George Michael's £100m fortune to go to Godchildren

OHMYGOSSIP — George Michael’s estimated £100 million fortune is expected to go to his Godchildren.
The Wham! singer was the Godfather to Roman and Harley Kemp – the children of his band’s vocalist Shirlie Holliman and her husband Spandau Ballet bassist Martin Kemp – and has reportedly asked for his estate to be divided up between them following his shock death from heart failure at the age of just 53 on Christmas Day (25.12.16).
The ‘Careless Whisper’ hitmaker is also expected to leave a wad of cash to Geri Horner’s 10-year-old daughter Bluebell, who is the Goddaughter of his ex-boyfriend Kenny Goss, and will make sure his older sisters Melanie and Yioda, his boyfriend Fadi Fawaz and his cousin Andros’ two children, to whom he is also a Godfather, are left in a financially stable condition.
It’s also thought Childline, the Terrence Higgins Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support – the charities he supported – will also be left some money, according to the Daily Mirror newspaper.
George’s estimated fortune is made up of royalties, money earnt from performing at private parties and events in the decade before his death and his four homes around the world.
The talented singer had a quaint cottage in Oxfordshire – where he was found dead in his bed – a mansion in Highgate, London, and properties in New York and Sydney, Australia.
George will continue to make money after his death as it’s thought the album he was planning to release in March ‘Listen Without Prejudice 25’ will still drop next year.
He was also working on a documentary called ‘Freedom’ about his time in Wham! and that too was expected to air around the same time his album would have been released.
Details on his funeral are yet to be announced.

Sinitta bought karaoke machine for Eric

OHMYGOSSIP — Sinitta bought Simon Cowell’s son a karaoke machine for Christmas.
The ‘So Macho’ singer is close friends with her former boyfriend – who has two-year-old Eric with girlfriend Lauren Silverman – and treated him and his family to generous gifts over the festive season, though she hopes her present to the youngster will lead to bigger things for them both.
She said: “[I bought] Simon the new ‘Star Wars Battle Quads’ drone, which can fly 35mph, while I got Lauren some Louboutin make-up.
“I gifted Eric a karaoke machine – we love singing carols together.
“His dad might sign us if we create a Christmas mash-up!”
The former pop star – who is mother to adopted children Magdalena, 11, and Zac, 10 – always knows what she can expect for Christmas from the music mogul.
She said: “Simon treated me to a pair of Louboutins one year but these days he gives me a Harrods gift card.
“I’ll send him a picture of what I bought as a thank you!”
But for Sinitta, she’ll never get a better Christmas gift than when she was legally granted custody of her kids.
She said: “My all-time favourite gift was when my adoption of Magdalena and Zac finally went through in 2007.
“The process took a long time and when they legally became my children, it was a week before Christmas. It was perfect timing.”

Justin Bieber 'is trying to block release of deposition video'

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Bieber is reportedly trying to block the release of his deposition video.
The on-screen evidence relates to a case brought against the 22-year-old pop star by his neighbour, who has accused Justin of egging his house and spitting on him back in 2014.
Lawyers for the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker believe that the release of the video could create an unwelcome storm around Justin, who recently courted controversy when he lashed out at a fan in Barcelona, Spain, after he reached into his car and tried to grab him.
The singer-songwriter has already paid $90,000 for the egging damage, but has refuted the allegation that he caused emotional distress to his neighbour, according to TMZ.
Earlier this month, meanwhile, PETA President Ingrid Newkirk branded Justin as “self-absorbed” and guilty of causing “needless suffering” to animals after he stepped out in West Hollywood wearing a fur coat.
The Canadian star was spotted wearing the animal pelt winter coat and whilst it was unknown whether or not the coat was real or faux just by looking at it, video footage of the star emerging from Hyde night club shows Justin confirming the coat is authentic fur.
Asked if it was real fur, Justin said: “Hell yeah it’s f***ing real!”
But Justin’s actions subsequently drew criticism from Ingrid, who is the head of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
Ingrid said: “I sometimes think that Justin Bieber needs a brain scan, as I suspect his mirror neurons – the seat of empathy – are underdeveloped or undeveloped, given that he acts like a self-absorbed, childish show-off.
“He seems incapable of seeing how his buying habits cause needless suffering to animals, such as baby tigers, baby monkeys, and wild coyotes.
“Animal groups are tired of having to clean up after him, from the abandoned baby monkey in Germany (now rescued) to the abusive zoo in Canada (now closed) to having to run ads explaining the horrible ways in which animals die for fur.”

The 32-year-old socialite – who has two-year-old daughter Sophia with husband Jay Rutland – is frequently overcome with emotion because she is so content with her home life and full of love for her little girl.
She admitted: “The last time I cried was probably today. I cry all the time because I’m happy and really content.
“Sophia can do the tiniest thing like hug me or say something funny and it will set me off.”
Though the brunette beauty is happy with her family life, she has no plans to expand her brood in the near future.
She said: “I’m still breastfeeding Sophia, check out my saggy boobs.
“I don’t feel ready for another baby at the moment because I want to give her all my attention.
“Maybe when she goes off to school.”
Since becoming a parent, Tamara’s life has changed completely and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
She said in a recent interview: “Since having Sophia, my life has turned completely around for the better. I wouldn’t swap it for the world.
“I don’t miss anything about my old life.
“There can be a lot of fake behaviour and hangers-on, but, with Sophia, I have pure, unaffected love.
“She doesn’t want anything else from me.
“I don’t have a nanny – being a hands-on mum is something I love.
“I hardly even drink any more. I have friends over to my house if I want to catch up with anyone.”

Sharing the romantic moment on Instagram, she wrote: “This morning, 9 months and 13 days later, he got down on one knee in the kitchen while I was burning pancakes and asked me to marry him. Loving him has been the greatest gift of my life. And now I get to do it for life. #HECALLEDDIBS. (sic)”

He told PeopleStyle: “I had the ring custom made with a diamond I picked from a local designer here in Nashville. I wanted it to be classic and beautiful, like her.”
And Kelsea now has another reason to keep in shape, fitting into a wedding gown, and she will also need to choose a dress to wear to the 2017 Grammy Awards on February 12, where she is nominated for Best New Artist.
The ‘Love Me Like You Mean It’ hitmaker previously admitted she had only recently taken up regular exercise so she can stay in great shape on tour.
At the time, she spilled: “I just started working out a month ago, because I hate it. I don’t love cardio, but I want to feel stronger and I want to feel toned, so we do smaller weights and a ton of reps. I noticed I have more endurance now when I’m running around performing.”
Kelsea and Morgan are yet to set a date for their big day.

Taylor Swift makes surprise visit to see World War II veteran

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift has surprised a 96-year-old World War II veteran with a visit to his home.
The 27-year-old singer-songwriter travelled to Missouri on Monday (26.12.16) to pay a special visit to the home of Cyrus Porter, who had previously attracted attention for watching Taylor in concert and claiming that her music had brought him closer to his grandchildren.
In a clip posted online, the chart-topping star is seen walking into a house jam-packed with people and greeting her elderly fan with gifts.
Taylor posed for photographs and even performed a few tunes for Cyrus, who previously claimed that the ‘Bad Blood’ hitmaker stages shows that no other entertainer can match.
He said: “I’ve been to two concerts. Memphis and St Louis. Look what she does … she puts on a show no one else puts on. I just enjoyed going to see ’em and her. I would as soon go see her right now as anybody!”
Earlier this month, Jaime King hailed Taylor as an “amazing” godmother to her and husband Kyle Newman’s 17-month-old son Leo Thames, saying she couldn’t have picked anyone better for the role.
Asked how Taylor is with Leo, Jaime explained: “She’s amazing. She’s great! As she is with everybody around her.”
Meanwhile, actress Jessica Alba is the godmother of Jamie’s three-year-old son James – and she previously explained the logic behind her decisions, insisting it had “nothing to do” with their celebrity status.
She said: “It really has nothing to do with the fact they’re Taylor Swift or Jessica Alba.
“It’s a collective way of raising your children that has to do with the fact that you’re choosing people who will help spiritually guide them and be there.”

Shayne Ward allergic to Santa suit

OHMYGOSSIP — Shayne Ward had an allergic reaction to a Santa suit that left him vomiting.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actor is thankful he has never had a disastrous Christmas but the worst thing that has happened to him during the festive season was his unusual response to the dressing up costume.
Asked if he’s ever had a Christmas disaster, he said: “No but I once wore a Santa’s outfit from America that gave me a weird reaction.
“I had to take it off and I was throwing up.”
Shayne, 32, shot to fame when he won the ‘X Factor’ in 2005 and admits he always associates the Christmas period with his stint on the show because he was crowned the winner in late December.
He said: “December 17, 2005. ‘Over the Rainbow’ was my final song on ‘The X Factor’ and it was a brilliant moment for me.
“It’s crazy but it was one of the most amazing times I’ve had. I loved it on there.”
Singing and acting are both very different professions but the ‘That’s My Goal’ hitmaker enjoys both aspects.
He said: “I like both. Singing is a huge passion of mine but acting is a completely different challenge.
“With a script, you do it once and it’s gone.
“It’s a different mindset and I love that.”
Shayne previously expressed a desire to become ‘Coronation Street’s biggest heartthrob.
Speaking about his role, which saw him secure the National Television Awards’ Best Newcomer gong, he shared: “It would be mint to play a heartthrob. I just love any type of challenge and roles because every day I’m learning, I’m watching, observing all the actors. That’s the great thing about it. I’ll have anything thrown at me. I’d like to give everything I possibly can and push myself as much as I can. I want to be thrown from pillar to post by women.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Lopez says despite 2016’s “ups and downs” she feels “blessed” to have a loving family.
The ‘On The Floor’ hitmaker – who has eight-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony – has a yearly tradition of sitting in front of her Christmas tree and reflecting on the year and this time she felt 2016 had brought her an overwhelming sense of love from her family and friends.
Alongside a selfie in front of her tree, she wrote on Instagram: “Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night… I have a ritual every year once everyone is asleep I like to go sit by the tree and think about the year that just went by. Check in on how I feel right in that moment about everything in my life. The Magic of the sparkly tree always takes me away into my thoughts and feelings … and this year I can honestly say my heart is full. This year had its ups and downs but as I sit here in my living room w my coconuts sleeping soundly upstairs, all of us healthy, a house full of family and friends, I feel surrounded by love and overflowing with gratitude for the many new blessings in my life!!! Merry Christmas everyone (sic)”
The 47-year-old singer was due to perform at the E11even nightclub in Miami on December 31, but she called off the show to spend more time with her family.
As for the ups and downs in her life this year, Jennifer called time on her five-year relationship with Casper Smart back in August, in what was claimed to be an “amicable” break-up.
Originally, it was speculated that the ‘Shades of Blue’ actress broke things off with the 29-year-old dancer because he failed to attend a charity dinner with her, but an accusation of infidelity had been made against him.
A source said at the time: “She kicked him out because he cheated on her and he got caught. It happened two years ago, and he promised he would never do it again and once he did, she was done.
“The truth is, he was cheating and now that it’s over he’s been begging to come back.”
Meanwhile, the Latino beauty is reportedly dating ‘One Dance’ rapper Drake.

Sony apologises to Britney Spears over death tweet

OHMYGOSSIP — Sony Music has issued an apology to Britney Spears after hackers announced on Twitter that she had died.
On Monday (26.12.16), Sony Music Global’s account tweeted that the chart-topping pop star was “dead by accident” and even included an “RIP Britney” with a crying emoji, while another post simply read: “RIP Britney Spears, 1981-2016.! (sic)”
But Sony has since clarified the situation, revealing that its account was hacked and sent its apologies to Britney and her fans.
In a statement, the company explained: “Sony Music Entertainment’s Twitter account was compromised.
“This has been rectified. Sony Music apologises to Britney Spears and her fans for any confusion.”
Elsewhere, Adam Leber, the manager of the ‘Toxic’ hitmaker, played down the situation, insisting Britney was “fine and well”.
He told CNN: “There have been a few internet clowns over the years who have made similar claims about her death, but never from the official Sony Music Twitter account.”
Meanwhile, it was recently reported that Britney, 35, is “totally smitten” with Sam Asghari, the personal trainer she met when he starred in her ‘Slumber Party’ video.
The pop star has been single since splitting from TV producer Charlie Ebersol in June 2015, but has been “quietly dating” a number of guys in recent months and now thinks she’s found happiness with Sam.
A source said: “This is the longest Britney has ever been out of a serious relationship and she’s made no secret of the fact that she’s been desperately lonely.
“She’s been quietly dating for the past year, but Sam is the first man she’s met who has swept her off her feet and she’s totally smitten.”
However, Britney – who has sons Sean Preston, 11, and Jayden, 10, with ex-husband Kevin Federline – is reportedly keen to keep their relationship low-key for the time being.
The source said: “Britney doesn’t want to go public with Sam until the boys have met him properly.”

Margot Robbie 'tattoos wedding date on close friends'

OHMYGOSSIP — Margot Robbie has reportedly tattooed the date of her wedding on some of her close pals.
The 26-year-old actress tied the knot with Tom Ackerley on December 19th at a private property in the Byron Bay Hinterland, and has now ensured that some of her guests will never forget the date by having 19 in Roman numerals inked on their skin, according to the Courier Mail newspaper.
The ‘Suicide Squad’ star announced her shock marriage last week via Instagram, sharing a picture of herself and new husband Tom – who she has been dating for three years – complete with her pear-shaped diamond wedding ring.
In the widely-shared photograph, the image of the couple is blurred out apart from her left hand which features the eye-catching sparkler on her wedding finger, which she is pointing towards the camera.
Around 50 guests were reportedly in attendance at their wedding, which began at 4pm and ended with a disco, which finished around 11pm.
The couple – who are said to have got engaged over the summer – were so determined to keep their big day a secret they even told guests to meet at different locations, from the Gold Coast to Byron Bay, before they were collected by bus and transported to the venue.
Guests were also asked to hand in cameras and mobile phones to ensure a social media blackout was adhered to.
Attendees at the ceremony included the star’s brothers Lachlan and Cameron, and her sister Anya.
However, the Hollywood star is estranged from her dad Doug so mother Sarie is thought to have given her away.
The ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ star previously confessed she would love to have kids with Tom one day and revealed they would move back Down Under when that time comes.
She said: “They’ll be here. The kids will be in Australia.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kevin Hart visited Nick Cannon as he spent Christmas (25.12.16) in hospital.
The ‘Americas Got Talent’ judge has been forced to spend the holiday season in hospital after complications relating to his autoimmune disease Lupus, but didn’t have to spend the festive day alone surrounded by medical staff as he was visited by the actor and 84-year-old activist Dick Gregory.
Taking to his Instagram account on Boxing Day (26.12.16) to share a shot of the three men together, 37-year-old Kevin wrote: “So happy to see my brother @nickcannon getting back to himself. Nothing but love for you man….. #GetWellNick #Ncredible (sic)”
Nick then posted the same photo to his own page on the photo-sharing website, where he thanked everyone for their support during his recovery.
He captioned the photo: “Man, so many loving strong vibrations came to visit me in the hospital today! Thank you to EVERYONE for all the gifts, messages, comments, the time, the love and the prayers… I’m getting there!!! And once I’m back… it’s about to be #Ncredible (sic)”
The 36-year-old star revealed on Thursday (22.12.16) that he would be spending the holiday season in hospital, after he took to Instagram to share a photo of his arm hooked up to a monitor in Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Hospital.
He wrote beside the photo: “For all who have been trying to contact me the last few days this is where I’ve been. And I will be in the Hospital through Christmas.
“All good though, Doctors say I will be back to normal before the New Year. #LupusSucks #ncredible #warrior.(sic)”

George Michael 'knocked sideways' by well wishes

OHMYGOSSIP — George Michael’s bandmate Andrew Ridgeley thinks the late star would have been “knocked sideways” by the “goodwill and well wishes” from fans following his sudden death.
The Wham! singer was devastated when he learned his close friend – who formed the other half of the musical duo – had died from heart failure on Christmas Day (25.12.16) at the age of 53 at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, South East England, and has been blown away by the amount of people who have gathered round to pass on their condolences.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Andrew said: “It’s all pretty raw for everyone still. I understand that there are a lot of people worldwide who care for him and his music.
“The outpouring of goodwill and well-wishing has been remarkable and inspiring and he would have been knocked sideways by it. I think he would have been genuinely humbled by the expression of sadness from people.”
The 53-year-old singer-songwriter took some time to digest the tragic news before he took to his Twitter account on Boxing Day (26.12.16) to pay tribute to his talented bandmate.
Andrew said of his pal, who had the nickname ‘Yog’: “Heartbroken at the loss of my beloved friend Yog. Me, his loved ones, his friends, the world of music, the world at large. 4ever loved. A xx (sic)”
Although George’s death came as a huge blow to fans, it’s believed his close friends knew it was only a matter of time as he had been battling with an addiction to heroin for quite some time and had been rushed to hospital earlier this year for treatment following an overdose.
Prior to his death, the ‘Careless Whisper’ hitmaker was supposedly planning a musical comeback next year with a new album ‘Listen Without Prejudice 25’ and documentary called ‘Freedom’ about his time in Wham! but it’s not yet known if they will still be released.

Emilia Fox took famous guests for granted

OHMYGOSSIP — Emilia Fox wishes she’d made the most of having famous guests round for Christmas when she was younger.
The 42-year-old actress – who is the daughter of actors Edward Fox and Joanna David – always “took for granted” the people her parents invited over to join their family for the festive season, and though she thinks their lives influenced her chosen career path, she admits she regrets not quizzing them more.
She said: “Christmas always sticks in my mind as my mum would always do big Christmases with such a variety of people.
“Amazing actors like Lindsay Anderson or Fred Zinnemann, who directed my father in ‘The Day of the Jackal’.
“As a child you just take them for granted as your mum’s friends, but now I wish I could sit down with them and ask them all these questions because I’m fascinated by their lives.
“When people say to me, ‘Do you think acting is in your blood?’ I always said no but I definitely feel the people I met and the stories they had to tell has given me a better understanding of the highs and lows of acting. That’s what acting is – telling stories.”
The ‘Silent Witness’ actress has a six-year-old daughter, Rose, with ex-boyfriend Jeremy Gilley, and despite her own background, admits it would be her “worst nightmare” if the youngster grew up wanting to be an actress.
She said: “I always think it is a parent’s worst nightmare when their child says they want to be an actor. It is such a precarious profession to choose…
“I feel that I want to give Rose as wide of a spectrum to give her the chance to do what she wants to do. She might want to do something completely different.”

Kylie Jenner helping Blac Chyna with kids

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Jenner has been a “huge help” to Blac Chyna by looking after her son King Cairo.
The 28-year-old model has been busy since she gave birth to her second child Dream Kardashian – whom she shares with Rob Kardashian – last month, and sources say she is thankful to the 19-year-old reality star for keeping her four-year-old son King Cairo – whom she shares with Kylie’s boyfriend Tyga – “happy and satisfied”.
A source said: “Kylie can’t do any wrong where Chyna’s concerned. Kylie’s been a huge help to her by watching King and keeping him happy and satisfied as she deals with her two little babies who require so much of her attention, by the name of Dream and Rob.”
The news of Chyna’s friendship with the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star comes as it was recently claimed members of the famous family – which include mother Kris Jenner, and sisters Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney Kardashian – weren’t happy with the tumultuous relationship between her and Rob.
The source added to HollywoodLife.com: “Still, she feels salty that Kris, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney aren’t supporting her relationship with Rob Kardashian and she’s equally mad at them for excluding her from family functions.”
The engaged pair – who have their own reality show ‘Rob & Chyna’ – separated last week after constantly fighting with one another, but reconciled just before Christmas to spend the holiday with their new-born daughter.
Recently, it was claimed Chyna had been left off the guest list for Kris’ annual Christmas bash as the family “can’t stand” the constant arguments between the new parents.
An insider said at the time: “Rob’s family is over Chyna. She is not invited to Kris’ holiday party.
“Rob’s family is trying to distance themselves from Chyna. They can’t stand the toxic relationship. They very much care about baby Dream though. It’s just come to the point when they think Rob is better off without being in a relationship with Chyna.”

George Michael told pals he'd never perform again

OHMYGOSSIP — George Michael secretly told his friends that he’d never perform again prior to his death.
The Wham! singer was supposedly planning a comeback next year with a new album and documentary about his time in the pop band before he tragically died on Christmas Day (25.12.16), but those closest to him knew that was never going to be the case because he was plagued with worry that his vocals wouldn’t be up to scratch anymore.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “George was such a perfectionist and had seriously high standards when it came to music. His vocal ability was legendary in music circles but given increasing health issues, he knew hitting those levels would be tough.
“George had to be 100 per cent fit and firing if he was to return to the studio and sadly that was so far off. His friends knew this day (the day he died) would be coming but perhaps not as early as it eventually arrived.”
The ‘Careless Whisper’ hitmaker was initially planning to shake the music world last month with his new album ‘Listen Without Prejudice 25’ but his comeback was delayed until March next year because he was busy putting the “finishing touches” on his tell-all film about his time in Wham! called ‘Freedom’ and he wanted the releases to coincide.
George tragically passed away from heart failure at the age of just 53 at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, South East England, over the weekend.
It’s believed George had been battling with an addiction to heroin for quite some time and had been rushed to hospital earlier this year for treatment following an overdose.
Despite his health, George had continued to make plans for the festive season and had arranged to see his boyfriend Fadi Fawaz – who found him dead in bed – over Christmas.
He’d also invited former Wham! vocalist Shirlie Holliman, her husband Martin Kemp and their son Roman – who is George’s godson – round for dinner on Boxing Day (26.12.16).
Speaking before George passed away, Roman, 23, said: “We’re going to George’s house on Boxing Day. To me, you do the Christmas rounds and you see all those people who are big influences on my life. I speak to him quite often. He speaks to my mum every week. He’s just family to me, fame is not a big deal. I know it sounds strange but I’ve known him my whole life.”
