Kanye West wants to be spoken to like a four year old

OHMYGOSSIP — Kanye West wants people to talk to him like a four year old.
The 39-year-old rapper – who has children North, three, and Saint, 11 months, with wife Kim Kardashian West – thinks business should be “stupider”, and when it comes to cutting a deal, he isn’t interested in compromising because it would damage his art.
He said: “I think business has to be stupider.
I want to do really straightforward, stupid business — just talk to me like a four-year-old. And I refuse to negotiate. I do not negotiate. I can collaborate. But I’m an artist, so as soon as you negotiate, you’re being compromised.”
The ‘Famous’ hitmaker hates “chit-chat” and would far rather get straight down to business than engage in polite conversation and small talk first.
In an interview with Surface magazine, he said: “I can’t stand this whole ‘How was your day?’ thing that agents always say.
“I’m like, You don’t care about my day. Why’d you ask me about my day? Did we get done what we were supposed to get done?”
While he’s known for his outspoken ways and Twitter rants, Kanye would much rather communicate through sign language and emojis than actual written or spoken words.
He said: “I don’t think people are going to talk in the future. They’re going to communicate through eye contact, body language, emojis, signs. Imagine that. If everyone was forced to learn sign language.
“When I was a kid, I’d see people who only spoke sign language and think, Wow, that’s gotta be difficult. I was really happy I could speak. Now, I would prefer to [sign], do that without having to use words. It’s funny because I’ve made a living off of words, but words get in the way of what you really want to say.
“[I’d rather use] sign language, eye contact. Or thank God for emojis. So often one emoji goes a long way and lets me get on with my whole day.”

Kris Jenner excited to be at grandkids' births

OHMYGOSSIP — Kris Jenner was “really emotional” at Dream Kardashian’s birth.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star has been in the delivery room for all six of her grandchildren, including son Rob and his fiance’s little girl, who was born earlier this month, daughter Kourtney Kardashian and ex-partner Scott Disick’s kids Mason, six, Penelope, four, and Reign, 23 months, and Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West’s two kids North, three, and Saint, 11 months.
And Kris has found it “so exciting” being there when the kids were born.
She said: “It’s always so exciting when your baby has a baby so it was really great.
“It’s really emotional. Like you can’t believe that this is happening. To see a baby being born and in my case, I’ve been there for six of my grandchildren’s births so it’s quite something.”
While Dream isn’t even two weeks old yet, Kris – who thinks the tot’s name is “pretty” – insists the youngster is “great” and not causing her parents many problems.
She told E! News: “She’s such a great baby though. She’s been really calm and really sweet so they are very lucky.”
The 61-year-old momager – who also has daughters Khloe Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner – is now preparing for Thanksgiving with her family, and says they will all pitch in when it comes to making dinner.
She said: “I love my sweet potato soufflé recipe and I shared it numerous times. It’s in my cookbook so many families now have it as their family tradition because it’s so yummy.
“We’re all going to be cooking this year so it’s kind of a labour of love and we’re excited.”

Iggy Azalea's insane life

OHMYGOSSIP — Iggy Azalea thinks people would view her as “insane” if she had a “regular” life.
The 26-year-old rapper insists being normal is quite “weird” but believes the perception of what is or isn’t ordinary behaviour is influenced by the context.
She said: “It’s weird to be normal now, right? There are varying degrees of normality depending on your level of insanity and environment. I’d be classified as normal for the environment I’m in but if you threw me into regular life, I may seem insane.”
The ‘Fancy’ rapper left her native Australia to launch her music career in the US when she was 16 and she insists she doesn’t miss her home country, nor does she understand why people get offended when she says that.
Speaking to Australia’s GQ magazine, she said: “Of course I like Australia, but I don’t know why people get so offended as it’s not my home. I don’t miss Australia, not because there aren’t great things about it.
“Emigrating when you’re a kid is a defining moment of your life, where you’re about to become an adult. That shapes you, I doubt you really understand the feeling.”
Iggy recently admitted she doesn’t have any “home connection” to Australia any more.
She said: “I mean, to be honest with you, my home is in America. I’ve lived there for a decade, that’s where I live. It’s great to come back and visit my grandparents, but there is no home connection. It would be like you going home to where you lived when you were nine, I kind of don’t associate with that anymore.”

Robbie Williams hates his hairy Rudebox

OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams hates his hairy butt cheeks.
The ‘Party Like A Russian’ singer says as he’s gotten older the follicles on his bum have grown thicker and longer and he has become a “hairy dad”.
Robbie was told by his stylist that the trouser area hair could be removed with a good “cut-throat” razor but he can’t reach around to his fuzzy peach and he is loathed to make his wife Ayda Field shear his rear so he opted for a crack wax which he is no hurry to repeat due to the pain involved.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph Australia, he over-shared: “I’m a hairy dad. I can’t reach it myself and I don’t really want Ayda to do it. I did the crack (wax) thing and I did not like that. It was horrendous.”
Despite his reluctance to impose the grim grooming regime on his wife, Robbie and Ayda – who have been married since 2010 – have a very honest and open relationship and are the same with their two children, daughter Teddy, four, and two-year-old Charlton, together.
The 42-year-old pop star is enjoying every aspect of fatherhood but he is looking forward to when his kids get older and he can embarrass them.
Robbie – who appeared on the final of ‘The X Factor Australia’ at the weekend to sing with finalist Davey Woder – said: “At some point I can put my foot down and go full embarrassment … I probably will be like, ‘OK, you think I’m embarrassing by just being me, check this s**t out.’ I will get competitive with my embarrassment.”

Ruby Rose had instant reconnection with Jess Origliasso

OHMYGOSSIP — Ruby Rose “knew” she was still in love with Jess Origliasso as soon as she saw her.
The ‘Orange is the New Black’ star initially dated the Veronicas singer in 2008, and they rekindled their romance when the 30-year-old actress offered to write, direct and appear in the group’s new music video for ‘On Your Side’.
And it didn’t take long for Ruby to realise she was still in love with her former flame.
She said: “Probably the second I saw her [I knew]
“It definitely wasn’t planned. it just came out of nowhere. and it was a really delightful thing to happen.”
And Ruby’s romance has been given the seal of approval by her close friend Taylor Swift.
She told news.com.au: “I talk to her [Taylor] about everything and everyone.”
The Australian actress can next be seen in ‘xXx Return of Xander Cage’ and she had a great time working alongside Vin Diesel, who plays the titular character in the action saga.
She gushed: “Vin is everything.
“He’s the softest … he’s like a teddy bear. I knew that doing the film with him would be an exceptional amount of fun, but I didn’t realise how much fun.
“It was beyond expectations. I’m like, that’s not really a job!”
Ruby got her big break playing Stella Carlin in Netflix series ‘Orange Is The New Black’ and admits she was intimidated when she first joined the popular show as she was such a big fan of the programme.
She said: “I was definitely nervous because everyone was so familiar to me, and yet of course I didn’t know them.
“I was wondering if I’d be the outcast, but they were just the best teachers in everything.”
And though she spent years trying to land a job in Los Angeles before securing her breakthrough role, Ruby doesn’t mind people thinking of her as an overnight success as her stardom even seemed sudden to her.
She said: “It doesn’t annoy me — to the majority of the world, it must have felt like that.
“I wasn’t anywhere on their radar … and then ‘Orange’ came out, and I was everywhere.
“To have my first role be such a big one, and on such an enormous TV show, and to be so well-received. Even I was like, ‘did that just happen?!'”

Mel B 'never' slept with Robbie Williams!

OHMYGOSSIP — Mel B claims she’s the only member of the Spice Girls that hasn’t slept with Robbie Williams.
The 41-year-old singer – full name Melanie Brown – admitted her pal apologised to her after previously claiming he had bedded four out of the five members of the group, which also included Mel C, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, and Geri Horner.
Speaking on ‘The Kyle and Jackie O Show’ on Australian radio station KIIS FM, Mel said: “He actually publicly apologised to me for all that mess… saying he had apparently gotten it on with all five Spice Girls. He wishes!
“I was the one he never did.
“He’s a friend of mine… Yuck! He had been with my friends – I don’t want sloppy seconds.”
Robbie, 42, previously claimed he had “been in” four of the five Spice Girls, but later insisted his comments were a joke that had gone too far.
He said: “I told a joke a long time ago. And it sort of got out of hand. You know ‘Back For Good’ the Take That song, I used to sing that on stage.
“I still do. On one particular tour before it I introduced it by saying ‘I am very fortunate to have been in Take That and four out of five of the Spice Girls.’
“That was my intro to the song and it was a joke and the joke went too far.”
And the ‘Party Like a Russian’ hitmaker – who has children Teddy, four, and Charlton, two, with wife Ayda Field – then apologised to the girls and their partners.
He added: “I would like to apologise to all the Spice Girls involved and their husbands and boyfriends. I know a few husbands and boyfriends weren’t too happy with the joke.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Let Me Entertain You’ singer said in a previous interview that the joke has to “stop”.
He said: “It’s unfair on the girls, we’re all older now, we’ve all got children; The joke’s not funny anymore.
“When I’ve said something that hurts somebody, I feel really bad about it.”

Cheryl's travelling plan

OHMYGOSSIP — Cheryl wants to go travelling around Europe.
The ‘Call My Name’ hitmaker – who is rumoured to be expecting her first child with boyfriend Liam Payne – would love to take a break from the spotlight and go “learning and exploring”.
She said: “There are loads of places even in Europe I haven’t seen yet. It would be amazing to campervan around Europe.
“Sometimes you need that when you are still so noticeable, to have some you-time and still be learning and exploring.”
Though she has been working on new music herself, the former ‘X Factor’ judge is keen to step behind the scenes and move into talent management as she thinks she has a great ear for finding new artists.
She said: “I’d like to get into management, signing new artists myself.
“Away from ‘X Factor’, I love spotting talent. I can feel it, I can sense it and I get a buzz out of it.
“And doing TV work – not being on TV, but being involved and coming up with ideas.”
The 33-year-old beauty may have been working hard in the recording studio, but her fans won’t get to hear any new music from her until she is completely happy with her efforts.
She told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “I am working on new music and I have been for a while.
“I’m not going to release it until I am 100 per cent happy and I’m getting there, but it won’t be until next year.
“And I’ve been doing a lot with my charity. It has been amazing to have time to solely focus on that and achieve what needs to be done.”

Bob Dylan to give Nobel Prize lecture?

OHMYGOSSIP — Bob Dylan is likely to give his Nobel Prize lecture in Stockholm next year.
The 75-year-old singer was announced as the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature earlier this year, and although he won’t be attended the prize giving ceremony, he will have to give a lecture within six months in order to remain eligible for the award.
Now, the Swedish Academy – who will host the Nobel Prize ceremony on December 10 – have said the ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ songwriter will likely play a concert in the capital next year, and might give his lecture during the performance.
They said in a statement: “There is a chance that Bob Dylan will be performing in Stockholm next year, possibly in the spring, in which case he will have a perfect opportunity to deliver his lecture.”
The news comes after it was revealed last week that the ‘Blowin’ In The Wind’ hitmaker wouldn’t be able to make it to the prize giving ceremony due to “pre-existing commitments”, despite have previously said he would “absolutely” be in attendance.
In another statement, the Academy said: “Yesterday evening the Swedish Academy received a personal letter from Bob Dylan, in which he explained that due to pre-existing commitments, he is unable to travel to Stockholm in December and therefore will not attend the Nobel Prize Ceremony.
“He underscored, once again, that he feels very honoured indeed, wishing that he could receive the prize in person.”
Meanwhile, Dylan took two weeks to accept his nomination for the prize, leading one Academy member to call him “impolite and arrogant” when he failed to return their calls.
When the star finally addressed his win, he said: “Absolutely [I will go to the ceremony]. If it’s at all possible.
“It’s hard to believe. [It’s] amazing, incredible. Whoever dreams about something like that?”

Perrie Edwards: It's weird people think I'm sexy

OHMYGOSSIP — Perrie Edwards finds it “weird” that people think she’s a sex symbol.
The 23-year-old singer and her Little Mix bandmates, Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, have reinvented their image since they began their career on ‘The X Factor’ in 2011 transforming themselves into sexually confident young women.
Although Perrie and the girls are now pin-ups for many guys, she can’t think of herself in that way.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, the blonde beauty said: “I find it weird when boys fancy us now. My brother works in an office and all the men there have desktop backgrounds of us wearing whatever. One time he went to the toilet and came back to find all of us in bikinis on his desktop.
“The lads take the p**s out of him but they are like, ‘Sorry but your sister’s fit and you need to get over it because we love them.’ ”
Jade, also 23, added: “My dad’s friends say their sons have posters of us in their bedrooms, it’s weird.”
Leigh-Anne, 25, admits she gets very embarrassed when her dad sees photos of her dressed in revealing outfits in the media.
She said: “It’s worst when you are wearing a thong on the front of a newspaper and your dad has got to read it.”
Little Mix were criticised for the racy outfits they wore for their performance of their hit single ‘Shout Out to My Ex’ on ‘The X Factor’ in October but Perrie has confessed her father was less than impressed with her choice of outfit for a previous appearance on the talent show.
She shared: “We did another ‘X Factor’ performance and my dad texted us afterwards, ‘Where the f**k did you get that outfit from? ‘Did you borrow it from a 12-year-old gymnast?’ ”

Harper Beckham starts ballet training

OHMYGOSSIP — Harper Beckham has started training at the English National Ballet.
The five-year-old daughter of retired soccer player David Beckham and fashion designer Victoria Beckham has taken up dancing at the prestigious ballet school, where her 41-year-old dad takes her every week.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “David and Victoria have entered Harper into the English National Ballet. She goes every week and David takes her to training himself and hangs out with the other dads there. It’s really sweet.
“Harper is of the age now where she is trying loads of different things but she really loves going to ballet.
“There really is no better place for her to learn than the English National Ballet. It’s up there with the most distinguished ballet schools in the world. Both David and Victoria love watching her perform and helping her practise too.”
The news comes after 42-year-old Victoria – who also has three sons, 17-year-old Brooklyn, 14-year-old Romeo, and 11-year-old Cruz, with her husband – previously expressed concerns that none of her children wanted to follow in her fashion footsteps.
She said: “[Harper] loves fashion, you know, as all little girls do . . . but she loves sports. She said to me the other day ‘Mummy, I think I want to play football.’
“Dagger through the heart! I have three boys that want to play football, you know, come on, let one of them want to be into fashion or dance.”
And Harper doesn’t have to worry about making friends at ballet school, as former Spice Girl Victoria previously claimed her daughter was “very sociable” and made friends easily.
She said: “[Harper] works very hard at school and is very sociable, so has a lot of friends. She has a better social life than I do! My children are all very happy and that’s the most crucial thing – they are happy, confident and secure in themselves.”

Cara Delevingne's emotional dog picture

OHMYGOSSIP — Cara Delevingne nearly broke down in tears when she was given a picture of her dead dog.
The 24-year-old model was presented with a digitally-made portrait of her late French Bulldog Mouse by celebrity artist Perspektiv, and he admitted the star almost got emotional when she saw the artwork.
He wrote on Instagram: “Got to chill with a great friend @caradelevingne right before she opened @hm
“She almost cried too cause of her Dog (sic)”
Cara’s pet pooch sadly passed away two years ago and the star took to her Instagram to pay tribute to the cute canine.
She wrote: “RIP Mouse Delevingne!! I miss you so much!! Hope your running wild and free somewhere (sic)”
Cara hit the headlines in August over another of her pooches, husky Leo, after animal lovers were reportedly upset about the mutt having a pepper spray training collar.
The anti-barking devices give off citronella sprays when a dog’s bark reaches a certain level.
Lynn Barber, the training and behaviour manager for Dogs Trust charity, said at the time: “At the Dogs Trust we don’t recommend the use of any adverse technique or equipment for any kind of behaviour issue.
“You have to find out the cause of the dog’s behaviour rather than punish it.”
Cara is a huge fan of her pet and even took him to London in August for the press tour of her latest movie ‘Suicide Squad’.
But it’s not just dogs she has a penchant for, the star recently had a skeletal snake tattooed on her hand.

Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharoah impersonate Donald Trump at the AMAs

OHMYGOSSIP — Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharoah impersonated Donald and Melania Trump at the American Music Awards (AMAs) on Sunday (20.11.16)
The 21-year-old model and the actor – who is known for his impersonations – took to the stage as hosts of the glitzy award ceremony in Los Angeles, and couldn’t resist mentioning the Republican candidate who won the race to the White House earlier this month, and his wife Melania.
Gigi kicked off the impersonations, putting on her best accent for Slovenian native Melania, and saying: “I love my husband, President Barack Obama. And our children, Sasha and Malia.”
Jay, 29, later took on the role of Donald, saying: “I love Bruno Mars. I don’t know what colour he is so I can’t deport him. Everyone look, he looks like Mowgli from ‘The Jungle Book’. He does. I love ‘Uptown Funk’. It was all totally about me, it was originally called ‘Uptown Trump’.”
And that wasn’t the only time the presenting duo mentioned the presidential election, as Jay noted that having a white president was like “90s all over again”.
Gigi said: “A Tribe Called Quest has a new album, Jenny McCarthy is here…”
And Jay cut in: “Green Day is performing, and a white guy is the president. It’s the ’90s all over again!”
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty changed her outfit five times over the course of the night, after the team behind previous host Jennifer Lopez’s whopping 15 outfits told her to “do less changes”.
She said on the red carpet before the event: “We did our research and J.Lo’s team told us to do less changes. I’m going with about half but they’re great looks, and they’re going to get a good amount of time.”
And the awards were a personal affair for the model too, as her boyfriend Zayn Malik took home the award for New Artist of the Year, his first AMA since leaving One Direction.

Rob Kardashian's baby shower apology

OHMYGOSSIP — Rob Kardashian felt “terrible” about ruining his own baby shower.
The ‘Rob & Chyna’ star sparked family drama in September when he decided to shun a celebration his siblings had organised for him as he mistakenly believed his fiancee Blac Chyna – who gave birth to their daughter Dream earlier this month – wasn’t invited, and even tweeted his youngest half-sister, Kylie Jenner’s phone number in revenge.
But he didn’t realise Chyna had spoken to his family and suggested they had a celebration just for him, prompting him to send a huge bouquet of balloons by way of an apology to his mother Kris Jenner a few days later.
And when asked about his overreaction in scenes which aired on ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ on Sunday (20.11.16) night, he said: “Pretty much it was a misunderstanding and I thought you guys were trying to be shady and only surprise me and not include her, so I took it offensively and obviously didn’t show up.
“I wanted it to be about both of us…it should be about the woman that’s birthing the baby just as much…it’s both of us..
“I just took it the wrong way, it’s my bad and it’s all good and I love you guys and thank you for this.
“Of course I feel terrible that the shower that they planned for me got ruined. Sometimes when Chyna and I aren’t doing so well I let it get the best of me and I need to work on that. I’m super excited to be having this baby, it’s something that I’ve always wanted.”
Earlier in the episode, after Rob called Kim Kardashian West to tell her he wouldn’t be at the baby shower, the 36-year-old beauty – who has children North, three, and Saint, 11 months, with husband Kanye West – insisted she had “had it” with “tip toeing” around her 29-year-old brother.
She fumed: “I mean this is crazy, Rob is accusing us of not being supportive of him and Chyna and all we’re doing is trying to be supportive.
“And we’re trying to just do whatever he wants. We thought he wanted a shower with her, then we thought he didn’t want the shower with her, so we tried to do it for him and then he gets mad and doesn’t show up.”

Ciara chooses baby name

OHMYGOSSIP — Ciara and Russell Wilson have chosen their baby name.
The 31-year-old singer – who already has son Future, two, with ex-fiance Future – revealed last month she and her NFL player husband are having a child together, and she has now admitted they know whether they’re expecting a boy or a girl, but she doesn’t want to tell anyone.
She said: “I do know [if it’s a boy or a girl]. I’m not telling, not yet, but I’m very excited.”
Asked if they’ve chosen a name, she added: “We’ve already done that actually.”
And the ‘Goodies’ singer and Russell, 27, aren’t the only ones excited about the new addition to their family as little Future “can’t wait” to be a big brother.
Ciara told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “He rubs my belly and he says, ‘Hi baby. I love you, baby,’ … and then he puts my shirt down and says, ‘Bye, bye baby.’ So, that’s his own thing.
“He sees a baby walking, smaller than him and walking — it doesn’t matter, it’s a baby. So, he goes, ‘baby’ and he looks at me and he goes, ‘Mama, baby’ – and he tries to pull my sweatshirt up.”
After struggling with feeling nauseous in the first few months of her pregnancy, Ciara is thankful to be feeling “really good” now.
Debuting her bump for the first time at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (20.11.16), she said: “I’m feeling really good, the first few months were a bit tough for me.
“Well, not tough, but a bit more like, I didn’t throw up last time and this time I haven’t thrown up but I’ve had that in between feeling where I don’t wanna throw up, I can’t throw up but I’m not normal and that’s even more torture.
“I’m like can we find the rhythm here? What do I eat, what do I drink?
“I’m now in that place where I’m not feeling that feeling and I’m not that tired so it’s good.”

Niall Horan would be 'lost' without fans

OHMYGOSSIP — Niall Horan would be a “lost soul” without his fans.
The 23-year-old singer was excited to perform at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (20.11.16) evening and though he admitted it was strange being away from his One Direction bandmates at an awards show for the first time, he wasn’t too worried because he knew there’d be some welcoming faces watching.
Speaking on the red carpet at the Microsoft Theater, he said: “I’m looking forward to this. This is a show that [One Direction] had success at back in previous years, and had some good performances and had some great nights at, and I’m looking forward to making a few more memories…
“If you didn’t have the fans in there, I would be a lost soul. It’s great though. [1D] got to perform in front of such great crowds, and this [solo] one will be no different, I imagine.”
Though Niall admitted it was “different” attending the glamorous bash on his own, he was still enjoying himself without Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson by his side.
He told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “That’s the thing I been asked a lot today.
“It’s obviously different, buts it’s different because there’s no one else around, but I’ve been enjoying it so far, the performances that I’ve done and it’s been fun and yeah I just really enjoyed it.”
And the ‘This Town’ singer was looking forward to catching up with former bandmate Zayn Malik – who quit the group in March 2015 – as they haven’t spoken “in a few months”.
He said: “I haven’t spoken to him in a few months or whatever, and haven’t seen him in a while, so I’m looking forward to seeing him.”
But Niall remains in regular contact with the rest of the ‘History’ group.
He told E! News: “I was talking to the boys recently, and yeah, we’re big on the e-mail chat the old e-mail thread. Everyone is great.
“Everyone is just kind of enjoying their time, you know, just chilling and doing their own bits and pieces.”

Prince honoured at the American Music Awards

“In the words of Prince: ‘With love, honour and respect for every living thing in the universe, separation ceases, and we all become one being, singing one song.'”
And Tyka was left in tears as she reached the end of her speech, saying that she and her half-siblings – Sharon Nelson, Norrine Nelson, John R. Nelson, Alfred Jackson, and Omarr Baker – will keep the award at Prince’s Paisley Park estate in memory of the iconic star.
