Amanda Abbington 'quizzed Martin Freeman about relationship with colleague'

OHMYGOSSIP — Amanda Abbington reportedly quizzed Martin Freeman over a friendship he shared with a showbiz researcher shortly before their split.
The 42-year-old actress is understood to have questioned her then-partner about his friendship with the woman and made it clear she was uncomfortable with the situation.
A source said: “Amanda was absolutely furious about it – she confronted him over his relationship with the woman, who works in the business too, and demanded answers.
“She was obviously uncomfortable with how close Martin and this researcher appeared to be – and made her feelings completely clear on the matter. It was very frosty.”
Despite this, their split was ultimately “very amicable” and the celebrity duo – who met on the set of the drama ‘Men Only’ in 2000 – remain good friends.
The source told The Sun newspaper: “In the end Amanda and Martin’s split has been very amicable – fortunately they’ve managed to move on from it and they’ve both stressed how much they intend to remain the best of friends.”
Earlier this month, Martin said that his separation from Amanda is the most “civilised” he’s ever heard of.
The 45-year-old actor insisted everything is “cool” between himself and Amanda, who starred alongside him in the BBC adaptation of ‘Sherlock’.
He shared: “I mean, we’re very friendly and it’s all lovely and cool.
“Yes, we’ve not been together for a while. I mean, we did the series not together. You know enough about me to know that I won’t talk about it, but I’m all right, yes. I mean, we’re honest to God doing it [separating] in about as civilised a manner as I’ve ever heard of, you know.”
Martin said he will always retain a love for Amanda – with whom he has two children, son Joe and daughter Grace – and he remains a fan of her acting talents.
He explained: “I love Amanda’s work. I think she’s brilliant as an actor and she’s brilliant as a woman and, yes, I love her. I will always love Amanda, but, yes, we’re … you know, that’s what’s happened. It’s just one of those things. It happens, doesn’t it? But we’re cool.”

Khloe Kardashian embarrassed by eye contact

OHMYGOSSIP — Khloe Kardashian used to be embarrassed to make eye contact with people because of her weight.
The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star made the confession as she chatted with participant Samantha McCord on her E! show ‘Revenge Body With Khloe Kardashian’.
She said: “Oh, I’ve been there. If I saw someone, I would still look down, even though obviously they could still see me. But just not having the eye contact, I felt safe by not looking them in the eye.”
And when Samantha admitted she started piling on the pounds after getting in a relationship, the 32-year-old television personality agreed.
She added: “Whenever people get into new relationships, I think that it’s natural to get consumed in them. You kind of lose track of your own personal life and your wants.”
Meanwhile, Khloe previously admitted she used the gym as a “stress reliever” during her divorce from Lamar Odom.
She said: “I was going through a difficult time going through my divorce and I started going to the gym as a place to clear my head and as a stress reliever, it was really the only place that I knew where to turn where no one would ask me a lot of questions. As a by product I started losing all this weight, there were so many people via social media saying how I’d inspired them, from taking something negative and turning it into a positive.
“I didn’t seek out to lose 20 pounds in 20 days, that wasn’t my goal. I was always, like I wasn’t big boned, I just kind of [would say] I’m not meant to be a certain size, but once I started losing weight naturally I was like ‘OK I’m going to get a trainer’, then six months later I got a nutritionist so once I started taking my health more seriously I started seeing definition in my arms, muscles and that motivates you more to keep working out.”

Jennifer Lopez in the studio with Drake

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Lopez has confirmed she is working on new music with Drake.
The ‘On The Floor’ singer stayed tight-lipped on her romance with the ‘Hotline Bling’ hitmaker but did confess the pair have been in the studio together.
Asked about her new project with Drake at a ‘Shades of Blue’ TCA panel, she simply said: “He just asked me to do a song with him and that’s what we’ve been doing. We’ll see if it’s on his next album.”
It comes after a source claimed the 47-year-old singer wants to keep her relationship with Drake “easy, light and fun”.
They said: “She has not been gushing about her new romance to friends or family, and instead has been trying to play it all cool. She wants to keep things between them easy, light and fun.
“She knows Drake is a bit of a player, so to help her avoid getting whipped on him, she is trying to take things slow and not put any pressure on him. The last thing Jennifer wants is for Drake to do something to make her look foolish or feel like she has been played.”
And Rihanna is said to be “very unhappy” with Drake’s new relationship.
An insider previously added: “Jen and Drake have tried to keep their romance under wraps by suggesting they are just working together, but the truth is they are an item. They have been seeing each other for a number of weeks and her friends are saying she is already smitten. The age gap doesn’t bother them. They have fun together and that’s all that matters.
“People in Rihanna’s circle are saying she is very unhappy about the whole thing. Only a few months ago she and Drake were still together. Jen is one of her friends in the industry which made her all the more surprised.”

Demi Lovato has the acting bug

OHMYGOSSIP — Demi Lovato has “too many tattoos” to go back into acting.
The ‘Cool For The Summer’ hitmaker “got bit by the acting bug” working on ‘Smurfs: The Lost Village’ but thinks it would be more difficult for her to return to acting now she has so many permanent inkings.
She said: “I did get bit by the acting bug a little bit [working on this movie], but I think I started thinking about it the other day, about wanting to go back into acting.
“I think I have too many tattoos now. You’d have to cover all my tattoos up and it would take forever.”
And the 24-year-old singer enjoyed being able to stay behind the camera and just provide her voice for the animated movie so she didn’t have to worry about hair and make up.
She added: “I was able to act and not be in front of a camera, which was really nice. I didn’t have to go through hair and make up, and I didn’t have to worry about my camera angles and what not.
“So, it was nice to be as animated as I wanted to be, play with my voice and to just have fun with it. It’s very exciting for me to play such an iconic character, and to be a part of such a classic and timeless franchise.”
However, for the moment, Demi is busy working on her music.
She told Entertainment Tonight: “I’m in the studio right now. It’s going really great. I’m just trying to figure out what sound I want to have for the next album.”
It comes after Demi claimed she was going to be “taking a break” from music in 2017.
She wrote on Twitter: “So excited for 2017. Taking a break from music and the spotlight.. I am not meant for this business and the media … It doesn’t feel worth it anymore. I’d rather do charity work tbh [to be honest] (sic)”

Russell Brand: Fatherhood is the 'most wonderful thing'

OHMYGOSSIP — Russell Brand says being a father is the “most wonderful thing”.
The 41-year-old comedian and his fiancée Laura Gallacher welcomed daughter Mabel into the world in November and he absolutely loves fatherhood.
He said: “It’s the most wonderful thing. To have something outside of yourself thats more important than you. Other than West Ham United.”
Asked if having a child changed his perception on the world, he added to ITN: “Do you know, in some ways I do. That’s a good observation. It’s a wonderful experience being a dad!”
When the little tot was born, Russell had to rush off after his show at the Nottingham Playhouse so he could be with Laura and their baby.
Fan Daniel Crann said at the time: “He didn’t confirm if it was a girl or a boy. He was conscious of the clock and made sure he was off stage by just approaching 9pm as he ‘needed to get down the f***ing M21 as my girlfriend has just had a baby.'”
And Russell previously revealed he was incredibly excited to become a father.
He shared: “I feel lit up by the idea. I’m very excited about becoming a dad and I’m preparing myself. I am just getting ready to be with a new little person and see what it is they want. [Laura is] decorating the nursery. Around domestic issues, my vote is often secondary … Or the vote of my gender at least, so I will just wait to see what is determined.”
Russell also confessed to reading parenting books every week.
He shared: “I read a different book every week and I read one on preparation for fatherhood to mentally prepare me for it. I don’t know that it has prepared me for it.
“I’ve painted the room, I’ve done the things that you’re supposed to do, I’ve accepted the idea that that person will be more important than me, ‘Jesus Three’ I’m thinking of calling him or her, we don’t know the gender. I may not even ever impose a gender upon it, let the child grow up and be the whatever the hell it is, never tell it there is such a concept.”

Bella Hadid warns The Weeknd about Selena Gomez

OHMYGOSSIP — Bella Hadid thinks Selena Gomez is just using The Weeknd.
The 20-year-old model has reportedly warned her ex-boyfriend – real name Abel Tesfaye – about the 24-year-old singer’s real intentions but he isn’t listening.
A source said: “Bella has reached out to Abel a few times and told him Selena is using him. He thinks she’s just jealous and isn’t listening to her.”
Selena and Abel’s relationship is said to have come about after the pair started “working on very sexy music” together.
An insider told Us Weekly magazine: “They started hanging as friends and it became romantic. They’re working on very sexy music, so it spilled over.”
It comes after a source claimed Bella is “hurt” that The Weeknd moved on with the ‘Come and Get It’ hitmaker.
They said: “Bella and Abel’s split wasn’t dramatic, but of course she’s hurt and p****d that he’s moved on so quickly with Selena.”
But Selena isn’t worried about hurting Bella as they’ve never been that close.
An insider said previously: “Selena was always the girl who stayed away from a lot of the Taylor Swift crew, except for Taylor. She preferred to be one-on-one with Taylor and didn’t like being a part of the whole squad thing.”
And another added: “Selena is not good friends with either Gigi or Bella. She knows them through other people, but they are just acquaintances. She is friendly with them, but not friends with them … Selena and Gigi were never fond of each other, so Selena definitely doesn’t have any stipulations about hooking up with or dating Bella’s ex.”
Selena and Abel were spotted kissing last week outside an Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.

Kim Kardashian West's ring has been 'recut and sold off'

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West is unlikely to get her jewellery back.
The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star had her £3.5million diamond engagement ring taken when she was robbed at gunpoint last October and it is thought the piece of jewellery would have now been “recut and sold off”.
A source told France’s BFM TV that Kim “is unlikely to get the jewellery back”.
Whilst Jerome Guillochon, president of a French jewellers federation, added: “They separate the stone from the metal. On one hand, they will melt the metal, and on the other, they will usually cut the stones completely, in order to remove all markings or modify the shape. Because if there is a typical shape in exceptional jewellery, if there is a ring in the shape of a cushion, they can perhaps cut it in circles.”
Without alteration, the 36-year-old television personality’s ring – which was a gift from her husband Kanye West – would have been easily recognised as it had the word ‘Adidas’ carved into it.
And Guillochon believes the ring would have been altered using lasers before it was sold on the black market in Antwerp, Belgium.
Two of those arrested – Aomar Ait Khedache and Didier Dubreucq – were reportedly living in the city since October and detectives believe they moved there so they could get rid of the jewellery as soon as possible.
A source previously revealed: “Antwerp is a town where jewellery can be sold on with no questions asked. The men know the industry inside out, and may well know exactly where the ring went.”
And Kim was said to be “deeply relieved” after a number of people were arrested in connection with the robbery.
A source said: “Kim is deeply relieved to know that this horrible ordeal will all come to an end soon.”

Kesha 'devastated' by Dr. Luke lawsuit

OHMYGOSSIP — Kesha was “devastated” by her Dr. Luke lawsuit.
The ‘Tik Tok’ hitmaker was involved in a very public feud with the music producer over her contract after she accused Dr. Luke of sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abusing her for a number of years.
She said: “When you work really hard at something, then to have it taken away from you is pretty devastating. I worked my ass off for a lot of years to be able to do it.
“I sang backup vocals and the first couple songs I was on, I didn’t give a f**k because I just had this one vision. Once you earn that and make that happen, then to have it taken away from you is pretty devastating. It is definitely like a mind-f**k.”
However, the 29-year-old singer is looking forward to the future and wants to return to her Nashville roots with her new music.
She told Noisey: “I’ve always loved country music and listened to it a lot growing up, so now I’m like kind of allowing myself to just tap into like my music roots a little more recently.
“Here, it really is the utmost importance to tell the story, and that’s really what songwriting is about – the song is the most important thing.”
Meanwhile, Kesha previously opened up about her battle with anxiety and depression and how she intends to “showcase her vulnerabilities” on her new album.
She said: “I’ve battled a lot of things, including anxiety and depression. Finding the strength to come forward about those things is not easy. But maybe, by telling my story, I can help someone else going through tough times … I’ve grown into an adult woman who realises the power of my voice …
“[My new songs] will showcase my vulnerabilities as a strength and not as a weakness. In the past, I always felt like I was trying to prove something. Now, I’m writing what I want to share with the world, rather than trying to give the world what it wants. For better or worse, I’m just me.”

Celine Dion returns to Las Vegas

OHMYGOSSIP — Celine Dion returned to Las Vegas for her first show of 2017 on Tuesday evening (17.01.17).
The ‘My Heart Will Go’ hitmaker wowed the crowds at The Colosseum in Caesars Palace as she performed her first show of the New Year.
The 48-year-old singer – who tragically lost her husband last January – also showed off a brand new show costume – a beautiful beige evening gown which shone under the Las Vegas lights.
It comes after Celine paid tribute to her husband René Angélil – who died after a battle with throat cancer – with a sweet video on Facebook.
Captioning the video, she wrote: “It’s been a year since René left us. He will always be in our hearts.”
And Celine admitted that René’s battle with cancer was tough for the entire family including their son René-Charles, 15, and six-year-old twin boys Eddy and Nelson.
She said: “Before he left, it was very, very difficult for all of us. For me especially, and my children, to see the man of my life die a little bit more every day. And when he left, it was kind of a relief for me that the man that I love, the only man that I kissed, the only man that I loved – yeah, I never kissed another man in my life. So, the man of my life was my partner, and we were one. So, when he stopped suffering, I said to myself, ‘He’s OK. And he deserves not to suffer.'”
And speaking before Christmas, Celine admitted she wasn’t ready for the anniversary of his passing.
She explained: “I can’t believe it’s going to be a year that my husband passed. I don’t know when Santa Claus is coming, but if I had a wish to make this year, can you just tell him to take his time? I’m not ready!
“It’s kind of a bittersweet moment and at the same time we need to really make the holidays really happy. I feel thankful that he doesn’t suffer and he doesn’t have to worry because we got him. He got us and the spirit of the holidays will get us together again … We’re going to ski again all together and he will be there with us.”

The Olympic swimmer has confirmed himself and his fiancée Kayla Rae Reid are expecting a baby boy, just like he wanted.
He said: “We’re having a boy. I was [hoping for a boy] because I always wanted more than one kid and I definitely wanted a boy first so if we have a girl, the boy will be the big brother and take care of his sister so it’s working out perfectly.”
And the 32-year-old sportsman is keen for his son to follow in his footsteps and take an interest in sport but doesn’t mind which one he picks.
He added: “He’s going to know how to swim but I’m not going to push him into anything. But I know one thing I learned in life is anything I do, I want to put 110 percent in it, so I’m going to teach him that in anything he does, he’ll have to put in 110 percent, not half-a** it. He can pick any kind of sport he wants. I really want him to play a sport and be active. I think that’s a really important thing in children, is to be active …
“I’m definitely going to be a loving dad. I’m going to spoil my child with so much love and that’s where the baby’s going to get spoiled. I know what to do and what not to do from talking to other parents and my own parents so I’m excited to change diapers, to dress up my kid in the same outfits as me and this is going to be so much fun. It’s going to be awesome.”
And the couple are busy preparing for the baby’s arrival at the moment but are hoping to set a date for their wedding soon.
He told CBS News: “They always say like the wedding’s for the woman but you know, for me, I want to be a part of it. I want to help pick out the cake, pick out the flowers, settings, everything, so I want to be a big part of it.
“Our biggest focus is bringing this child into this world. We’re going to keep our focus on that and afterward we’ll set a date and time on getting married, but I think we’re looking at October.”

Louis Tomlinson's send off to his mother

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Tomlinson’s first performance of his debut single felt like a “little send off” to his mother.
The former One Direction star tragically lost his mom Johannah Deakin just days before he took to the stage at ‘The X Factor’ final in December and admits he was close to “throwing the towel in”.
Speaking on Sirius XM about his mother’s passing, he said: “It’s not something that I feel 100 per cent comfortable talking too much about but just quickly, when I first found out the news I kind of did want to throw the towel in.
“But it was my mum who said to me that I’ve just got to keep going, telling me very sternly that she wanted me to. So I’m not doing it for her but … It was tough but I felt like it was nice for me to almost have a little send off for her.”
During the live show, Louis was joined by DJ Steve Aoki to perform their track ‘Just Hold On’, the 25-year-old singer’s first solo offering since One Direction split.
After the performance, ‘X Factor’ judge and music mogul Simon Cowell told Louis: “I have to say something to you. I’ve known you for six years, what you’ve just done – the bravery. I respect you as an artist and I respect you as a person. Your mum was so proud of you Louis and she was so looking forward to this performance. She’s watching over you now and you’ve done her so proud.”
And Louis’ former bandmates – Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Harry Styles – were also backstage at the show to lend their support.
A source said at the time: “Harry, Niall and Liam all came down to ‘X Factor’ to support Louis. They all were backstage with him supporting him. It was a lovely moment – and shows the unity of One Direction.
“First time all back together in a year. It was a lovely touching moment backstage and they all came to support Louis during a horrible time. Niall even flew back from New York.”

Matt LeBlanc not cool enough for daughter

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt LeBlanc’s daughter refuses to watch ‘Friends’ because he was in it.
The 49-year-old actor shot to fame playing Joey Tribbiani in the sitcom, and though 12-year-old Marina’s friends have been watching reruns of the series, she has no interest in tuning in because she doesn’t want to “overdose” on seeing her dad.
Asked by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres if Marina thinks he is cool, Matt said: “I don’t think she thinks I’m too cool.
“I think her friends at school are watching ‘Friends’ now, that’s about the age they get into it, but she, she can’t be bothered. She just couldn’t care less.
She’s seen it, but it’s her dad.
“She sees me enough…she’s like, ‘Overdose on my dad, I don’t want that.'”
But Matt was able to impress his daughter – who he has with ex-wife Melissa McKnight, who is also mother to Tyler, 25, and 21-year-old Jacqueline – when she and her half-sister visited him in London.
The ‘Top Gear’ host took the pair to see Bruce Springsteen perform and they then met both the ‘Born in the USA’ singer and Prince Harry backstage, much to their delight.
He said: “So Prince Harry, at the end of the night, gives my stepdaughter and daughter a kiss on the cheek and they were both just floored.
“I got no kiss myself. Let me just put that out there – So it was something else that to impress her. I was like, ‘Great big shoes to fill there’.”
The ‘Episodes’ star previously spoke of how much he enjoys hanging out with his daughter and cherishes the time because he knows she won’t always want to be with him.
He said: “I love it when I’m with my daughter. We make bacon and eggs and sit and talk over how she slept, what she dreamed about, what we should do that day.
“I’m clinging on to those moments because I’m not Rihanna so she won’t want to hang out for much longer.
“Is she a Rihanna fan? Oh my God, I know every word to every song. Please don’t stop the music…”

“It’s a burgundy — a red burgundy, like the one in ‘Fast 6’.”
Vin recently revealed he is a “perfectionist” in his work and one of teh most important things about his movies is the “‘Oh s**t’ factor”
Speaking about reprising his role of Xander Cage in ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage’, he said: “You know I’m a perfectionist. I have to make it incredible.
“Xander Cage is born from that. He’s the guy from that side of the tracks, an athlete – because he broke his neck and arm doing some crazy thing the Olympics never acknowledged in his backyard. The accessibility is one thing that made the character so popular
“The extra thing I like to put in is the ‘Oh s**t!’ moment.”
And the Californian star – whose real name is Mark Sinclair – believes there should be an added category in the Oscar nominations where movies are awarded for the “epic moment”.
He explained: “There should be an Oscar category for that, it’s like in gaming, that epic moment when you’re about to kill the monster … you’re watching the screen and you go ‘aaahh!’ that moment that gets everybody at the edge of their seat.”

Katie and her husband Kieran Hayler live on a farm which they share with over 200 animals including five dogs, horses, chickens, pigs and a near-hairless guinea pig.

I love them because they’re not like normal cats.
“They do look odd but they’re very affectionate, they’re good with the kids and they’re very intelligent. They’re bald. It has got clothes because they get cold.”

Louis Tomlinson believes fatherhood has made him 'more mature'

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Tomlinson believes fatherhood has made him “more mature”.
The 25-year-old singer – who has 11-month-old son Freddie with his former partner Briana Jungwirth – doesn’t think having a child has influenced him but it has changed him as a person.
Speaking about his life now he is a parent, the One Direction band member said: “I don’t think it’s changed my writing very much. Writing in particular, it’s not as if I’m writing songs about my son. I love him obviously. It’s affected how I am as a person, a little bit. I’d like to say it’s made me a bit more mature, I don’t know if that’s true.”
And the dark-haired hunk has admitted every moment he spends with his child is “precious” and totally absorbs him to the point he doesn’t want to do “anything other” than be by his side and out of view from prying eyes.
He said: “With fans I’ll always be super polite. But my time with my son is precious. So I am kind of reluctant to do anything other than spend all of my time with my son when I’m with Freddie. So, that’s just the way it is. Sometimes it’s irritating with paparazzi, but that’s the job that I’m ion. Sometimes I’ll get a few stern words that you may hear on TMZ one day.”
Although Louis – who is in a relationship with Danielle Campbell – is besotted with Freddie he has admitted he “definitely” wants to expand his brood, although his career is currently his main focus.
Speaking on SiriusXM Hits 1 Radio about his future family plans, he said: “Bloody hell. I’ve not thought about that. Definitely in the future, yeah. At the moment I’ve got Freddie and I’m trying to stay career driven.”

John Legend, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban to perform at Grammys

OHMYGOSSIP — John Legend, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban will perform at the Grammy Awards.
The two country stars – who are both up for Best Country Solo Performance alongside Brandy Clark, Miranda Lambert, and Maren Morris – will take to the stage together at Los Angeles’ Staples Centre on February 12, while the ‘All of Me’ hitmaker is also going to sing at the annual event, which honours the best in music.
The announcement of the performers comes shortly after Metallica -who have been nominated for Best Rock Song for ‘Hardwired’ – revealed they will give a “unique and special” performance at the ceremony.
In a statement, the group comprised of Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo, said: “First, It was a total honour to be nominated, but now this!?
“We’re beyond excited to have been invited to perform on the 59th annual Grammy Awards telecast on Sunday, February 12, 2017.
“It has been three years since we were lucky enough to participate in the awards show when we last performed with world-renowned Chinese concert pianist Lang Lang and we’re thrilled to be asked back.
“We have something very unique and special planned for this celebratory night, so tune in to watch CBS-TV …
“Check those local listings for your time zone and keep watching here for more information.”
The heavy metal group previously won Best Metal Performance in 1992 and guitarist Kirk , 54, admits it’s odd that they are not shortlisted in the metal category and that they take these kinds of awards “in their stride”.
He previously said of their nomination: “Y’know, we’ve had such a crazy relationship with the Grammys, so when the Grammys do something like this we kind of throw our arms in the air – ‘Whatever, whatever!’
“But, it’s still an honour. It’s still great to be recognised by the academy, and it’s still fun to play the Grammys when we’re asked.
“I think it’s cool. I think it’s funny we’re in a different category, but we take it in our stride.”
Adele and Beyonce have also been tipped to perform on the night along with Ed Sheeran and Kanye West.
James Corden will host this year’s ceremony
