Jennifer Esposito’s career nearly ended by ‘Harvey Weinstein-esque’ producer

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Esposito’s career was nearly cut short by a “Harvey Weinstein-esque person”.
The ‘Crash’ actress and filmmaker, 51, did not name the man, but branded him a “notorious” and “brutal” producer and accused him of spreading lies about her as part of a mission to derail her path to fame when she was only 26.
She told the ‘She Pivots’ podcast: “He fired me for no reason. He wanted someone else and he got her.”
Jennifer also told the show’s lawyer host Emily Tisch Sussman the producer discouraged others who wanted to hire her, and added about his lies: “He said I was a drug addict – (that) never happened.
“(He) had the power and used it to completely end a young girl’s career at 26 years old.”
Jennifer added she was dropped by her agency in the wake of the producer’s lies, and said staff there knew about the unfair treatment but told her they couldn’t help.
She went on: “I casually got moved to the desk of the assistant and then casually (shoved) out the door, and I couldn’t get work.
“I didn’t have an agent and a manager for two-and-a-half years.”
Jennifer has just finished writing, directing and starring in ‘Fresh Kills’, a crime drama that marks her feature-length filmmaking debut, and said without the hard time she endured at the hands of the producer early in her career she may not have achieved the feat.
Referring to her 26-year-old self, she added the project “really was” dedicated “to that kid”.
She added: “It was a hard time. But it was also a beautiful time. Because if I wasn’t that kid, I would have never been this woman.
“And I’m very proud of who I am and very proud of what I’ve done.
“I know for a fact that if that didn’t happen with that producer and my road had been easier, I would have never written and directed what I just did.
“I gave her her career back in the way that she could do it. Not the way someone else told me I could do it. I needed to right the wrong again.”

“She has been my road companion, my friend forever. She gave me all my chances and said yes when, young filmmaker, others said no.
“Because of her and only her, I’ve guarded the light. Her silhouette and grace will forever be etched on a Normandy beach.
“After making the whole earth dream, now she will make angels dream.”

Usher’s 2024 Super Bowl halftime show one of ‘hardest 15 minutes’ of his life

OHMYGOSSIP — Usher’s 2024 Super Bowl halftime show was one of the “hardest 15 minutes” of his life.
The ‘Burn’ singer, 45, was the headliner during the clash at the Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, in February, with his energy-packed gig featuring him belting out a medley of his biggest hits including ‘My Boo’, ‘OMG’ and ‘Yeah!’
He has now told the Wall Street Journal the show was “one of the hardest 15 minutes that I’ll ever have in my life” – and revealed he had to work out every day to execute the show the way he wanted.
Father-of-four Usher – born Usher Raymond IV – said: “I didn’t really have the time to do a lot of other things.
“I was remedying my body the night before and waking up the next day and eating a very regimented, low-carb diet.”
Usher also used the interview to reveal how he loves to eat eggs for breakfast – but not before he warms up his body with exposure to sunlight or by taking exercise.
He said he’s a fan of “sitting in the sun” in general as well as of raising his body’s “natural heat levels” first thing in the morning.
Usher added: “Typically I wake up and drink celery juice. I’ve been doing this concoction of lemon, ginger, water and cayenne pepper. I drink it hot.
“I try to wake up early enough to have a moment of reflection. Some days I may grab a book and read to stimulate my mind. I may sit quietly and meditate.
“One thing that is a frequent practice is yoga. It really does help to activate my organs and get my mind moving in the right direction.”
Usher added he occasionally likes to eat scrambled eggs with cheese for breakfast, but generally likes his eggs “poached or over easy”.
His exercises usually start with “walking or certain knee activations”, and he added: “I’ve had minor surgeries on my knee – I had a torn meniscus.
“Other than that, swimming is a really good thing to get me going and bike riding.
“Weight lifting… don’t do a lot of that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Georgia May Jagger is pregnant.
The 32-year-old model – who is the daughter of Sir Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall – has confirmed via social media that she’s expecting her first child with her boyfriend Cambryan Sedlick.
Alongside a series of pictures of her growing baby bump, she wrote on Instagram: “Patiently waiting for our new best friend @cambryans (sic)”
In one of the photos, the model has lifted up her blue vest and she’s cradling her growing bump.
Georgia and Cambryan have already been inundated with congratulatory messages from her friends and showbiz pals.
Georgia’s half-brother, Lucas, simply wrote: ‘Georgieeeeee [heart emoji] (sic)”
Poppy Delevingne has also offered her congratulations to the model.
The 38-year-old beauty – who is the elder sister of model and actress Cara Delevingne – wrote on Instagram: “Awwwww G may mama bear!!! LOVE these and love YOU so much. [heart emoji] (sic)”
Elsewhere, Meadow Walker, the daughter of actor Paul Walker, wrote: “Angel [heart emoji] (sic)”

The model has “always been terrified of public speaking” – but Jerry has urged her daughter to confront her fears.
Georgia – who now lives in the US with her boyfriend – told Harper’s BAZAAR last year: “I am trying to get better at doing the things that scare me – I have always been terrified of public speaking, I’ve had huge anxiety around it but I had this opportunity to give out an award at the BRITs this year and I thought, ‘I am just going to do it’.
“My mum always says ‘Make hay while the sun shines’ – I don’t want to feel regret about saying no to great opportunities just because I feel nervous. And there is nothing better than that feeling afterwards when you do something you are afraid of.”

Kevin Costner: I’ve had an amazing life

OHMYGOSSIP — Kevin Costner’s life was transformed when he “listened to [his] heart”.
The 69-year-old actor studied at California State University, Fullerton in the 1970s, but a change in attitude triggered a dramatic change in his fortunes.
Speaking to PEOPLE, the Hollywood star explained: “The confidence came when I listened to my heart, right at the very end of college where I thought, ‘I’m not going to be worried about what people think anymore’.
“There was no guarantee of success, but a huge weight came off my shoulders. I started going into Hollywood every day and I would park my little camper next to a phone booth and kind of sleep in a fetal position. I knew no one.”
Kevin has been though lots of ups and downs in his life. However, the veteran actor doesn’t have any regrets.
He shared: “The gamble is ignoring my heart and ignoring it whispering to me.
“What I can say is I’ve had an amazing life. I’ve been bruised, but I’ve had an amazing life and I’m grateful for that.”
Earlier this year, Kevin revealed that at one stage, he doubted he’d ever make it in Hollywood.
The movie star was working as a stage manager when his acting career took off.
He said on the ‘Armchair Expert’ podcast: “Once I got through the door, I kind of went pretty fast.
“It wasn’t Tom Cruise sliding across the floor at 18. It was for me at 27, 28. I was a stage manager at Raleigh, working for $3.25 and Richard Gere and Mel Gibson and Nicolas Cage and Timothy Hutton, Sean Penn. At a certain point, [I thought] maybe I wasn’t going to get the part.”

Eddie Murphy: I would rather not do any stunts

OHMYGOSSIP — Eddie Murphy “would rather not do any stunts” at the age of 63.
The Hollywood star has reprised the role of Axel Foley, a street-smart police lieutenant from Michigan, for ‘Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F’ – but Eddie has confessed that he isn’t as agile as he once was.
The actor – who starred in the original ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ movie back in 1984 – said on ‘Today’: “I did ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ when I was 21, and I’m 63 now.
“Now, I would rather not do any stunts. We were shooting something and the director said, ‘I want you to come out of this place and run down those steps.’ After we shot and he’s like, ‘Can you come down with more urgency? Faster?’ And I was like, ‘No!'”
Eddie joked that at this point in his career, he’s not as agile and as fearless as he used to be.
The movie star quipped: “I was like, ‘I’m not doing anything action. Don’t call me unless you offer me the same kind of s*** you would offer Morgan Freeman’.”
Eddie has enjoyed huge successes during his career. However, whenever he travels overseas, Eddie is still best-known for playing Axel in the ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ films.
The actor – who has also enjoyed massive success as a stand-up comedian – shared: “‘Beverly Hills Cop’ was my first movie that I’m the lead in. If I travel overseas they call me Axel Foley.
“Axel is an everyman. He’s not a superhero or a super-cop, he’s the everyman that rises to the occasion. I think that’s why people like it. And more than anything, he’s funny.”

Kylie Jenner ‘is hands-on with KHY’

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Jenner fits tests every item for her KHY brand.
The 26-year-old star launched her clothing line earlier this year, and Kylie has now revealed that she has a very hands-on role at the company.
The brunette beauty told PEOPLE: “A day at the office usually includes meetings with the design team, mood board creations, drop calendar planning, looking at sketches and fabrics, working on shoot creative and campaigns, and then fit testing pieces from upcoming drops.”
Kylie isn’t the only fit model at her company – but she always takes a keen interest in the products.
She shared: “I’m not the main fit model!
“But I do like to try on every prototype we create and make sure it has a great fit and feel. I only want to put out designs that I actually love and want to wear, so it’s really important for me to test out every piece firsthand and make sure it’s perfect.”
Kylie has already enjoyed huge success with her Kylie Cosmetics brand.
And the make-up mogul previously revealed that she’s motivated by her “haters”.
Kylie told Interview magazine: “I make notes if I’m getting inspiration. I’m online a lot. Also the haters fuel me.”
Kylie has maintained a very close relationship with her siblings, and she regards her family as an important part of her own success.
She said: “We can’t really take space because we work together. But at the end of the day, we are all obsessed with each other and would probably choose each other as friends if we weren’t family.”
What’s more, the reality TV star acknowledges that she has an “amazing platform” for her brand.
She shared: “I’ve had such an amazing platform and I choose to put in the work. I could have been handed the same gift and decided not to do anything with it, but I took advantage of this amazing opportunity.”

The 43-year-old singer is expecting her first child with rapper Nelly, and Ashanti admits that she can’t wait to become a mom.
The ‘Rain on Me’ hitmaker – who is engaged to Nelly – told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I was so shocked and happy and emotional. I always dreamed about it.
“I wanted it so, so bad and I just feel like the timing was perfect.”
Nelly, 49, announced their pregnancy news before it was even confirmed by a test result.
Ashanti has confessed to being shocked that he decided to share the news during a joint performance in St. Louis in December.
The singer explained: “When he blurted that out on stage, we actually did not know. I hadn’t even taken a test at that time.”
Meanwhile, Ashanti has admitted to being caught off guard by Nelly’s proposal.
The singer – who dated Nelly in the 2000s, before they rekindled their romance last year – revealed that she never actually saw it coming.
She shared: “It was just such a beautiful, intimate moment. We were not dressy.”
Ashanti was actually wearing one of Nelly’s T-shirts and a pair of boxer shorts when he proposed.
She said: “I felt like [the proposal] was going to come soon. I didn’t know when. The way that it happened was just so funny. I’m sitting in the bed watching TV with boxers on.”
Ashanti recalled feeling “shocked and surprised” in the immediate aftermath of the proposal.
The singer – who worked with Nelly early in her music career – said: “I gave him the biggest hug and kiss ever. I FaceTimed everyone I know … I was overjoyed and shocked and surprised and happy, kind of, like, all in one.”

Sir Ian McKellen: I’m looking forward to returning to work

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Ian McKellen is “looking forward to returning to work” after he was rushed to hospital on Monday (17.06.24).
The 85-year-old actor lost his footing and fell off stage while he was performing in ‘Player Kings’ at the Noel Coward Theatre in London – but McKellen has now taken to social media to reveal that he’s on the road to recovery.
He wrote on X: “I want to thank everyone for their kind messages and support. Since the accident, during a performance of Player Kings last night, my injuries have been diagnosed and treated by a series of experts, specialists and nurses working for the National Health Service. To them, of course, I am hugely indebted. They have assured me that my recovery will be complete and speedy and I am looking forward to returning to work.”
The veteran actor was taken to hospital after falling off stage, and the show was subsequently cancelled.
One audience member told the BBC that the incident was “very shocking”.
Sandro Trapani added: “I really hope that he is going to be alright. As far as I saw, he was conscious because he was asking for assistance.”
McKellen – who plays John Falstaff in the production – was in the midst of a fight scene when the incident occurred.
The acclaimed actor cried out in pain after he fell off stage and staff rushed to help him.
McKellen previously admitted that he was relishing the opportunity to star in the production.
He told the BBC earlier this year: “Actors who have taken on the role say it is verbally very challenging – it seems that the role was written for a particular actor and comedian in Shakespeare’s time, so it’s a bit like being given a script for Michael McIntyre.”

Normani feels like ‘a weight has been lifted’

OHMYGOSSIP — Normani is determined to “celebrate” herself after releasing her debut solo album.
The former Fifth Harmony star released her long-awaited debut solo album, ‘Dopamine’, earlier this month, and Normani feels like a “weight has been lifted” off her shoulders.
The 28-year-old singer – who shot to stardom as a teenager in the chart-topping girl group – told Vogue: “I think a weight has been lifted, for sure.
“It’s been such a long journey and process for me, and I know everything that I’ve endured and put into this, so I’m just doing my best to be present and grant myself some grace and celebrate myself.”
Normani has jokingly suggested that she was “born in the wrong generation” as an artist, as she’s so fond of music from the “late ’90s and early 2000s”.
The singer – who collaborated with Cardi B on the 2021 hit single ‘Wild Side’ – also feels that she evolved “as a woman” while making her new album.
Normani explained: “I feel like the first time I defined my own sound was with ‘Wild Side’. Still, to this day, that’s one of my favourite records that I feel wholeheartedly just represents me and represents stylistically the type of music that made me fall in love with music from a very early age – Aaliyah, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, the nostalgia of it all.
“I always joke that I feel like I was born in the wrong generation, because my favourite era is undeniably the late ’90s and early 2000s.
“I started this process a very long time ago, and I’ve learned a lot more about myself not only as an artist, but as a woman too.”

I’m always slightly overdressed, says Elle Fanning

OHMYGOSSIP — Elle Fanning is “always slightly overdressed for the occasion”.
The 26-year-old actress has always loved getting dressed up for glitzy occasions, like film premieres and award shows – but Elle acknowledges that she’s often overdressed.
The movie star told Harper’s Bazaar: “I am someone who’s probably always slightly overdressed for the occasion, but I don’t mind it.
“I mean, of course I have sweatpants days, and when I’m going to set, I’m like in those.
“You know Eterne? I love their matching sweat sets. Those are really good for sets and for travel.”
Elle also admitted that she’s always been a vintage-shop girl.
She shared: “I went through a phase when I was like seven, where I would wear old-fashioned bathing suits out as dresses.
“They would be big and kind of looked like rompers. I don’t know if that’s a phase that I’ll go through again, but when I was seven it was cute.”
Elle made her film debut as a child and she already has more than 60 acting credits to her name.
Despite this, Elle suggested in 2023 that she is “just coming into [her] own”.
She told Marie Claire magazine: “I’ve been working as a kid for so long, so it makes sense. But I do feel like I’m honestly just coming into my own now.”
Elle is appreciative of her early success. But the actress feels she’s evolved a lot during the course of her career.
She said: “I’ve been fortunate to play great characters, but when you’re a kid in movies, sometimes you’re just the kid in it. You’re being the observer, almost [like] the eyes of the audience … you watch the adults get to be bizarre and have all the fun.”

“She has a cult following of fans and has created this brand just for them.

Jade and her team believe the brand has enormous potential.
The insider explained: “As far as her team are concerned, the opportunities are limitless.
“Jade has really taken her time honing her music and can’t wait for her fans to hear it.

Jade – who starred in the girl group alongside Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards – told Attitude magazine: “I’d personally love to hear Perrie’s pipes on a big song, I’d love to hear doing whatever she loves best.
“That will probably happen in the future, but like we say, Little Mix is still going to be there.
“There’s a definite, sort of, safety and lovely warm fluffiness knowing that we always have each other to fall back on. That’s honestly such a lovely situation to be in, to know that we’re always going to be celebrating each other’s wins, whether that was to be in music or beauty or clothing, whatever it is that we’re passionate about.”

And the brunette beauty previously suggested that she’s proved people “wrong” with the success of her make-up business.
She told Interview magazine: “Proving people wrong was a challenge, but so was building it from the ground up.
“It was me and my mom and we never made a make-up line. We didn’t know where to start. We didn’t have anyone helping us. And my mom thought I was going to be stuck with lip kits in my garage for the rest of my life.
“I think we ordered 5,000 of each colour; that was the minimum. And she was like, ‘You better be ready, Kylie, because you might have a lot of lip kits in your garage for the rest of your life, so you better love these colours.'”
What’s more, Kylie insisted that success hasn’t come easily.
She shared: “Finding the best manufacturer was difficult. We were a new company, so growing in front of a lot of people was hard. You don’t have room to make mistakes.”

Taylor Swift bravely extinguished a fire at her New York apartment

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift bravely extinguished a fire in her New York apartment.
The 34-year-old pop superstar’s friend and ‘Eras Tour’ support act Gracie Abrams, 24, had no idea a candle had fallen over and started a fire inside the ‘All Too Well’ hitmaker’s pad, six months prior to her interview with Billboard, which was published on Tuesday (18.06.24).
Gracie told the outlet: “She was such a legend – I don’t know how at this hour or in our state she knew what to do.
“We both had an insane cough from the fire extinguisher fumes for weeks.”
The pals have recorded the collaboration ‘Us’ together, which is due for release on June 21.
As well as sharing her reaction to the songs on Taylor’s latest LP ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, Gracie revealed it was songwriter and producer Aaron Dessener tinkering away in the studio that inspired them to do a track together.
She said: “Something caught our ear at the same time very hard and fast.
“So we ran to the piano and started writing this song … I used to fantasise about that kind of a thing as a kid.”
A little while back, it was revealed that the ‘Love Story’ hitmaker keeps her awards “on the fireplace, on top of the toilet” and even “in a cage”.
The ‘Karma’ singer threw the doors to her townhouse open to some of her loyal supporters in recognition of their years standing by her and super-fan Tyler Conroy found her many accolades were dotted all over the property, rather than kept in one room.
He told the Daily Mail newspaper: “Taylor had the whole top floor. Everything was brown, it was in an old New York style with a red sofa and a nook.
“Her dad was sat there when I was there and told me they had watched ‘Frozen’ a few weeks before. It was so cute.
“I played with her pet cats, and it was then I noticed that there was a birdcage with a broken Grammy award in it. Taylor had broken it [after dropping it at the awards ceremony] and she wanted to look after it by putting it in the cage.
“[The awards] were all over the place, there were a couple on the fireplace. There was even one on the top of the toilet, I have never seen anything like that before. Most people have some potpourri or some flowers, but she had a Grammy award on her loo.”
One of Tyler’s favourite parts of Taylor’s apartment was her hidden bathroom.
He said: “To get to [it] there is a secret door behind a bookcase. It’s a kind of speak-easy.”
Inside the bathroom, Tyler found it kitted out with monochrome towels, each embroidered with the initials ‘TS’.
Taylor bought the $18 million seven-bedroom property from Sir Peter Jackson in 2014, and Sir Ian McKellen was staying there at the time.
Tyler said: “Her father told me when Taylor went to look at her apartment Ian McKellen was sat there at the dining table in his pyjamas.”
The ‘Blank Space’ hitmaker later expanded the property, buying three units in the building next door for under $10 million each, combining the two top floors to create one 8,300 square ft apartment space.
