Ariana Grande 'objectified' by male fan

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande was left feeling “sick and objectified” after an encounter with a male fan.
The 23-year-old singer took to Twitter on Wednesday (28.12.16) to share a lengthy post in which she spoke about a fan she had met whilst out with her boyfriend Mac Miller. In the note, the ‘Dangerous Woman’ hitmaker details how the fan told Mac he could see him “hitting that” in reference to Ariana, which she says left her feeling “hurt”.
The note reads: “went to pick up food with my boyfriend tonight and a young boy followed us to the car to tell Mac that he’s a big fan.
“He was loud and excited and by the time M was seated in the drivers seat he was literally almost in the car with us. I thought all of this was cute and exciting until he said ‘Ariana is sexy as hell man I see you, I see you hitting that!!!’
“*pause*
“Hitting that? The f**k??
“This may not seem like a big deal to some of you but I felt sick and objectified. I was also sitting right there when he said it. (?)
“I’ve felt really quiet and hurt since that moment. Things like happen all the time and are the kind of moments that contribute to women’s sense of fear and inadequacy. I am not a piece of meat that a man gets to utilize for his pleasure. I’m an adult human being in a relationship with a man who treats me with love and respect.
“It hurts my heart that so many young people are so comfortable using these phrases and objectifying women with such ease.
And the ‘Side to Side’ singer went on to state the she spoke out about this example in particular as she feels the need to “share and be vocal” so that acts such as this one don’t continue.
She wrote: “I felt like speaking out about this once experience tonight because I know very well that most women know the sensation of being spoken about in an uncomfortable way publicly or taken advantage of publicly by a man. We need to talk about these moments openly because they are harmful and they live on inside of us as shame. We need to share and be vocal when something makes us feel uncomfortable because if we don’t, it will just continue. We are not objects or prizes. We are QUEENS. (sic)”

Kristin Cavallari slams her haters

OHMYGOSSIP — Kristin Cavallari has slammed her social media haters.
The former ‘The Hills’ star has hit out at those who send her hate on Twitter or Instagram and says they are “coming from an insecure place”.
She told People magazine: “People always say stuff to me on Instagram and you just have to remember that people who are going to comment [stuff like that], they’re obviously coming from an insecure place.
“When you’re happy with your life and everything’s cool, you’re not going to go and try to put someone else down. So just remember, it’s not about you, it’s about them, and all you have to do is block them and delete the comments.”
And the 29-year-old television personality – who has Camden, four, Jaxon, two, and Saylor, 13 months, with her husband Jay Cutler – previously admitted she is “proud of the way” she has raised her children.
She shared: “I’m very comfortable with being a mom, and I’m proud of the way that we’ve raised our kids. I’ve done a few controversial things apparently, but I’m so confident in my decisions and my kids are happy and healthy, and that’s all I care about.
“I’m not proud of this, but my middle child, Jaxon, has been swearing. And I’m like, ‘Where does he get that? … Oh yeah, that’s me, I’m the culprit.’ He’s a little me. And he’s tough. He’s very tough, stubborn, like, he’s going to get his way. That’s also me.
“It’s corny, but I just want them to be happy. I’m sure every parent says that, but it’s true. I just want my kids to have a happy life and be comfortable in their own skin, and go out there and do whatever it is that they want.”

Hilaria Baldwin's anorexia struggle

OHMYGOSSIP — Hilaria Baldwin’s obsession with dancing caused her to suffer from anorexia and bulimia.
The 32-year-old star developed a passion for latin and ballroom dancing when she was a young girl but admits it had an affect on how she perceived her body.
She shared: “Without realising it, I started drifting away from the playful connection to movement I’d enjoyed as a young child and into a different and darker kind of dynamic: pushing my body to its limits and commanding it to perform through pain or fatigue. A long simmering struggle with anorexia and bulimia began to hold me firmly in its grip.
“By the time I was 20 years old, my 5-foot-3 frame was at least 20 lbs. under a healthy weight. My nails were brittle, my hair was falling out, my period was MIA, and my energy had tanked. I was miserable and desperate to feel better.”
And when Hilaria – who has Carmen Gabriela, three, Rafael Thomas, 18 months, and Leonardo Ángel Charles, three months, with her husband Alec Baldwin – discovered yoga, she thought it would make things better but she still found herself pushing her body to the limit as she tried to become a yoga instructor and follow her dream of opening her own studio.
Writing in her book ‘The Living Clearly Method’, she added: “I wish I could say that it was smooth sailing from this point on, but sometimes things have to get a whole lot worse before they get better. Even while I was helping so many others, I still didn’t listen to my body. Extraordinarily long days became my reality; skipping meals was par for the course.”

Eddie Murphy avoids reviews

OHMYGOSSIP — Eddie Murphy hasn’t read a review in 20 years.
The ‘Mr. Church’ star opts not to read any critiques of the movies he stars in despite insisting they don’t have any “effect on him at all”.
He said: “Oh, they [reviews] have no effect on me at all. I haven’t read a review in, easily, 20, 25 years. I used to. I remember when ‘Coming to America’ came out, Siskel and Ebert gave it two thumbs way down, saying it sucked.
“Then 10, 15 years later, I remember seeing them do a retrospective and they were both, ‘The classic ‘Coming to America’ blah blah blah.’ The shelf life of movies changes over the years.”
And the 55-year-old actor and comedian – who has nine children from five different relationships – is keen to return to his stand up comedy roots one day as he is “curious” about what sort of material he would perform.
He told the Los Angeles Times: “A few years back, I took a break from grinding out movies. I stepped back, took a breath and gave the audience a break, too. After 35 years in movies, I don’t care who you are, people get sick of looking at you. But I’m always writing – a script, a song.
“One day I’ll go full circle and do [stand up]. I’m curious to see what will come out of me. I’m so different. I stopped doing stand up when I was a kid. I was 28 years old. That’s another lifetime. Times have changed. I’m not edgy – at all. And I don’t want to be one of those middle-aged comics who go out and say, ‘We had this and you guys have that.'”
