Emily Ratajkowski slams nude pictures as 'violation'

OHMYGOSSIP — Emily Ratajkowski has slammed photographer Jonathan Leder for releasing nude photos of her.
The 25-year-old actress and model stripped down to her bare body for a shoot four years ago, which have since been leaked, and the ‘Gone Girl’ star thinks the published pictures are a “violation” of her and her privacy because they have been used out of context.
The brunette beauty took to social media to share her upset, and tweeted: “I’ve been resisting speaking publicly on the recently released photos by Jonathan Leder to avoid giving him publicity. But I’ve had enough
“This book and the images within them are a violation.
“5 out of the now 100s of released photos were used for what they were intended: an artful magazine shoot back in 2012 (sic).”
And Emily – who shot to fame after prancing around without her clothes on in Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’ music video – believes Jonathan’s actions go against everything she stands for.
She continued: “These photos being used w/out my permission is an example of exactly the opposite of what I stand for:
“Women choosing when and how they want to share their sexuality and bodies. (sic).”
The explicit pictures, which have reportedly been published without her permission, have been printed in a book titled ‘The Emily Ratajkowski Collector’s Edition’ by Imperial Pictures Publishing and include over 70 portraits of Emily in her birthday suit.
In the images Emily can be seen kneeling up against a chair clutching at her breasts at the Cape House in Woodstock in New York, whilst looking seductively into the camera.
Meanwhile, Jonathan has recently taken to social media to showcase a tame Polaroid picture of Emily sporting a nude bra and high waisted briefs, whilst wearing rouge lipstick, kneeling over a bed frame, which he has shared to his Instagram account.
He captioned the post: “Editing Polaroids for the upcoming Polaroid show at the@castorgallery Chelsea. Opens Feb 9, 2017 . (sic).”

Ryan Gosling has more diapers and more love

OHMYGOSSIP — Ryan Reynolds’ house is filled with “more love and more diapers” now he has two children.
The ‘Deadpool’ actor and his wife Blake Lively welcomed their second daughter – a sibling for 23-month-old James – into the world in September but the 40-year-old hunk insists the new arrival hasn’t changed the “dynamic” of their household.
He told Canada’s ‘etalk’: “It didn’t change the dynamic. There’s just more. There’s more love, there’s more diapers. There’s more of all that stuff, you know.”
And Ryan is particularly enjoying seeing little James take on the responsibility of being a big sister.
He gushed: “It was kind of profound. I just love watching my older daughter take care of the newborn. That’s been kind of neat to see.”
While Ryan and his 29-year-old wife haven’t revealed the name of their second child, they are happy with her moniker.
He said: “We settled on the right one.”
The ‘Buried’ actor thinks being a father is the best thing to ever happen to him.
He said: “It’s the best thing. You know, it’s the best thing that could ever happen to you.”
But he also admitted he isn’t a particularly strict father as he will give in to almost anything his girls ask for.
He said: “It’s really hard to have boundaries because you just do anything they say. Like, anything they’ll say!”
Ryan previously admitted it can be “tough” having two children under the age of two.
He said: “[Having] two [kids] under two is tough.
“Yeah a lot of oestrogen. It’s like an American Girl doll took a s**t on my life.”

Jessica Chastain considering career break

OHMYGOSSIP — Jessica Chastain is considering taking a break from acting.
The ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ actress insists she is “content” with her career, but is ready for a “change” in her life and the chance to do something else.
She said: “I feel like something’s happening. I feel like a change will soon happen in my life. Maybe I won’t act for a few years. I’m happy, I’m content, but I could do something else for a bit.”
But Jessica – who has been in a relationship with Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo since 2012 – refused to be drawn on whether her comments mean she is ready to have children.
Speaking to Net-A-Porter’s The Edit magazine, she said: “I want people to be more interested in my work than my personal life. I want to disappear into the characters I’m playing and not have the audience say, ‘Oh, she’s going through a divorce right now.’ ”
In the near future, the 39-year-old actress is looking forward to spending Christmas with her boyfriend.
She said: “I have two weeks off from filming and we’re just going to go to Italy, drink wine, eat pasta and sleep all the time. Heaven.”
When she was younger, the ‘Help’ star was desperate to change her distinctive red hair.
She admitted: “I didn’t like looking different. Being a redhead, you can’t fit into the group. I wanted to be blonde so bad.
“I had really bad self-esteem and I asked my mom if I could dye my hair but she wouldn’t let me.”
But these days, Jessica embraces her differences.
She said: “I called my company Freckle Films because it was something I used to hate about myself. But I want to make movies about our differences as a society so that’s why I called it that. Now, I celebrate it.”

Reba McEntire is looking for love

OHMYGOSSIP — Reba McEntire wants to fall in love again.
The 61-year-old singer divorced Narvel Blackstock in 2015 after 26 years together, but now she is moving forward and wants to find a new man to date.
She said: “I’m just kind of winging it and taking it one day at a time and loving life, enjoying being with my friends and family as much as I can.
“I think it’s always nice to have somebody to go to dinner with and fall in love with. I don’t see anything wrong with that at all.”
The ‘Heart Won’t Lie’ singer credits her loved ones and also her faith from helping her through the breakdown of her marriage.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “God and my girlfriends. My family, work, staying busy, but being able to talk to God every day and say, ‘You gotta help me through this. I’m gonna give it all to you,’ and he did. He helped me through it.”
Despite her split from Narvel, Reba has stayed close to his son Brendan Blackstock and his wife Kelly Clarkson.
And the country music legend is looking forward to seeing the couple – who have kids River, two, and Remington, seven months, together – over the festive season.
She said: “I saw them at Thanksgiving and now I am getting to see them at Christmas.
“They are busy. She is really busy traveling a lot and she takes the kids with them all the time.”
Reba thinks 34-year-old Kelly – who is also stepmother to Brandon’s older kids, Savannah, 14, and Seth, 11 – is a great mother.
She said: “She is loving all the time, but she is a good mom and she laughs and makes them mind and says, ‘Oh no, girlfriend, you are not getting away with that! ‘Oh no, don’t look at me like that.’
“[She is] very saucy. She is hysterical with [her kids] and they are cute as a button.”

Sophie Turner promises Thrones excitement

OHMYGOSSIP — Sophie Turner has promised the new season of ‘Game of Thrones’ is “really exciting”.
The 20-year-old actress reprises her role as Sansa Stark in the upcoming seventh and penultimate series of the HBO fantasy drama series and thinks the 2017 episodes are setting things up for a “big conclusion”.
She said: “What overall excites me about this season is that main characters are coming together and it feels like things are ramping up.
“It’s really exciting and all feels like it’s coming to a big conclusion.”
After defeating her evil husband Ramsay Bolton and helping reclaim her family home of Winterfell last series, season seven will see Sansa more “in control” than she’s ever been and on a “power trip”, but that doesn’t mean things will go smoothly for Sophie’s alter ego.
She told Entertainment Weekly: “She’s seemingly in control for the first time – and it really suits her.
“She’s kind of having a bit of a power trip. But she’s also becoming more insecure, because there are threats to the power that she holds.”
The British beauty – who is rumoured to be dating Joe Jonas – recently admitted she isn’t ready for the popular show to end as it’s been such a big part of her life.
She said: “I’m probably sadder than you guys are. It’s been my life since I was 13, so I’m pretty sad about it.
“It’s crazy when the show finishes I’ll pretty much be the same age Kit [Harington] was when he started … which is crazy. I don’t know what I’m going to do with my life.”
Meanwhile, the ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ star previously admitted fame forced her to “grow up faster”.
She shared: “I definitely felt I had to grow up faster than I would have done. I’m very driven in terms of work, but I’m almost more playful and silly than my friends. I cling onto childhood.
“Having a cynical perspective is best; in this industry, there’s just a lot of rejection. We all have that mentality, where we know we’re expendable. We all just thought, this is a job. Try not to get fired.”

Ruby Rose stays friends with exes

OHMYGOSSIP — Ruby Rose is friends with all her exes.
The ‘Orange is the New Black’ actress recently rekindled her romance with The Veronicas singer Jess Origliasso – who she previously dated in 2008 – and while she didn’t find their reunion “weird”, she wouldn’t get back together with any of her other former partners.
She joked: “We just took an eight-year break. Is that unusual?”
She then added: “I’ve been such good friends with Jess, Lisa and Colleen, their mum, for the last eight years that it just doesn’t feel as weird as it should or sounds. She’s the cutest thing in the world…
“[But] I don’t imagine getting back together with any of my exes, and I’m friends with all of them, as well. The world is a very strange place.”
Ruby – who was previously engaged to Phoebe Dahl – appears in The Veronicas’ video for ‘On Your Side’ and is proud people think the clip is “important” and not just written it off as “sexy and saucy”.
She said: “People are writing some really awesome things about it that aren’t just, ‘That’s a sexy, saucy video.’ They’re actually saying, ‘It’s an important video.’
“Because a lot of popstars and boy bands and girl bands, they’ll have the heterosexual love interest and nobody blinks. Nobody talks about it. And then you put a same-sex relationship and suddenly it’s controversial and it’s raunchy.”
The 30-year-old actress identifies as gender fluid, and thinks it is “wonderful” that trans issues have become so “important” in the last few years.
She told 9Honey: “I think the conversation went from almost non existent to being on everybody’s mouths…
“Before I saw Laverne [Cox] in ‘Orange [is the New Black’], before I saw ‘Transparent’, before it became such a big thing, I just felt like it was LGB and the T was completely silent.
“In the last two years it’s become such an important topic and I think that’s wonderful.”

Nick Cannon thrilled to be a dad again

OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Cannon thinks become a father for the third time is “outstanding”.
The ‘America’s Got Talent’ host – who already has five-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey – is thrilled to be expecting a baby with former girlfriend Brittany Bell.
He gushed: “It’s outstanding. Honestly they say even in unexpected situations, you still embrace the beauty of bringing a life into this world, because that is what life is all about.”
The 36-year-old star recently spent Thanksgiving in Hawaii with his ex-wife and their twins because he feels it is important to put the kids first.
He told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “Yeah man, it’s all about the kids.”
Nick previously joked he was “doing the Lord’s work” when he confirmed Brittany is having his baby.
Asked about Brittany’s pregnancy, he said: “Who said it wasn’t mine?
“I’ve got a baby on the way … absolutely … God said be fruitful and multiply.
“I’m doing the Lord’s work … everybody get a baby! I’m passing them out.”
While he was open about his baby, Nick, played coy when asked about Mariah’s recent split from fiance James Packer.
After being told “Mariah’s available again”, he replied:
“Is she? You know better than me. Is she?”
And after he was then informed the couple have called off their engagement, Nick acted surprised and said: “Did they? I thought they was working it out.
“I’m on a need-to-know basis. As long as my kids are good…I don’t want to know none of that other stuff.”
Last month, Brittany – who is believed to be around six months pregnant – enjoyed a baby shower with her friends, including fellow former Miss USA contestants.
Sharing a photo of her pals touching her growing tummy, she wrote on Instagram: “A sweet moment of #celebration with a few of the many incredible women in my life. Missing the rest of you.
“Miss USA /Miss Universe not only puts you in a rare sisterhood no money can buy.. but your child ends up with some of the most naturally beautiful, sweetest, and strongest women from around the country/world to call Aunties!!(sic)”

Selena Gomez gave up mobile phone

OHMYGOSSIP — Selena Gomez recently spent three months without her mobile phone.
The ‘Come and Get It’ hitmaker – who admitted herself to rehab earlier this year in order to treat the mental illness that was brought on as a result of her battle with autoimmune disease lupus – admits it was “refreshing and rejuvenating” not having to communicate with the device very often, and even now she is still restricting its use.
She said: “I recently took 90 days off. During that time I did not have my cellphone. It was the most refreshing, calming, rejuvenating feeling. Now I rarely pick up my phone, and only limited people have access to me.”
And the 24-year-old star may prove very difficult to get hold of as she admitted she doesn’t use email either.
She told Thrive Global: “I don’t [deal with email]. I do better over the phone!”
Before she took time out of the spotlight, Selena admits she was feeling “burned out”.
Asked when she last felt burned out, she said: “Three months ago, before I took a hiatus to take care of myself.”
The ‘Hands to Myself’ star recently returned to the public eye at the American Music Awards, where she spoke frankly about her struggles and how “broken” she felt.
Speaking on stage, she said: “I think it’s safe to say most of you know my life whether I liked it or not. And I had to stop, because I had everything and I was absolutely broken inside, and I kept it all together enough to where I would never let you down, but I kept it too much together to where I let myself down.
“I don’t want to see your bodies on Instagram. I want to see what’s in here. I’m not trying to get validation, nor do I need it anymore …
The brunette beauty went on to say how “grateful” she is to her “loyal” fans and how much she “cares” about them.
She continued: “All I can say from the bottom of my heart is I’m so grateful that I have the opportunity to be able to share what I love every single day with people that I love, and I have to say thank you so much to my fans, because you guys are so damn loyal, and I don’t know what I did to deserve you. But if you are broken, you do not have to stay broken.
“That’s one thing you should know about me: I care about people. And this is for you.”

Eric Idle: Terry Jones is 'still here'

OHMYGOSSIP — Eric Idle says Terry Jones is “still here” despite his battle with dementia.
It was revealed in September that the 74-year-old comedian is battling with primary progressive aphasia – a type of dementia that affects the ability to talk – but his ‘Monty Python’ co-star thinks his condition is harder for his friend’s loved ones to deal with than for Terry himself.
Speaking to the Radio Times magazine, Eric, 73, said: “It doesn’t seem to me that he’s unhappy.
“I think it’s harder for people around them than for the person. He hasn’t forgotten who he is, yet. It hasn’t got to that point. Terry’s still here, he hasn’t gone.”
And Eric says he and the other surviving members of the famous comedy troupe, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, and Michael Palin, have known about Terry’s debilitating condition for some time.
The gang even helped Terry “get through” their live shows at London’s O2 Arena in 2014.
Eric said: “We said, ‘Look, Terry, don’t worry, we’re going to get you through this.
“We’re all in this together.”
Eric also claimed Terry – who also directed movies including ‘Monty Python’s Life of Brian’ and ‘Monty Python’s Meaning of Life’ – was “having trouble stringing together sentences” during the live shows, and is happy he’s since gone public with the news of his condition.
He added: “He was on stage there, but he was having trouble stringing sentences together and it was becoming noticeable – so I’m glad they came out with it and acknowledged his illness in public.”
Meanwhile, co-star Michael Palin, 73, previously said Terry’s decline in health had been “painful to watch”.
He wrote on Facebook: “Terry J has been my close friend and workmate for over fifty years. The progress of his dementia has been painful to watch and the news announced yesterday that he has a type of aphasia which is gradually depriving him of the ability to speak is about the cruellest thing that could befall someone to whom words, ideas, arguments, jokes and stories were once the stuff of life.”

Denzel Washington: Fences isn't about race

OHMYGOSSIP — Denzel Washington insists ‘Fences’ isn’t a story about race.
The 61-year-old actor directs and stars as former professional baseball player Troy Maxson in the upcoming drama movie, and says that despite the feature’s primarily black casting, the film features subject matters that are universal to anyone, regardless of their ethnicity.
Asked by The Hollywood Reporter what insights into black lives ‘Fences’ gives to white Americans, Denzel said: “It could be that it’s not that different. Circumstances, no matter what the colour is, could be similar. Troy’s whole [resentment of his lack of success as a baseball player] … was it his colour or was he just too old? I think he was just too old regardless of his colour. Or, as his friends said, ‘He just come along too early.'”
‘Fences’ – which was adapted from a play written by August Wilson that premiered in 1985 – tells the story of Troy when he creates tension in family after denying his teenage son’s dream of playing football and comes home with the baby he had through an affair, and Denzel says the story is still relevant 30 years later as “it could happen to anyone”.
He said: “The circumstances, again, are universal. It could happen to anyone. I don’t know if it’s more political now given the election or whatever, but it’s a long way from Troy to now because now we’re post-Obama even.”
Previously, Hollywood attempted to get ‘Fences’ made with a white director, but playwright August refused as he said the director needed to have an understanding of black culture, something which Denzel agrees with.
He added: “[Martin] Scorsese probably could have directed ‘Schindler’s List’ and [Steven] Spielberg probably could have directed ‘Goodfellas’.
“But it’s as much to do with the difference in culture as it is with race. We know what hair smells like when a hot comb hits it. That’s a cultural thing.
“We know what that smells like on Sunday mornings, usually church-related or something. In my house, it was getting ready for church and your sister was getting her hair fried.”

Gigi Hadid 'honoured' to know Adriana Lima

OHMYGOSSIP — Gigi Hadid is “honoured and grateful” to know and work with Adriana Lima.
The 21-year-old model rushed to praise the brunette beauty for her the help she’s given her in the runway world after she strutted alongside the 35-year-old long-time Angel in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Paris, France, on Wednesday (30.11.16).
Taking to her Instagram account after the show, she uploaded a photograph of her and Adriana in their skimpy lingerie sets alongside the caption: “Words can’t describe this woman’s powerful heart and spirit. She continues to lead the group with empowering confidence, grace, and infectious enthusiasm. I’m so honored and grateful to know and work with you @adrianalima!! Thank you for your love and support (sic).”
This is the second time Gigi has walked in the iconic event, which was held in the French capital for the first time ever in the show’s history, and clearly felt right at home as she giggled backstage with her best friend Kendall Jenner and sister Bella Hadid.
And it seems Gigi is already passing on Adriana’s tips and tricks, as Bella, 20, admitted the blonde beauty helps her feel less anxious and helps her on catwalk.
Bella said before the show yesterday: “It’s amazing; she’s really my comfort zone and my comfort blanket, so to be able turn around and to be able to talk to her, it really grounds me and makes me a little less nervous to have my best friend with me.
“She’ll always give me her honest opinion about everything – she watched my rehearsal yesterday. She’s always right there with me, so it calms me a little bit … I’m just trying to get out there and be confident and work it as hard as I possibly can. I’ll try to channel Beyoncé. I don’t know, I’ll just try to be myself and go out there and try and kill it.”

will.i.am: Naomi Campbell is the queen of fashion

OHMYGOSSIP — will.i.am says Naomi Campbell is the “queen of fashion”.
The 41-year-old musician recently teamed up with legendary supermodel for the launch of his new Bluetooth earphone brand Buttons, and whilst he believes Naomi, 46, is top of the pile when it comes to the catwalk he thinks young pretender Kendall Jenner is the “princess” of the business.
Speaking to #legend magazine, the ‘Scream & Shout’ singer said: “Because I was a part of Beats and that success, when I started this company, I wanted to make sure I had other folks I can bounce ideas off and can consult and help make some noise. We’re so blessed to have them as a part of this … Naomi is the queen of fashion and Kendall is the princess.”
And the Buttons brand isn’t the only time will.i.am has worked with the 21-year-old Kendall either, as she featured in the video for the remake of Black Eyed Peas’ 2003 single ‘Where Is The Love?’.
The song – originally made by will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie – features new vocals from the likes of Justin Timberlake, Jamie Foxx, Ty Dolla $ign, Mary J. Blige, Diddy, Cassie, Andra Day, The Game, Tori Kelly, V. Bozeman, Jessie J, French Montana, DJ Khaled, Usher, Nicole Scherzinger, ASAP Rocky and Jaden Smith and the video featured the brunette beauty alongside the likes of Usher, Foxx and Jessie J.
The decision to remake the single comes after a year of tragedy following events such as the Orlando, Paris and Belgium shootings, as all proceeds will go to the rapper’s i.am.angel foundation to raise money to stop violence in America.
Speaking in a promotional video for the re-release, will.i.am said: “My grandma said a prayer and said that we shouldn’t stay home and be afraid when you’re being called on to do as much healing as you can with the gift that was given to us.”
Meanwhile, will.i.am’s partnership with Kendall comes as he says it is his goal to “turn strangers into friends”.
Asked what advice his mother gave him, the ‘Feelin’ Myself’ hitmaker said: “My mom taught me to turn strangers into friends and friends into family.”

Lady Gaga thanks VS Angels for treating her like 'family'

OHMYGOSSIP — Lady Gaga has thanked the Victoria’s Secret Angels for treating her “like family” in the run-up and during the iconic fashion show in Paris on Wednesday (30.11.16).
The 30-year-old singer wowed the crowd at the Grand Palais in France as she performed three songs from her new album ‘Joanne’ and, although she was overwhelmed with the support she got from the spectators, she is so grateful to the catwalk models for taking her under their wings and making her feel at home.
Taking to her Twitter account after the lingerie extravaganza wrapped, she uploaded a photograph of herself in a sexy silver two-piece set created by the luxurious lingerie brand.
She tweeted: “Couple bruises from dance rehearsal but love rocking this silver VS! Thank you to the Angels for treating me like family! #VSFashionShow (sic).”
The blonde bombshell proved she’d struck up a close bond with the girls – consisting of the likes of Kendall Jenner, Taylor Hill, Gigi Hadid and Adriana Lima – as she strutted down the catwalk with the bevy of beauties in a series of outfits and danced with them as she belted out her tracks ‘A-YO’, ‘John Wayne’ and ‘Million Reasons’.
Prior to the glitzy event, Gaga – whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta – couldn’t resist getting ready with the models as she threw on the famous pink satin robe and got her hair and make-up done by the glam squad backstage.
As her long light locks were gently tousled by the stylist, Gaga chucked her leg up on the vanity as she posed for an impromptu photo shoot in her seductive lingerie.
Once her look was complete, the ‘Bad Romance’ hitmaker gathered the models together behind the scenes as they taught her how to walk the catwalk properly.
The models then broke out into a hip-swiveling dance as ‘Million Reasons’ blasted through the speakers while the cameras captured their backstage shenanigans.
Gaga – who was the headline act – wasn’t the only musician to perform at the famous show, as she was joined on stage by The Weeknd and Bruno Mars later in the evening.

Jennifer Aniston misses world of Friends before social media

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Aniston yearns for the world ‘Friends’ was set in – before the explosion of social media.
The 47-year-old actress starred as Rachel Green for 10 years in the US sitcom set in the 90s about six pals which became a global TV phenomenon.
Many of the show’s scenes were set in New York City coffee shop Central Perk and focused on Rachel chatting to her friends – Monica Geller (Courteney Cox), Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry), Joey Tribiani (Matt LeBlanc) and Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) – and Aniston admits she misses that decade when people weren’t constantly staring at their smart phones and actually took the time to talk to one another.
When asked about the possibility of a ‘Friends’ ever happening, she mused: “Honestly I don’t know what we would do, I think that period of time was nostalgic, our faces weren’t stuffed into cell phones, we weren’t checking Facebook and Instagram, we were in a room together, we were in a coffee shop talking having conversations, we have lost that.”
Aniston – who is married to actor-and-screenwriter Justin Theroux – has been vocal in recent times about the need for women to support each other in all walks of life.
And the ‘Office Christmas Party’ star hopes one change that will happen in Western society is that the b****ing and judging between females will stop.
Speaking on UK TV show ‘Lorraine’, she said: “We’re seeing women through that very narrow lens of what we’re reduced down to … if we don’t have a baby, or white picket fence, or a husband then we’re useless and we aren’t living up to our purpose … Women need to be (kinder), it’s true … It’s shocking to me that we’re not changing the conversation [as women] in support, we’ve come so far.”
