Robert De Niro pens supportive letter to Meryl Streep

OHMYGOSSIP — Robert De Niro wrote a letter to Meryl Streep in support of her speech at the Golden Globes.
The 73-year-old actor has heaped praise on his fellow Hollywood icon after she blasted the US President-elect Donald Trump at the annual awards bash, saying she delivered her remarks “beautifully”.
In a letter obtained by PEOPLE, De Niro wrote: “What you said was great. It needed to be said, and you said it beautifully.
“I have so much respect for you that you did it while the world was celebrating your achievements. I share your sentiments about punks and bullies. Enough is enough.”
Although the actress did not name the soon-to-be US President by name, she made it clear she was upset and frustrated by Trump’s election win.
In her speech, Meryl said: “An actor’s only job is to enter the lives of people who are different from us and let you feel what that feels like. And there were many, many, many powerful performances this year that did exactly that – breathtaking, passionate work.
“But there was one performance this year that stunned me. It, it sank its hooks in my heart. Not because it was good. It was – there was nothing good about it. But it was effective, and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh and show their teeth.
“It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter, someone he outranked in privilege, power, and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it. And I still can’t get it out of my head because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life.”
De Niro is also an outspoken opponent of Trump and prior to the election, the actor said he would like to punch the billionaire businessman in the face.
He also described his fellow New Yorker as “blatantly stupid” and a “bulls**t artist”.

Paris Jackson blasts 'insulting' portrayal of her late father Michael

OHMYGOSSIP — Paris Jackson feels “incredibly offended” by Joseph Fiennes’ portrayal of her late father Michael in ‘Urban Myths’.
The 18-year-old actress has taken to Twitter to voice her anger at the decision to cast Fiennes, a white British man, as the chart-topping pop star in the upcoming TV movie.
In response to a trailer released earlier this week, she wrote: “I’m so incredibly offended by it, as I’m sure plenty of people are as well.”
‘Urban Myths’ is based on a fictional road trip Michael took with Elizabeth Taylor – who is played by Stockard Channing – and Marlon Brando after flights were grounded in the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
But Paris has accused the makers of the show of intentionally insulting her father and Elizabeth.
She wrote: “It angers me to see how obviously intentional it was for them to be this insulting, not just towards my father, but my godmother liz as well (sic)”
Paris said the show is “shameful” and that it serves to undermine Michael’s legacy as a pop culture icon.
She said: “Where is the respect? They worked through blood sweat and tears for ages to create such profound and remarkable legacies. Shameful portrayal.
“He made a point of it plenty of times to express his pride in his roots. He would never have wanted this.”
Paris’ disgust was echoed by her cousin Taj, the son of Michael’s brother Tito.
He also took to social media to bemoan a supposed lack of respect for Michael, who died in June 2009 at the age of 50.
Taj wrote on Twitter: “Unfortunately this is what my family has to deal with. No words could express the blatant disrespect.”
However, in an interview conducted last year, Joseph defended the decision to cast him in the role.
He said: “I deal in imagination, so I don’t think imagination should have rules stamped on them.”

Kendra Wilkinson gets into on board feud

OHMYGOSSIP — Kendra Wilkinson almost got into a fight with another passenger on board her flight to Los Angeles on Tuesday (10.01.17) after she downed a series of tequila shots.
The ‘Kendra on Top’ star struggled to hold her tongue after a woman – who she called a “f***ing bitch” – accused her of “being too loud” while knocking back the alcoholic beverages during their 45-minute journey but, rather than pull the blonde bombshell up on her wild behaviour at the time, she waited until they were exiting the aircraft.
Speaking to paparazzi, according to the MailOnline, as she walked out of the airport, she screeched: “So me and this girl in front of me were having some fun, taking shots of tequila. And this girl in back of me, she didn’t say anything the whole flight home, but oh she wants to say something on our way off the plane. [She said]: ‘You know you guys were a little loud.’ Say it to my f***ing face.”
The 31-year-old reality TV star is convinced the woman – whose identity and age is not known – only pulled her up on her boozing once they were making their way into the arrivals gate because she was “jealous as f**k” that she couldn’t party with them.
It’s not known where Kendra had returned from but it was probably somewhere hot as she recently admitted she suffers with seasonal affective disorder (SAD,) which is a specific type of depression that comes and goes according to the seasons of the year.
She said “I don’t know about u guys but I feel crazy around the holidays. Moody n s**t. Maybe im like this year round n don’t know tho. Lack of vitamin D they say … been gettin that extra D … maybe I should actually take the vitamin tho. (sic)”

Angelina Jolie 'doesn't feel she has Hollywood's support'

OHMYGOSSIP — Angelina Jolie thinks there is no support for her in Hollywood amid her ongoing divorce from Brad Pitt.
The Oscar-winning actress reportedly agreed to call a public truce in her bitter divorce battle with her estranged husband Brad after seeing the support he recently received at the Golden Globes.
A source shared: “There’s so much love for Brad in Hollywood and she feels like there’s none for her.
“They sorted out their statement within hours of his Golden Globes appearance. She realised the impact their separation has had on her image and is desperate to try to ensure no further damage is done.
“They will be keeping things to themselves from now on.”
The Hollywood duo – who share Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox – recently came to an agreement to handle their divorce out of the spotlight by using a private judge.
A joint statement from the couple’s legal teams read: “The parties and their counsel have signed agreements to preserve the privacy rights of their children and family by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge to make any necessary legal decisions and to facilitate the expeditious resolution of any remaining issues. The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification.”
Brad, meanwhile, is said to have felt like a “broken man” after he was not able to spend Christmas with his family.
A source said at the time: “He desperately misses having his kids with him for Christmas and New Year. He’s broken down in tears so many times – he’s not ashamed to cry anymore. Brad is like a broken man.”
The couple announced they were to split in September last year, but have since been arguing through their court documents and their legal teams.

Perrie Edwards is helping Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to become a DJ

OHMYGOSSIP — Perrie Edwards is helping her new boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain realise his ambition of becoming a DJ.
The 23-year-old pop star has reportedly offered to put Alex in touch with some of her music industry friends, as the soccer star tries to kick-start his dream.
A source said: “Ox has a big passion for music and DJing has become one of his favourite hobbies.
“He has decks and often picks tunes for the Arsenal dressing room.”
The Little Mix singer is said to be actively encouraging her new boyfriend, as the pair both share a passion for music.
The source told The Sun newspaper: “Perrie is encouraging it as their love of music is one of the main things they have in common.
“She has loads of friends in the industry who can help him out, including producers and other DJs, so she’s told him she’ll put him in touch.
“He’s not planning to be the next Calvin Harris, his priority is football, but he does love DJing and wants to see where it can go.”
Earlier this week, meanwhile, it was claimed that Perrie and Alex were both determined to keep their burgeoning romance low-key.
Alex, 23, wants to ensure that he remains best known for his skills on the soccer field, rather than as Perrie’s boyfriend.
An insider explained: “Perrie wants to keep her lovelife private and also doesn’t want to be regarded as a stereotypical football WAG.
“It’s early days and they’re still getting to know each other so it’s unlikely her stance will change.
“Alex fully supports her as he too wants to be known as a footballer, not dating a pop star.”
The couple have been dating since November and Alex is Perrie’s first serious love interest since her split from former One Direction star Zayn Malik in 2015.

The Weeknd 'holding back' from Selena Gomez

OHMYGOSSIP — The Weeknd is reportedly “holding back” from rumoured girlfriend Selena Gomez.
The 26-year-old singer – real name Abel Tesfaye – was pictured kissing the ‘Hands To Myself’ hitmaker outside a restaurant in Santa Monica on Wednesday (11.01.17), but despite the reports of a budding romance between the pair, Abel isn’t quite ready to give the brunette beauty his all.
Body language expert Dr. Lillian Glass said of the pictures: “His body language says he is holding back.
“When she’s kissing him, his expression says it’s too much. He’s also looking in a different direction.
“When couples are looking in different directions like this it signals that they are not like-minded.”
Meanwhile, sources say the 24-year-old pop megastar is “happy” with the ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ hitmaker – who recently called time on his romance with model Bella Hadid – has he “makes her feel secure”.
An insider told HollywoodLife.com: “She is happy and doesn’t mind sharing that with the world.
“Abel makes her feel secure and Selena has nothing to hide. Selena gets passionate about things real fast and that is exactly what she is doing with The Weeknd.
“She finds him charming and is enamoured by the person he is and the way he presents himself to her.”
The news comes after it was reported the couple “really don’t care” if their relationship goes public.
One source said: “At first, Selena and Abel wanted to keep their relationship a secret. But they’ve decided they really don’t care if everyone knows about them.”
It was also claimed the ‘Same Old Love’ singer was a dream come true for the ‘Starboy’ musician, as he’s “always had a thing” for her.
A source said: “Abel though always had a thing for Selena. He thinks she is extremely talented and sexy.
“They recently started talking before the holidays but she has been on his radar before. They are on the same level with expectations and think the other is really fun. They are taking things slow and getting to know each other.”

Kendall Jenner: 'People want me to lose'

OHMYGOSSIP — Kendall Jenner feels like “people want [her] to lose” after she was accused of having facial reconstruction surgery.
The 21-year-old model came under fire from the speculation in November after she was spotted during a livestream session with her sister Kylie Jenner sporting a plumper pout, and has now taken to her app to write a personal post detailing how “exhausting” she found the ordeal.
She wrote: “When I deleted my Instagram back in November, people were saying, ‘Kendall deleted her account to have full facial reconstruction!’ I think they might have been referencing the day Kylie and I did a livestream for our book (‘Time of the Twins: The Story of Lex and Livia’).
“We had to hurry, so I let Ky do my face. I never wear lip liner or lipstick unless it’s the occasional obvious red. I left all of the makeup on because we were so rushed and I went out and did my thing. I LOVED my makeup. I never say this, but I just felt so pretty.
“All of a sudden, photos of us came out with headlines like, ‘OMG Kendall got her lips done and got full facial reconstruction–look at her cheekbones, look at her nose!’
“Kylie saw it all unfold and felt bad, so she went on Snapchat and took the blame. (sic)”
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star might be used to the spotlight, but says the rumours still affect her because she still has “real feelings”.
She wrote on her app on Wednesday (11.01.17): “It’s all so exhausting.
“As a model, why would I have my face reconstructed? It doesn’t even make sense. It’s crazy because sometimes I feel like people just want me to lose.
“People forget that they’re talking about real people who have real feelings and actually live their everyday lives (for the most part) just like everyone else.”

Bella Hadid unfollows Selena Gomez on Instagram

OHMYGOSSIP — Bella Hadid has unfollowed Selena Gomez on Instagram.
The 20-year-old model reportedly stopped subscribing to the ‘Heart Wants What It Wants’ hitmaker’s photo feed after pictures emerged of her kissing Bella’s ex The Weeknd.
The loved up pictures of the pair outside Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica have been making the rounds on social media throughout the day.
Of the pair’s relationship, a source said: “At first, Selena and Abel wanted to keep their relationship a secret. But they’ve decided they really don’t care if everyone knows about them.”
Whilst another added: “Selena was focusing on getting herself back together and Abel was just getting out of a relationship, plus putting out his new album. Abel and Bella also were on and off towards the end of their relationship, so getting into something brand new was not what Abel was looking for.”
And The Weeknd – real name Abel Tesfaye – has reportedly had a crush on Selena for some time.
The source added: “Abel though always had a thing for Selena. He thinks she is extremely talented and sexy.
“They recently started talking before the holidays but she has been on his radar before. They are on the same level with expectations and think the other is really fun. They are taking things slow and getting to know each other.”
The news of Bella’s Instagram unfollow will come as a shock to fans as the model previously revealed she was on good terms with the ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ hitmaker despite their split.
She said recently: “There is no awkwardness. He is my best friend, and I am excited because I am walking during his performance.”
With a source adding: “Bella and The Weeknd have been talking again. The Weeknd sent Bella something special to her room to wish her luck on her big day … They are on great terms – not back together but still talking.”

Kim Kardashian West returns to work

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West is travelling to Dubai to make her first official appearance since the Paris robbery.
The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star shared a picture of herself and Scott Disick as the pair headed to the city in the United Arab Emirates just over three months after Kim was robbed at gunpoint in the French capital.
Captioning the photograph, she simply wrote: “on our way #dubai (sic)”
And the 36-year-old television personality could soon see her tough few months of unknowns come to an end after 16 people were arrested in connection with the robbery.
A source recently shared: “Kim is deeply relieved to know that this horrible ordeal will all come to an end soon.”
And Kim – who had an estimated $10 million worth of jewellery stolen in the terrifying incident – is hopeful she may get her engagement ring back as police believe two unidentified brothers – who they have arrested – could have the information to lead them to the expensive piece of jewellery.
An insider explained: “They are involved in the diamond trade, and are thought to have handled the stolen jewellery.
“Their homes have been searched from top to bottom, and so has a jewellery shop in Paris which is also linked to them. The jewellery has not yet been found, but these brothers could lead us to it over the coming days.”
It is thought the jewellery could have been sold in Antwerp, Belgium as the source claims that is where items like these “can be sold on with no questions asked”.
They added: “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.”

Kristin Chenoweth: I'm 'lucky' to be adopted

OHMYGOSSIP — Kristin Chenoweth feels “lucky” to be adopted.
The ‘Hairspray Live!’ star was adopted by her parents Jerry and Junie when she was just a few days old and believes it was “one of the best things” that ever happened to her.
She shared: “I can honestly say being adopted was one of the best things to ever happen to me. It was never something that was hidden from me and it is not something I have ever been ashamed of. I recognise how fortunate I am to have parents who love and support me unconditionally. The fact that they are not my biological parents does not change the fact that they are simply, my parents.
“Not everyone can say that, but I count myself lucky to have a birth mother who loved me enough to know she wasn’t ready to be a mom. I’m lucky that I have wonderful parents who chose me. I often say adoption is a full-circle blessing and I truly believe it. Adopted children were not abandoned, we were chosen.”
And the 48-year-old singer and actress was particularly touched by the movie ‘Lion’, which follows the true story of a young man who goes a journey to find his birth town after he was adopted by an Australian couple at a young age.
Speaking about the film, Kristin added in a lengthy essay for The Huffington Post newspaper: “As I’ve grown, I’ve watched the conversation and perceptions about adopted kids and families shift, but nothing has quite captured the truth, both the good and the ugly, of adoption like the film. It’s an honest look at adoption and the not uncommon feelings surrounding identity that come up for many people.
“Without getting on a soapbox, the film stands up to some commonly held misperceptions about adoption, the stigma many families deal with and supports the often life changing impact it can have. When it comes down to it, ‘Lion’ is a story of love and family, and the idea that we are shaped by both our environment and our DNA.”

Bella Thorne: It's hard to date as a celebrity

OHMYGOSSIP — Bella Thorne says dating as a celebrity is the “worst thing”.
The ‘Shake It Up’ star – who recently split from ‘Teen Wolf’ star Tyler Posey – thinks it is difficult dating other celebrities like her ex as they have a lot of girls who are “really in love with them”.
She said: “Dating in Hollywood is literally the worst thing. People are really crazy on social and, unfortunately, I date people that have girls, like, in love with them. They’re, like, really in love with them and they want to kill me. Literally, I was getting death threats, full-on death threats on Twitter.”
And the 19-year-old singer and actress hit back at those who send her nasty messages on social media, which she says really “hurt” when they’re in response to things that are not true.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, she added: “People think it doesn’t hurt but let me tell you, it does hurt!
“It doesn’t feel good to read this s**t about yourself online even when you know it’s not true. That’s always the worst part, when it’s not true. If it’s true, you’re kind of just like, ‘OK, you’re calling me out. This is true.'”
It comes after Bella admitted to receiving death threats after she split from Tyler and was romantically linked to Charlie Puth shortly after.
She said: “I went through a breakup and that was kind of tough. You know, fans, if you’re just seen with somebody, they think you’re immediately, you gotta be in a relationship with them, which is not true.
“I hang out all the time with different people that I’m not dating, that I’m just friends with. I hang out with a lot of guys because I’m a total tomboy, so a lot of my friends end up being guys because a lot of girls are like kind of too girly for me sometimes.”

Khloé Kardashian uses gym as a 'stress reliever'

OHMYGOSSIP — Khloé Kardashian used the gym as a “stress reliever” when she was going through her divorce from Lamar Odom.
The 32-year-old reality star – who filed for divorce from the retired basketball player in 2013, a process that was eventually completed last month – insists she never set out to lose weight, but was delighted that her transformation was able to inspire other people.
Speaking about her new reality show ‘Revenge Body’ – which sees the blonde beauty mentor men and women as they reinvent themselves both inside and out – Khloé said: “‘Revenge Body’ is inspired by my own personal journey, 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.”
And the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star – who is now in a relationship with basketball player Tristan Thompson – said she was “motivated” to keep working toward her weight loss goal after seeing “definition” in her muscles.
She said: “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.”
As she gets older, Khloe is working hard not to create more “drama” in her life, but sometimes relies on her famous family to advise her on what is or isn’t appropriate to voice on social media.
Speaking to Chi-Lan Lieu on UK TV show ‘Lorraine’, Khloé said: “We’ll be on group text all the time, I’ve learned from past experiences to ask them first like ‘should I tweet this?’, and they’ll give me their opinions and normally it’s ‘no’, so I think the older I’m getting I’m trying to eliminate some of the drama which is good, it’s petty drama that I don’t need.”

Molly Sims welcomes third child

OHMYGOSSIP — Molly Sims has given birth to her third child.
The 43-year-old model and her husband Scott Stuber welcomed a baby boy called Grey Douglas into the world on Tuesday (10.01.17).
Captioning a picture of herself with her newborn son, Molly wrote: “Welcome to the world Grey Douglas Stuber 1.10.17 …. Words do not express how grateful and happy we are to have another piece of magic! (sic)”
Meanwhile, Molly – who also has Brooks, four, and Scarlett, 21 months, with Scott – previously opened up about how her third pregnancy has been “really, really stressful”.
She explained: “Being 43 … we wanted to tell everyone, but we were super nervous about, you know, the testing … so it’s just been really, really stressful, but everything so far is on track …
“I’ve been crazy sick. I wake up in the morning, I feel like I wanna vomit. I have lunch and wanna vomit, and wanna vomit at dinner … and then when I go to bed, I still want to vomit. I have vomited at grocery stores, I have vomited in my house, I have gagged on my toothpaste.”
But Molly managed to settle her cravings by having a hot chocolate “every single night”.
She added: “With Brooks, I literally ate, like, seven apples a day. With Scarlett, I ate, like, seven oranges a day. And with this one … it’s crazy, but it’s chocolate.
“My girlfriends last night were here visiting me, and they were like, ‘Are you drinking hot chocolate?’ Oh, I was — with the little mini marshmallows that are really not good for you. I have one every single night.
“It’s much more tiring [this time around]. I don’t get anything done. I think I’m much more hormonal. I’m like the crazy bitch sometimes – I’ll be really nice one time, and really crazy the next. My husband loves me right now. He really loves me.”
