorce

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashlyn Harris’ divorce from Ali Krieger is “really hard”.
The 38-year-old retired soccer star was married to US Women’s National Teammate Ali, 39, from 2019 to 2023 and although she is now in a relationship with actress Sophia Bush, 42, Ashlyn admitted the divorce has been difficult to process.
She told womenshealthmag.com: “I’m navigating a divorce that’s been really hard. I’m just riding the waves and seeing I can only control what’s in my controllables. I can’t control everyone else’s reaction. I can’t control everyone else’s opinions of me. I have to own myself and my body and be present and be human.”
And, Ashlyn is determined to protect her and Ali’s children – Sloane, three and Ocean, two – from the pain of the split.
She said: “My storm doesn’t have to be theirs. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through—dealing with a divorce with two very young children and not letting them see or feel my storm and rain. It’s a really big test.”
Ashlyn also revealed she tries to prepare herself to deal with anxiety, comparing it to how a firefighter prepares to deal with a blaze.
She said: “I say this often to Sophia—if I’m walking into a fire, I have to be equipped for that fire. I have to get my fire suit, I’ve got to get my tools, I gotta get my oxygen mask, I gotta get my water hose. I’m breaking down that door and I’m finding a way [out]. It might not be an easy window—it might be a back door, it might be climbing through a roof. But I’m equipped to handle the process.
“I’m human. I don’t always get it right. I’m not always perfect parent. I’m not always the perfect partner. But I know every day I’m adding to that toolkit, so that when life throws me a curveball, I’m ready for it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Janet Jackson “doesn’t like speaking”.
The 58-year-old pop superstar has admitted she would “rather stay quiet” so she can listen to other people and hates giving interviews where she is asked questions about herself because she’s not a fan of talking.

“I’ve never thought I give a good interview. I really don’t like speaking, so I’d rather stay quiet and listen to other people talk, and that’s always been me. Don’t ask me questions.”
She then joked: “Are we finished?”
Janet did continue with the interview and she went on to talk about her musical inspirations, saying: “I have to exclude family because obviously that spoke to me first, seeing my brothers, my sisters, my cousin Stevie [Wonder] – seeing him perform was a huge inspiration …
“My brothers would often take me with them when they would go to concerts, and I remember seeing Earth, Wind and Fire as a kid – just unforgettable.
“I’ll never forget that. Really blew me away, the musicianship, and then the body of work. I absolutely loved it.”
She went on to reveal seeing Prince perform also informed her decisions as a pop star, adding: “I remember seeing Prince when I was in my early, early, early, early 20s.
“He did some songs that I wasn’t that familiar with and didn’t do songs that I was familiar with, and I thought, ‘If I ever perform on this level, I don’t want to do that. I want to at least do songs that people are familiar with, for sure’.”

Alabama Barker is taking weight-loss medication

OHMYGOSSIP — Travis Barker’s daughter, Alabama, has claimed she is taking weight-loss medication after being trolled.
The 18-year-old vlogger has followed in the footsteps of her mom, Shanna Moakler, who previously admitted to using Mounjaro to shed the pounds after comfort eating following the death of her parents.
In a TikTok, Alabama, who didn’t disclose which medication she is using, said: “I’m on weight-loss medication because I’m tired of being fat and photographing like a damn ogre.
”I have, like, this thing where I photograph so ugly and people are like, ‘Oh my god, you’re so fat and you’re so ugly.’
“It’s like, I see what you guys are seeing, but just, like, meet me in person. I feel like I really don’t look like that.”
She previously took to TikTok to reveal that she gained weight due to an autoimmune disease and thyroid problem.
Alabama said: “Paparazzi will purposely take pictures of you with your mouth open, middle of a sentence and any ugly picture they can get of you just for views.
“I would love to see you guys getting random pictures of you taken of you when you’re leaving the grocery store, in the middle of a sentence, with your mouth wide open… and let’s see how beautiful you look.”
She then explained the contributing factors to her weight gain and asked fans to not discuss her body.
She added: “So, it would be very appreciated if you guys just keep your opinions to yourself. It’ll get you further in life.”
The aspiring musician noted how her weight “fluctuates”, and she hopes any young girls seeing her video don’t “think there’s something wrong” with weight gain.
She said: “There is a certain point where if your health is getting affected by it, that you need to change it, but no… That’s not the case for me and I would appreciate it if you guys put yourself in my shoes.”

Anthony Michael Hall cringes when he sees himself on screen

OHMYGOSSIP — Anthony Michael Hall cringes anytime he sees himself on screen.
‘The Breakfast Club’ actor launched his career in showbiz at the age of seven and went on to become a teen idol thanks to his collaborations with director John Hughes in the 1980s, but he cannot stand seeing himself when he was going through puberty.
He told PEOPLE magazine the last time he cringed was: “Whenever I pop up on TV. It’s just kind of weird, like looking at photos in your yearbook. I went through puberty literally on film in the early
’80s; that was painful enough.”
The 56-year-old star recently admitted it took him 20 years to “process” the first half of his life after shooting to fame as a child star.
He told the Guardian newspaper: “I joke with my family that it took me 20 years to process the first 20 years of my life. By my early 40s, it started to make some sense. It’s a weird thing when you start getting recognition, particularly at that age, when you’re already self-conscious … My life was surreal.”
Anthony confessed he started partying hard while living at a hotel in Los Angeles and needed to step away from the movie business for several years in his 20s. During his break, he started therapy and began to curb his drinking.
He added: “I had to get that in check because I was a little bit of a wild ass when I was a kid.”
Anthony also met up with his estranged biological father who he hadn’t seen since he was very young and he admitted that experience was “healing”.
He went on to add: “[I learned] the value of what had happened to me, and that came through hard work. I had to really earn it. There’s a certain point where the stuff you do as a kid doesn’t work any more, so I had awkward periods and I struggled through my 20s to keep going.”
Anthony previously compared his early fame to a horror movie, telling The Independent newspaper: “Fame was off-putting and kind of scary.
“It’s not unlike a horror movie. When celebrity hits you, all of a sudden people are staring at you and looking at you in odd ways. Even though I was just a pubescent teenager, suddenly I was thrown into this world of showbusiness.
“You don’t know what people are thinking, people are whispering about you, and it’s a strange thing to have to adjust to.”
He added: “Over time, you put it in perspective because, look, you should be more worried when people are forgetting you. “If they don’t remember you, that’s when you should be worried.”

Prince Harry’s Invictus Games chief quits

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry’s Invictus Games Foundation’s chief executive, Dominic Reid, has quit.
The 39-year-old British royal has thanked the departing boss for helping him to transform his “ambitious idea” into an “internationally recognised movement”.
In a statement, Harry said: “I am immensely grateful to my friend, Dominic, whose dedication and leadership transformed the Invictus Games from an ambitious idea to an internationally recognised movement.
“His tireless efforts over the past decade have supported thousands of wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans through sports rehabilitation, helping to showcase their unparalleled strength and contribution to society.
“Thank you, Dominic, for a decade of relentless service to the Invictus Games Foundation. What a journey it has been, and how fortunate we are to work with such an incredible community of people. We pray we don’t need the Games for another 10 years, but thanks to you, the team and our future CEO, we will be ready.”
Reid says it’s time for someone else to take over the reins of the international multi-sport event first held in 2014, for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veterans.
He added in his own statement: “I have delivered the 10-year vision I set out, which includes the introduction of winter sport which is close to my heart as a former biathlete. I remain the Pageantmaster of the Lord Mayor’s Show and look forward to the exciting new projects I am developing.”
The next games will be held in 2027 with Birmingham and Washington DC vying to host.

Drea de Matteo’s son edits her OnlyFans pictures

OHMYGOSSIP — Drea de Matteo’s son edits her OnlyFans photos.
The 52-year-old actress – who is best known for playing gangster’s moll Adriana La Cerva in HBO’s ‘The Sopranos’ – sells access to racy pictures through the subscription service and admitted her son 13-year-old son Waylon aka Blackjack is involved in the business.
Speaking on the ‘Not Today, Pal’, hosted by her former ‘Sopranos’ co-stars Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Robert Iler, she said: “Blackjack and Alabama. My kids are out there. I’m sorry guys. I’m really sorry. But they know.”
Iler said: “Before you start, your son was outside saying he edits your OnlyFans photos so you don’t have to apologise to them, I don’t think.”
Drea replied: “Oh yeah. He’s like, ‘So what do you want me to do with the bikini line here?’”
However, she added that makes sure Blackjack and daughter Alabama, 16 – who she shares with her musician ex Shooter Jennings – don’t see the more explicit shots, such as her same sex content.
She said: “They don’t see the girl shots. But I do go over that with them before I ever put them out. I was like, ‘Are you okay with this?’ Because it’s like, if I were to do it in a movie, because I would make out with girls in movies all day long before I’d even make out with boys.”
Last year, Drea said Alabama also edits her pictures.
She told Fox: “My kids were the ones that were like, ‘Do it.’ She’ll [Alabama] edit the pictures, too, because they want certain things that we haven’t been able to do.
“I used to have a lot of money. And then, all of a sudden, I went from being allowed to work to never being allowed to work again. I was never the kind of actor that took jobs just to stay in the business. I literally took jobs to feed my family.
“So, when people make nasty comments about why I would have done that, my response is, ‘Damn straight, I hope you’re never in the position I’m in. I take care of an entire family and a lot of other people who depend on me.’
“I know that my daughter read [an article] and read some of the hater comments. I sat down, and I go, ‘You know, mommy is not the things that they’re trying to say.’ She’s like, ‘We don’t even have to have this conversation.’ She schooled me.
“But my kids are old enough now to read, and everything I do, I do for them. Everything I’ve given up, I’ve given up for them. I mean, any sacrifice I made was for them. So, they’re going to go ahead and read this stuff and have a different image of me because of what people are saying because God knows how suggestive this society has become.”

Hannah Montana’s Emily Osment was ‘terrified’ working in COVID but had famous brother for support

OHMYGOSSIP — Emily Osment found it “terrifying” to work all the way through the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 32-year-old actress – who is younger the sister of ‘The Sixth Sense’ star Haley Joel Osment – worked with her brother on the ‘The Kominsky Method’ but admitted that she featured for her safety while filming the bulk of theNetflix series while various lockdowns were in place throughout the world.
She told Us Weekly: “I worked all through COVID, which was terrifying. It was scary to be in a position where you don’t really know if you’re safe or not. And you have no choice but to pick up your mask and work and to have Haley there with me for that. Knowing where he’d been — you know, he’s my brother — it was comforting to have him there.”
The ‘Young Sheldon’ star is keen for Haley Joel, 36, – who became the second-youngest performer ever to receive an Academy nomination for a supporting role for his role in the 1999 thriller opposite Bruce Willis before briefly being considered for the title role in the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise – to turn to start stepping behind the camera.
She said: “He needs to write and direct. And he’ll hire me! Put that in your paper too. And it’ll be great. Haley and I’ve done a lot of voiceover stuff together as well.”
Meanwhile, Emily – who shot to fame as a teenager when she starred opposite Miley Cyrus in the Disney Channel sitcom ‘Hannah Montana’ – got engaged to musician Jack Anthony in June 2023 after two years of dating.
At the time, she wrote on Instagram: “This magical, beautiful, kaleidoscope of a person asked me to marry him this weekend. I did not know life could be this sweet or I could ever be this deliriously happy. I am so proud of the life we have built together and the people we have become over the last few years. This love is so big and so uniquely ours and I know it can do anything. I am so honored to stand next to you every day. I love you, Jack.”

Meanwhile, Susan is now starring in ‘The Fabulous Four’ alongside Bette Midler, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Megan Mullally and is “hopeful” that the film’s older cast will still appeal to a younger audience.
She said: “There are women of all ages that have stories, right? And I think that hopefully it transcends. I mean, I go to movies that star younger people, so I hope that you know kids – one of my boys is here and I think he’ll find it fun. Just the silliness of older people.”

Anna Faris ‘wishes’ she had got to know Matthew Perry when she appeared on Friends

OHMYGOSSIP — Anna Faris “wishes” she had got the chance to know Matthew Perry better.
The 47-year-old actress worked with former ‘Friends’ star Matthew – who died in October 2023 at the age of 54 – guest starred in the final season of the classic NBC sitcom and while it was “an honour” for him to act opposite him, admitted that she regrets only ever having “brief interactions” with him on set.
She told People: “It was an honour, and he was just an incredible person. I wish I knew him better. It feels a little audacious for me to speak too much about somebody that I felt like I had brief interactions with, but they were wonderful and I am honoured to be a part of the show.”
The ‘My Spy The Eternal City’ actress explained it was her “understanding” that Matthew had suggested her for the role of Erica, a pregnant woman who gives birth to twins, whom Matthew’s character Chandler and his wife Monica (Courteney Cox) adopt after seeing her in ‘Lost in Translation’ but to this day still cannot believe her luck.
She added: “That was my understanding at the time. He told me that he’d seen me in ‘Lost in Translation’ and he thought I was good.
“I worked mostly with Courteney and Matthew, and they were unbelievable to me. They were so kind.
“I mean, it was such an intimidating idea. I mean, to give birth on ‘Friends’. ‘Friends?’ The final season?”
Anna explained that the rest of the cast – which was also made up of Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow – were “emotional” at the time she was shooting her scenes because they were coming to the end of a decade on air but didn’t want to get in the way too much.
She said: “They were also getting pretty emotional because they were wrapping things up. It was really sentimental.
“At the same time, I felt like, ‘Okay, I should probably go back to my dressing room during this group hug.
“They don’t rerun too much of the last season because I think I get a check for nine cents every, you know, four months!”

Kyle Richards reflects on two years of sobriety: ‘Two weeks used to seem impossible…’

OHMYGOSSIP — Kyle Richards used to think it would be “impossible” to go two weeks without alcohol.
The 55-year-old reality star decided to go sober exactly two years ago but as she celebrated her milestone admitted that she “struggled” with the idea of the whole lifestyle change until she started to reap the rewards.
She wrote on Instagram: “This week was my 2 year anniversary of being alcohol free (July 15th) I can remember a time when the idea of going 2 weeks seemed impossible. I’m proud of the fact that I’ve had the willpower to stay on this path. I know many people would love for me to start drinking again. Even friends with the best of intentions. Everyone loved “Party Kyle”. I think that was the hardest part of all of this. The resistance from others. The old me , the people pleaser, did struggle with that aspect of it. And I realized right away that I wasn’t going to have a ton of encouragement.
But I’ve dropped enough splits and whipped enough pony tails to know when it’s time to call it a day (ok, I may still drop a split here and there. Sorry) But my mental and physical health became a lot more important to me than feeling like I had to be “on” at a party or social setting.
“I’m not going to lie… the fact that I looked better because I l wasn’t drinking was also incentive to not veer from the road I am on. But the real reward is how I feel on the inside. I feel strong , energetic and grateful for my body. I want to take care of it like it has taken care of me.
It would have been a lot harder going through these difficult times if I had been drinking.”
The ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ star also feels honoured that fans who are also trying to quit the booze have cited her as an inspiration to them and these days she just prefers to wake up without the hangover or the worry about what she may have done the night before.
She said: “I want to wake up every day feeling my best. Mentally and physically strong enough to face whatever comes my way. Many strangers come up to me and tell me that I have inspired them to start their own alcohol free journey. That makes me happy and inspires me in return . So, thank you for that. I often think of the Ernest Hemingway quote
“ I drink to make other people more interesting”
Personally , I prefer to see people and situations just as they are. AND without the hangxiety.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Christina Sandera has died at the age of 61.
The former hostess was best known for her long-term relationship with Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood, 94, and had been together with him for almost a decade when she passed away on Thursday (18.07.24), but a cause of death has not been announced.
Clint told The Hollywood Reporter: “Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much.”
A spokesperson for the ‘Gran Torino’ star – who was initially married to Maggie Johnson from 1953 until 1984, then to Dina Ruiz from 1996 until 2014 but has eight known children by six women – confirmed to the outlet that no further comment will be given at this stage.
Clint and Christina are thought to have met when she was working at the Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California and started dating in 2014.
The pair did not give much away about their private life, but Christina did accompany Clint to many high-profile events like the 2015 Academy Awards.
Since finding fame as a Hollywood star, Clint has also carved out another career as a top director in the movie business and admitted in 2021 that he has no intention of slowing down even though he had by then entered his 90s.
He said: “Speaking to the Los Angeles Times newspaper about his reasons for continuing to work, he said: “I just like it.
“I have nothing against other directors, but I might have a whole different take on things and I don’t want to be thinking, ‘Why did I give it to him?’
“What the hell am I still working for in my 90s?
“Are people going to start throwing tomatoes at you?”
“I’ve gotten to the point where I wondered if that was enough, but not to the point where I decided it was.
“If you roll out a few turkeys, they’ll tell you soon enough.”
