Alan Thicke's family will celebrate his life

OHMYGOSSIP — Alan Thicke’s family are going to have a “celebration” in his honour at the weekend.
The ‘Growing Pains’ actor passed away earlier this week after suffering a heart attack, and while his oldest sons, Brennan and singer Robin, 39, are processing their grief with “quiet time”, they will all come together on Saturday (17.12.16) to remember the star.
Brennan, 41, and Robin’s mother, Alan’s ex-wife Gloria Loring, told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I told them I was ready to come in and be with them if they wanted me there.
“They said, ‘Give us a day, we just need some quiet time.’ I said, ‘I’m there if you need me, and I’m here in Lake Arrowhead if you want to talk.’ Everyone has their own way of grieving.
“We’re all going to be together on Saturday because we have a joint birthday party for my son, Brennan, and myself. So, it will be a celebration of Alan, as well as our lives. It’ll be a very tender time for sure.”
Though Alan – who also had 19-year-old son Carter with second ex-wife Gina Tolleson – and Gloria, 70, divorced in 1984, they remained close and she can’t bear the thought of life without him.
She said: “He loved his family so much. He was the centerpiece to our family and I can’t imagine going forward.
“We always had Thanksgiving and Christmas with the big, extended family, and I just can’t imagine how it’s going to be without him.
“Alan loved his kids, loved his grandkids – he was known as ‘Pops,’ and I think my sons could speak best to their relationship with him, but I know it was always one of a mentor, a counsellor, a supporter.
“He was always there when they needed him. He was very devoted to his family and he was always so much fun to have in the room anywhere he was — his sense of humour went before him.”
And Gloria will always cherish her time with Alan, who is survived by third wife Tanya Callau.
She said: “I’m so grateful that I had the time I had with him.
“I learned so much from being with him about so many aspects of being an adult, and being in the entertainment industry, because he was a writer and a producer and I was merely a performer.
“He opened my eyes to what production people go through, and the demands of that. So, I’m just so grateful for the time I had with him.”

Amber Heard files paperwork to get settlement

OHMYGOSSIP — Amber Heard has filed legal documents in a bid to get her divorce settlement from Johnny Depp.
The ‘Danish Girl’ actress had reached an agreement with the 52-year-old actor in August that he would pay her $7 million, which she wanted to be donated to charity, but her legal team have filed a Request for Order with Los Angeles Superior Court accusing the actor of failing to pay the money.
And as well as the money and requesting fees and costs up to $35,435, the attorneys claims Johnny has also failed to comply with various other mandates, including the division of personal property, transferring a Range Rover into the 30-year-old star’s name, shipping her belongings from his private Bahamas island, and his outstanding debts incurred from cars, jewellery and stylist fees.
A declaration written by Amber alleges Johnny broke their agreement by paying his initial $200,000 donation to charity directly, rather than to the actress, and slammed claims she had “violated the confidentiality provisions” of their settlement.
She wrote: “Instead, when Johnny learned that I planned to donate my entire marital settlement to charities, Johnny purported to satisfy his obligation to pay me by supposedly paying the charities I selected instead of me.
“He also claimed that I violated the confidentiality provisions of the [Deal Point Memorandum] by announcing that I was donating my settlement to charities. In fact, I made those donations in good faith and I was responding to the leaks by Johnny’s agents bragging that I had settled for substantially less than a reported, earlier offered sum and attempting to label me a gold digger.”
It has been speculated Johnny has withheld payments because he believes Amber has breached their confidentiality agreement in her two recent pieces about domestic violence, despite never referring to her ex-husband by name in either the public service announcement she contributed to, or the open letter she penned for a news outlet.

Carrie Ann Inaba engaged

OHMYGOSSIP — Carrie Ann Inaba has got engaged.
The ‘Dancing With the Stars’ judge is to marry Robb Derringer after the 49-year-old actor popped the question with a ring by Jean Dousset at the secluded beach cove on the Californian coast where they enjoyed their first date earlier this year.
The 48-year-old beauty told People magazine: “Saturdays are special to us, because our first date was on a Saturday and we have celebrated with a toast, a visit to a beach, special date, a motorcycle adventure, or a road trip on every Saturday since.
“So on Saturday, we returned to the place of our first date and got engaged at the same place we shared our spontaneous and magical first date.
“We shared our desire to commit to one another for life by beginning that journey in a very intimate and private way, just the two of us, alone on the beach with a bonfire, a bottle of Aubert Chardonnay and the majestic Pacific ocean that has always been an integral force in both our lives.”
The former ‘General Hospital’ actor began his romantic proposal by giving Carrie Ann a letter he’d written to describe his feelings for her.
He said: “I’m a better writer than a speaker so I chose to share my thoughts with Carrie in a letter expressing how much she meant to me, how much she had changed me, how much she had taught me in our time together thus far and what my hopes and dreams and intentions were for our future together.
“I then got down on one knee under what I will always remember as the most serene and tranquil night sky I’ve ever seen and asked my beautiful girl if she would do me the honour of being my wife, to which she thankfully replied yes.”
And the dancer admits she will “never forget” Robb’s proposal.
She said: “All alone on that beautiful beach, it was as if time stood still and we were the only two people on earth. I will never forget it. It was perfect.
“Getting engaged where we had that perfect first date, was really such poetic destiny.”
The couple have yet to set a wedding date.

Ben Affleck's film ruined by romance with Jennifer Lopez

OHMYGOSSIP — Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s unsuccessful film ‘Gigli’ was only made “into a big f***ing deal” because they were dating at the time.
The 44-year-old actor is convinced the 2003 romantic comedy – which starred him as Larry Gigli and the actress as Ricki – would have slipped under the radar following its dramatic flop at cinemas if he hadn’t been dating the brunette beauty at the time.
Speaking at a TimesTalks discussion in New York City on Wednesday (14.12.16), he said: “It could have been a bad movie no one cared about. Angelina Jolie had a bad movie (‘Beyond Borders’) that year and no one cared. But it was because I was dating Jennifer Lopez that made it a big f***ing deal. So not only was it just a bad movie but ‘they dated each other. There was a reporter doing stand-up in front of the theatre that Friday morning, [saying] ‘Here I am outside of ‘Gigli’, and as you can see, no one is here in line. I was like, ‘What is this, hurricane coverage?’ ”
Ben and Jennifer started dating in 2002 after they met on the set of the film, which is based on a criminal lesbian, a hitman with a heart of gold, and a mentally challenged man who become best friends through a hostage, the same year
However, despite getting engaged, their highly-publicised relationship – which was dubbed ‘Bennifer’ – didn’t last long as they called time on their romance in 2004.
Ben went on to date Jennifer Garner later that year and married her in June 2005 in a private ceremony in Turks and Caicos ceremony.
They have three children Violet, 11, Sera, seven, and Samuel, four, together but announced their decision to divorce last year following a decade of marriage.
Despite their separation, the estranged couple continue to live together and are often seen together out and about in Los Angeles with their children.
Jennifer, on the other hand, hasn’t much luck in the love department either as she started dating her longtime friend Marc Anthony shortly after her split with Ben.
The now-former couple got married five months later and have six-year-old twins Max and Emme together but split in July 2011 and were divorce in June 2014.
She’s now in an on/off relationship with her backing dancer Casper Smart.

WWE announces tournament to crown first United Kingdom Champion

OHMYGOSSIP — WWE has announced it is to crown its first ever United Kingdom Champion with a weekly British wrestling TV programme set to follow.
World Wrestling Entertainment is to host an elimination tournament comprised of 16 British and Irish wrestlers held at the
historic Empress Ballroom in Blackpool, England, a venue which has long been associated with the sport, to find a winner.
The event will take place on Saturday January 14 and Sunday January 15 with tickets available at livenation.co.uk and it will be broadcast live on the WWE Network subscription streaming service.
Once the tournament has taken place the company has exciting plans to follow it up with a weekly programme showcasing the best wrestlers in the UK and Ireland.
Speaking at a press conference held at The O2 in London on Thursday (15.12.16), WWE Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative and in-ring legend Triple H said: “This is an historic moment … The WWE Network with 1.5 million subscribers is not just the WWE’s fastest growing business but a launching pad for new programming and global brands. We did it with NXT, it started off as are developmental system but it quickly morphed into something much more than that … NXT’s success quickly made it WWE’s third global brand.
“The success of NXT is what brings us here today, it’s the next chapter of our talent development and content strategy. One of the great things about the WWE Network is our ability to further engage fans with localised content. We spent the better part of a year working in the UK with brands such as progress, Rev Pro and ICW (Insane Championship Wrestling) and OTT in Ireland, we spent that time to cultivate the best talent in the UK and Ireland and today we are excited to announce we will crown for the first time ever a WWE United Kingdom Champion. We will crown that champion live on the WWE Network in a special two-night tournament on Saturday January 14 and Sunday January 15 beginning at 8pm, it will feature 16 of the top competitors from the UK and Ireland in a 16-man single elimination tournament.
“There’s no reason why the WWE United Kingdom tournament will not be as successful as NXT or 205 Live in terms of programming, talent development, touring, merchandising, all of it. Just like we’ve done with NXT and the cruiserweights our intent is in the long-term to use this tournament as a launching pad for a brand new WWE weekly show right here in the UK.”
The 16 competitors confirmed for the single-elimination tournament are Trent Seven, from Wolverhampton; hard-hitting Pete Dunne, from Birmingham; Tyler Bate, the bright young 19-year-old star from Dudley, West Midlands; big brawler Wolfgang, from Glasgow; tough Tyson T-Bone, from Malvern; the aggressive Northern Irish grappler Tucker; Irish high-flyer Jordan Devlin, who hails from Bray, in County Wicklow and Londoner Roy Johnson, a former champion powerlifter.
William Regal, Head Scout and WWE Talent Development trainer, and WWE trainer Robbie Brookside participated in the scouting process to find the tournament competitors using their unrivalled knowledge and experience of the UK scene developed from their illustrious careers in the squared circle.
WWE lead announcer Michael Cole will be joined by colour analyst Nigel McGuinness on commentary for the tournament.
McGuinness – a mainstay of the UK independent wrestling scene – had to prematurely call time on his own career as a competitor in 2012 after he tested positive for Hepatitis B.

Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini was 'overwhelmed' after Cheryl split

OHMYGOSSIP — Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini felt “overwhelmed” when he split from Cheryl just a few months after his father died.
The French restaurateur has admitted it was a difficult time in his life and he felt very lonely when his marriage to the former ‘X Factor’ judge broke down in January 2016 not long after he lost his dad.
Asked how he dealt with the media attention when he and Cheryl broke up, he said: “I wondered what they could find to say about me. I wondered how you react when someone says a false fact about you and you are by yourself with no one else around you.
“When something ends, it is always difficult. Emotionally it’s complicated and hard, especially when it is publicised all over the world with the wrong facts. I had everything up in the air – the grief of my father’s death, difficulty in my personal life, building a new business. It was overwhelming and complicated to deal with; I’m not different to anyone else.”
However, Jean-Bernard holds no ill-will towards the former Girls Aloud star – who has since settled down with her new love Liam Payne and is expecting his baby – and has accepted she followed her heart and did what she thought was best for her.
He said: “Things happen and sometimes you have to follow your heart. If you observe society, everybody is thinking – they should feel more.”
Asked what first attracted him to the 33-year-old singer, Jean-Bernard said they clicked immediately and had an instant chemistry.
Speaking in an interview with the new issue ES Magazine – which is available now – he shared: “I liked the chemistry we had. I’m sure if you’ve watched her on TV you can see she has a great sense of humour.”

Khloe Kardashian has an 'unhealthy relationship' with food

OHMYGOSSIP — Khloe Kardashian has always had an “unhealthy relationship” with food.
The 32-year-old ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star – who has recently finalised her divorce with her ex-husband Lamar Odom who tied the knot in 2009 but split four years later – has admitted she needed an “outlet” to help her get through her break-up, and although the star has admitted her release used to come from gorging on food, this time saw her turn to fitness.
Speaking to Health magazine about her release during the tough time, the beauty said: “I was going through my divorce, and I just really needed an outlet. I had turned to food and had an unhealthy relationship with food my whole life, and I was like, ‘Food has never helped me lose weight.’ ”
And the ‘Strong Looks Better Naked’ star has revealed this time around she bucked the habit and turned to fitness instead to help her “block out” the stress from her personal issues.
She explained: “So I joined Equinox, and I would go there and put my headphones on and get on the elliptical or the stairs, and no one would bother me or ask me questions because even at Starbucks, I would get the, ‘I’m sorry…’ I would watch the ‘Real Housewives’ or something mindless, and I felt like all the stress I was under, all the paparazzi, I blocked out all that noise.
“I escaped there and as a byproduct, I started losing weight. Then I thought, ‘OK, I’m gonna call a trainer and Gunnar Peterson has been a family friend of ours.’ He changed my body.”
The television personality has since moved on from her former partner and is dating the 25-year-old sportsman Tristan Thompson, who she has described as a “little cutie”.
She gushed: “I love athletes. Someone who has the same interests as me, who likes to work out, like that’s their hobby or their job, that’s fine. Tristan is who I’m into. He’s a little cutie.”

Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence were 'shushed' on Passenger set

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence were “shushed” like children on the set of ‘Passengers’.
The 37-year-old actor and his 26-year-old co-star have admitted they took turns pranking each other whilst filming and promoting their new movie, but the fair-haired hunk has hinted he found it harder to stay serious in comparison to Jennifer, whilst shooting scenes for the science fiction film, and was often told to stop the gags.
He told PEOPLE: “Every once in a while we had to be shushed. We had a lot of fun. We were laughing a lot. She’s [Jennifer] better at switching immediately from goofball mode into serious acting mode, so sometimes I had to kind of shut it down and kind of go inward to get there.
“She just kind of turns it on and off real quick. So yeah, we got in a little trouble – but not too much.”
The blonde beauty – who plays the role of Aurora Dunn in the romantic thriller – has admitted director Morten Tyldum wasn’t amused by the duos antics and thinks her and Chris “got in the way”.
The ‘The Hunger Games’ star explained: “Yeah, that happened a lot, we were all in this together trying to finish this movie, and then we turn Morten into the principal [on the schoolyard]. But yeah. We probably got in the way a couple times.”
However, the 49-year-old creative mastermind has admitted he wasn’t annoyed by his cast because he claims their humour brought balance and “lightness” to the production.
He explained: “There’s a lot of big emotional scenes there, and I think to have that levity, to have that playfulness … You can’t be a whole day and go into a day like ‘Today I’m going to hate you,’ and ‘Today I’m going to have a breakdown.’ You can’t go around in that dark cloud all day, so they need this lightness, to have this fun.
“I was the serious one, and they were the funny ones.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ben Affleck thinks Matt Damon is “very bitter” about not being Batman.
The 44-year-old actor has taken on the responsibility of directing, producing and portraying the much-loved caped crusader, but Ben has joked that his ‘Good Will Hunting’ co-star and long-time friend is a little bit jealous.
He shared: “He’s very bitter. All he gets to do is ‘Jason Bourne’. Just keeps doing it again and again. We get it.”
Ben said Matt shouldn’t be too jealous, because his Oscar-winning friend has also enjoyed his own success.
Ben said: “He’s had his share. I got we ‘Bought a Zoo’ on a loop in the house.”
The Batman actor also opened up about his well-known friendship with Matt, who has been a close pal of his since they were young.
Ben admitted it has been incredible for them to emerge as two of the biggest stars on the Hollywood scene and yet they still maintain a close bond.
He told ABC News: “Being friends and having a guy to go through all that stuff with.
“To have a relationship and have a sense of humour about it, it’s crucial.”
This comes shortly after Ben – who has kids Violet, 11, Seraphina, seven, and Samuel, four with estranged wife Jennifer Garner – revealed he will spend Christmas with Matt.
He shared: “I can tell you that we’re going to do skiing in Montana with our family and Matt Damon’s family and my brother’s family.

Katie Price: Harvey is close to having diabetes

OHMYGOSSIP — Katie Price is worried her son Harvey is close to having near-fatal diabetes.
The 38-year-old TV personality said that her 14-year-old son – who she shares with former lover Dwight Yorke – weighs 18 stone due to his rare genetic condition Prader-Willi syndrome, which makes sufferers always feel hungry.
She said: “He’s 14, he weighs 18 stone. He never knows when he’s full up – he’ll do anything he can to feed himself. At the table you’d think he’d never eaten.
“He’s that close to getting diabetes at the minute. He’s still got a kid’s heart it would be fatal if we don’t watch him.”
The former model said that she constantly battles with the choices of food to give her son, and admitted to giving in to his hunger with treats.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Loose Women’ on Thursday (15.12.16), Katie said: “We do have lots of food in our house, we’re not health conscious. When I go food shopping, to get Harvey around he wants a blueberry muffin but they only sell them as a four so he has to walk around with four muffins.”
And although she is concerned for the health of her oldest son – who also suffers from autism, ADHD and blindness – Katie thinks it has taught her other children, particularly her 11-year-old son Junior – who she shares with her former husband Peter Andre – how to stay healthy.
She added: “The good thing about it, if there is a good thing, it is the other kids are aware of what it’s like to be overweight.
“With my other children if I thought they got bigger I’d notice it. Junior is obsessed with having a six pack … because his dad was famous for it.”

Jodie Foster is being stalked

OHMYGOSSIP — Jodie Foster is being stalked by an obsessed woman.
The 54-year-old actress is being followed by Celine Martelluer, who visited Jodie’s Beverly Hills home and followed the two-time Oscar-winner when she was filming in Toronto, Canada, according to TMZ.
In one email, Celine is reported to have written: “I am still in Toronto until next month. I am around avoiding cops. Jodie is in my thoughts every minute.”
But Jodie’s wife, actress Alexandra Hedison, has now taken out a restraining order against Celine, who is said to be in love with the Hollywood icon.
Alexandra has claimed that she was at home on December 9 when Celine turned up at their security gate, and when she was asked via the intercom to identify herself, she told Alexandra: “You should know who it is.”
Alexandra subsequently called the police, but was told that they could not do anything because she was not breaching an order of protection.
However, having just secured the restraining order, Celine is now required to stay at least 100 yards away from Jodie, Alexandra and their two children, Charles and Christopher, who Jodie had with her ex-partner Cydney Bernard.
In her documents handed to the authorities, Alexandra also made reference to her wife’s well-known history with “mentally troubled” people.
During the early 1980s, Jodie was stalked by John Hinckley Jr, who developed an obsession with the actress after watching ‘Taxi Driver’.
He tried to contact Jodie, both through letters and by phone, and in 1981, he attempted to assassinate US President Ronald Reagan in a bid to impress the actress.
John injured the President and three other people in the dramatic incident, but was released from institutional psychiatric care earlier year.

Natalie Portman wishes she could drink at the Golden Globes

OHMYGOSSIP — Natalie Portman is feeling glum about not being able to drink alcohol at the Golden Globes.
The award-winning star has been nominated for the Best Actress gong for her starring role in the biography movie ‘Jackie’, but will have to refrain from drinking at the glitzy ceremony on January 8 because she is pregnant with her second child.
Natalie, 35 – who already has a five-year-old son called Aleph with her husband Benjamin Millepied – said she would “unfortunately not” be able to drink at the awards ceremony.
The actress admitted she would much prefer to have a drink at the event, saying on ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’: “It certainly makes it a lot more fun.”
Earlier this month, Natalie – who won an Academy Award in 2011 for her starring role in ‘Black Swan’ – revealed she is craving pineapples and burritos during her pregnancy.
She shared: “With (first child Aleph) it was very (different) …
“I wanted cream puffs, anything dessert with cream in it, or just plain cream straight. This time it’s, like, healthy – pineapple, cucumbers, burritos, which is maybe less healthy, but delicious.”
Natalie also admitted she can’t wait to lose her baby weight.
She said: “It does make you look forward to the day when you can just have your own body on the red carpet. It’s weird because I’m a small person in general, so you show a lot faster and a lot more when you’re small. Everyone thinks I’m about to pop and about to give birth any minute, and I have months to go.
“I went to the store the other day to buy water and the guy at the checkout counter was like, ‘Almost, huh?’ I was like, ‘No! Not at all!”

Neil Patrick Harris' daughter wants house for xmas

OHMYGOSSIP — Neil Patrick Harris’ daughter wants a house for Christmas.
The 43-year-old actor has admitted he and his partner David Burtka were stunned when they read their children’s Christmas list and discovered Harper, six, wanted to wake up on December 25 to find a “life-sized doll house” under her decorated tree.
Speaking on ‘The Late Show’ on Wednesday (14.12.16), he explained: “I said, ‘Harper, a life-sized dollhouse for you is just a house. You want me to get a house for you?’ And she said, ‘Yeah.’ What is it with these giant gifts? ‘Where do we put a life-sized dollhouse that’s large enough for you as a person?’ And she said, ‘On the roof.’ ”
And it’s not just Harper who has an obsession with giant gifts, as her twin brother Gideon has requested a bounce house and a life-sized rocket ship.
He explained: “That’s what he’s after. We live in the city, that’s what I said to him. ‘Where are we supposed to put a life-sized rocket?’ It’s gonna be a late night on the 24th.”
However, although the couple – who got married in 2014 – are going to do all they can to get gifts their children want, Neil isn’t planning to get him a rocket that is “life-sized.”
Neil’s strict views on Christmas presents won’t come as too much of a surprise to his twins – who were born via a surrogate mother – as he recently admitted that he is a lot more strict on the youngsters than his husband David.
He said: “[I’m the] bad cop when it comes to disciplining the kids” and [my parenting style is similar to a] camp counsellor rather than a maternal nurturer. With kids you need to be able to answer their questions in earnest and you need to try and get from the way they are asking the question to what they might actually be wanting to know. The more communicative they have become, the sweeter it’s been for me.”

Louisa Johnson: I love putting Twitter trolls in their place

OHMYGOSSIP — Louisa Johnson relishes putting Twitter trolls “in their place”.
The 18-year-old pop star has previously taken to the social media platform to rubbish critics of her boyfriend Daniel Elliott, and has now admitted she enjoys taking the chance to hit back at online bullies.
The ‘So Good’ hitmaker said: “I think [the trolling is one] of those things. I have that kind of personality where it doesn’t really get to me and I tell them to not to do it but I’m one of those people, I can’t help myself, I just put people back in their place.
“Sometimes I want to respond and I know I’m giving them what they want but sometimes I just want to put them back in their place. He doesn’t get upset by it, he finds it hilarious.”
In October, Louisa shared a holiday snap of herself in a white bikini cuddling up to her boyfriend – but the eye-catching image prompted one social media user to reply: “‘your boyfriend ain’t even coming close to be honest’ (sic)”
Louisa wasn’t in the mood to accept the criticism, though, and quickly hit back by saying: “my boyfriend is my boyfriend cuz he aint shallow like u boy bye. (sic)”
Meanwhile, the teen pop star – who won the UK version of ‘The X Factor’ in 2015 – has also opened up about her relationship with Daniel, who she has been dating for a year.
The couple – who are thought to have started dating during the talent show – are already living together and Louisa revealed things are “amazing” between them.
She told Mail Online: “It’s going amazing with Daniel, really good. It’s been amazing. It’s quite normal living with him really, it’s just nice to have him around.”

Will Smith's dad 'embarrassed' he outlived cancer prognosis

OHMYGOSSIP — Will Smith’s dad joked he was “embarrassed” that he outlived his cancer prognosis.
The 48-year-old actor’s father, William Carroll, was given just six weeks to live when he was diagnosed with cancer and shocked his family, and himself, by staying alive for more than twice as long as doctors had predicted.
Will recalled: “He was given six weeks and he lived for four months. So you know, I went to see him, about three months in, and he was like, ‘Man, this is embarrassing.’ And I said, ‘What?’ and he said, ‘You tell people you’re going to be dead in six weeks and three months later you’re still hanging around.”
Will was filming ‘Collateral Beauty’ when he was given the tragic news that his dad wouldn’t be around for much longer, but admitted it helped him relate to his on-screen character Howard Inlet, who loses his daughter in the emotional drama.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’, Will said: “In reading the screenplay, when I first got that this guy suffers a loss, and he writes three letters, one to love, one to time and one to death, and in his deteriorating mental state, he mails the letters, and then love time and death respond. I thought that was a beautiful concept for a film, so I was in at that point.
“And you know, the character dealing with the loss of his daughter as I was dealing with the impending loss of my father … it was fun to really dive into all of those ideas and the contrast of finding what was funny in every scene and then dealing with the heavier tragic elements.”

Lindsay Lohan 'spotted flirting with mystery man'

OHMYGOSSIP — Lindsay Lohan has been spotted being “affectionate and holding hands” with a mystery man in Dubai.
The 30-year-old actress – who split from London-based Russian millionaire Egor Tarabasov earlier this year – was reportedly seen flirting with a “tall, dark and handsome” man in the financial district of Dubai.
A witness told the New York Post newspaper: “She enjoyed a few drinks with him and a group of friends. They were also dancing together.”
However, the source also observed that the ‘Mean Girls’ star “was very well-behaved”.
Speculation surrounding Lindsay’s love life comes shortly after it was reported that she is living in a hotel after being asked to leave her London rental apartment.
The Hollywood star was issued with court papers by lawyers acting for the landlord of a £3.5 million flat she was leasing in Knightsbridge, after she failed to pay £77,600 owed in rent.
Lindsay raised the money to pay off her debts and move out of the property and into Blake’s hotel in the British capital.
But Lindsay – who has also been romantically linked to Dennis Papageorgiou, her partner in a Greek nightclub called Lohan – was said to be planning to leave the hotel in order to stay with a friend.
A source said: “Lindsay has been in a complete financial mess. She has been staying at a smart hotel but has now had the offer of staying at a friend’s apartment whilst she tries to sort herself out.”
Prior to that, Egor reportedly accused the actress of stealing items from him, worth a total of £24,000, including a Rolex Oyster watch, designer clothing and a small gold crucifix, which belonged to his late godfather.
A friend of Egor said: “Lindsay is in an absolute mess. She has blown virtually all her money, and has basically resigned herself to being declared bankrupt … The whole situation is incredibly tragic, and for Lindsay this is an astonishing fall from grace.
“The thing he really wants back and which, ironically, is of very little monetary value, is a small gold Russian orthodox cross which was given to him by his dead godfather.”
