OHMYGOSSIP — Scooter Braun’s grandmother has died.
The heartbroken 35-year-old talent manager – whose clients include Justin Bieber and Usher – took to Instagram on Sunday (20.11.16) to share a touching tribute to the woman he refers to as “Ma”.
He wrote: “I don’t know where to start. This morning the world lost one of the great ones. There was no one like her. No one. She loved regardless of all the hate she witnessed in her life. She made everyone smile and she gave and gave and gave and never asked for anything but love in return. The world needed people like Ma more than ever right now. I won’t ever let her be forgotten. I will keep my promise. Yael and I promise our children will know her. I was so blessed to call myself your grandson. I love you Ma. Thank you. I will miss you so much. I’m afraid to stop typing because I just don’t want to admit you are gone. For all the lives touched by this hero you know you are better for it.”
But Scooter also revealed there was happiness amidst the tragedy as just three hours after his grandmother died, his brother Adam and wife Tehillah welcomed twins.
He added: “Like I said she was one of the greats…and in only Ma form 3 hours after she left us my brother Adam and his wife Tehillah brought their twins into the world. Classic…Ma always gave us twice as much as we expected. It is fitting. It just seems to make sense. I will miss you Ma. But I won’t forget you. Give a kiss to Apu for me. I love you. We love you. I will talk to you soon. I am so thankful for all that you taught me. Goodnight Ma. #thegreatest (sic).”
Scooter and his own wife Yael Cohen welcomed their first child, son Jagger Joseph Braun, into the world in February 2015 and are expecting a second baby together.

Kylie Jenner's racy birthday message for Tyga

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Jenner celebrated Tyga’s birthday with a racy picture of them together.
The 19-year-old reality TV star took to Instagram to share a topless picture of herself as she straddled the 27-year-old rapper and she captioned it, “happy birthday baby”.
She added another picture of them both in a similar pose and wrote: “Irreplaceable.”
Last week Kylie and Tyga’s son King Cairo, four, threw the rapper an early surprise birthday party and she shared a number of videos on Instagram.
One video showed King Cairo standing on the kitchen table surrounded by balloons, whilst the lip kit mogul held onto his waist for safety. As Tyga walked in the door, they started to sing him ‘Happy Birthday’, leaving the ‘Rack City’ hitmaker completely stunned.
Another featured Kylie handing Tyga a painted ornament of the word “dad”, made by the youngster.
Tyga said to his son in the video: “Aw thank you man! Gimme a high five, gimme a high five!”
King Cairo instead went in for a cuddle, before being picked up by his dad.
And Kylie spared no expense on the wide spread of food that was laid out for the ‘Ayo’ rapper, making sure to include some his favourite items such as fried chicken, and two separate cakes.
The rest of the night was spent playing around with Tyga’s son – whom he shares from his previous relationship to Blac Chyna, who is now engaged to Kylie’s half-brother Rob Kardashian – as one video captured the boy in a fabric tunnel toy, giggling and screaming as his dad went to catch him.

The star has a new album, ‘A Wonderful World’, but has not performed live in some time and is unsure when she will take to the stage again.
She said: “I haven’t performed live because I’ve been ill. The short answer is that it has been connected to my Asperger’s syndrome.
“When you sing, you put on a persona. I hide behind that person on stage. You can feel like death, but you have to put it on. The audience wants to see someone smiley.
“There are no firm dates for another tour. I’m taking baby steps. I’ve decided to record and see how it does first.
“Do a little at a time. Record, see how it does. Then build it up from there. When you have been ill, it’s a bit like a house. You rebuild the floor first.”

The ‘Birds’ actress has little interest or enjoyment in meals because there is no pleasure in it for hre after suffering damage in a fall over a decade ago.
She admitted: “I have no sense of taste or smell anymore, so I don’t care about food.
“I had two falls and hit my head in the same place, which affected my olfactory nerves. It was over 10 years ago.
“[I love chocolate] but that’s because I loved chocolate before.”
And the 86-year-old actress admitted her condition can be “dangerous” so she’s had all the gas-fuelled appliances removed from her home because she’d be unable to realise if there was a leak.
She added: “It’s dangerous having no smell though because I cant smell smoke. I’ve had all the gas appliances taken out of the house.”
Though some stars have spoken of their desire not to have their children follow in their footsteps, Tippi is overjoyed both her daughter Melanie Griffith and granddaughter Dakota Johnson have pursued the same career path.
Being interviewed by her famous granddaughter for Britain’s Vogue magazine, she said: “I think it’s fabulous that you and Melanie are actors. I didn’t suggest it to her, she just came home one day and said, ‘Mum, I’m going to be in a movie.’ ”
Dakota added: “I grew up on sets. I thought, this is their job, this is what my job will be.”
But the ‘Marnie’ star didn’t always want to be an actress.
She said: “I wanted to be a figure skater – there are 10,000 lakes in Minnesota – but my parents didn’t have enough money to send me to classes.
“I used to watch my friends’ lessons then go out to one of the little lakes in our neighbourhood and practise and practise.”

Ruth Wilson can't have unconventional romances

OHMYGOSSIP — Ruth Wilson can’t have a “conventional” relationship.
The ‘Affair’ actress’ career means she has to spend a lot of time away from home, which she thinks has an impact on her personal life and “limits her choices” of potential partners.
She said: “Any relationship you have will never be conventional, because you will always be away from home for a while.
“You just have to figure out with your partner how that works, they have to be very understanding or able to travel with you.
“It does limit your choices. But I wouldn’t live without [being in a relationship.”
The 34-year-old beauty spends a lot of her time in New York and though she loves the city, she dislikes the “bitchy and weird” all-female friendship groups she has encountered.
She said: “I’ve always had loads of men in my life, as my good friends.
“[New York has] gangs of girls that you don’t get in London at all.
“It felt bitchy and weird and I didn’t want to be part of it. It felt like being back at school.”
Ruth also hinted she dislikes the number of sex scenes incorporated into ‘The Affair’, insisting the tension between her character in ‘Luther’, Alice, and Idris Elba’s titular detective is much more exciting to watch.
She told Britain’s Marie Claire magazine: “If something is called ‘The Affair’, apparently people demand lots of sex scenes. Do you like watching sex scenes?
“[With ‘Luther’], you’ve never seen anything happen, they’ve never kissed, and the sexual tension is what is so exciting about it.”
And the British star admitted she initially found the subject matter tough to get her head around.
She said: “All my three brothers are married and have all got kids, and Mum and Dad are still together.”

Brad Pitt quit family meeting

OHMYGOSSIP — Brad Pitt reportedly “stormed out” of a meeting with his children.
The ‘Allied’ actor is said to be concerned his estranged wife Angelina Jolie is trying to turn their six kids – Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – against him and have even stopped calling him ‘daddy’.
And Kris Herzog, a bodyguard who works for both the family and Angelina’s father Jon Voight, admits the 52-year-old star’s two supervised visits with his brood have not gone well.
He said: “Brad is so angry. From what I’ve heard from Brad and Jon, even the kids are turning against him.
“He’s alleging they won’t even speak to him and they won’t call him Daddy or Father.
“They’ve had two meetings with Los Angeles family services and in both none of the kids would talk to him.
“He stormed out of the second one really angry, it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. This fight is going nuclear now.”
Kris has also claimed Brad has already moved on from Angelina and is secretly seeing someone else.
He said: “He’s started seeing another famous actress. She is a personal friend of mine and has told me they are sleeping together.
“I can’t disclose who it is but she is almost as big as Angelina.”
Despite the ‘Fury’ star’s frustration with his estranged spouse, he is unwilling to play dirty in their custody battle because he doesn’t want to upset the children further.
A source told Grazia magazine: “Angelina is not the saint she is making out to be and Brad has a lot of things he could say in response to all the mud-slinging that has come his way from her people.
“But he’s biting his tongue because the kids are his main interest and he never wanted to play dirty.
“Angelina still believes Brad is not fit to have joint custody and has hinted she’ll provide more evidence during their legal battle. She has no intention of letting those kids go.”

Nicole Scherzinger gets homesick

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Scherzinger struggles with homesickness.

“It’s about drinking a lot of water and getting a lot of sleep. It’s crazy what hot yoga or going on an amazing run will do. Anybody can always get that stuff done, but for me how I feel inside is a true reflection.”
And the brunette beauty recently admitted she is in a “very good place” in her personal life.
She shared: “I’m at a very good place now. I’m really happy. I don’t feel like there is any wall up or any tension or awkwardness. But that’s what’s so great with time and life and experience. What doesn’t break you or doesn’t kill you really only makes you stronger.
“I wasn’t shying away from anything. But I’m not taking any low digs or slaps at my past relationship because that’s just not who I am. Music speaks for itself and it’s open to interpretation for everyone. But everything I sing, I sing it from my piece of truth.”

Steven Tyler to receive Humanitarian Award

OHMYGOSSIP — Steven Tyler is to receive a Humanitarian Award for raising awareness of victims of abuse.
The Aerosmith singer will be honoured by the Hospitality Committee for United Nations Delegations for his work with Youth Villages, supported by his charity Janie’s Fund, which aims to give a voice to women who suffer abuse and neglect.
He said: “As a father to three daughters, a son, and, now a grandfather, it broke my heart to learn that each year in America alone 700,000 children are victims of serious abuse or neglect and 68,000 will be sexually abused. All abuse is wrong – verbal, physical, sexual, emotional.
“We need to have better ways as parents to help our children and support them. Way too many kids are experiencing abuse, and we want to change that. Enough is enough.
“I personally know how addiction can fracture lives. I don’t wish that on anyone. To use my voice and the voices of many others to help these girls once again find their voice is my mission.”
Whilst Mel Gee Henderson, the co-chair of the Hospitality Committee for United Nations Delegations (HCUND), added: “In choosing this year’s recipient, we searched diligently to find the humanitarian whose efforts are in harmony with the Secretary General, who will be saluted at this year’s Ambassadors’ Ball as his decade of UN leadership ends on December 31.
“We came to realise Steven Tyler is not only a gifted composer and musician with a great big voice but a soul with an even bigger heart who sincerely wants to help those suffering from the horrific pain of abuse.”
Chairman Luz MacArthur praised Tyler for being able to “inspire millions”.
She shared: “Tyler may seem an unexpected choice at first glance but the more we learned about Janie’s Fund, the more convinced we were that Tyler is the person who can genuinely affect and inspire millions to help in the fight against violence inflicted upon girls and women, not just in the United States but around the world.”

Mel B: I'm an 'underdog'

OHMYGOSSIP — Mel B sees herself as an “underdog”.
The former Spice Girls star is only happy to admit her own failures as she sees them as a “massive learning curve”.
She said: “I am an underdog. That is what makes my job more colourful and more comfortable for me because I have been through everything. I’ve had highs, I’ve had lows. I’ve been popular, I’ve been unpopular.
“I’ve had number ones, I’ve had number 100s. I’ve never not admitted my failures. Everything I’ve done, whether that be a failure to someone else, has actually been a massive learning curve for me, both professionally and personally.”
And the 41-year-old singer – who has Phoenix, 17 and Angel, nine, from past relationships and Madison, five, with her husband Stephen Belafonte – isn’t worried about working hard as it is what her parents did when she was growing up.
She added: “Of course I work hard. That is from my upbringing. My mum and dad are working-class people.
“They took on two and three jobs each. All my parents did was work their arses off to pay the bills, so it is kind of ingrained in me to work.”

She told BW magazine: “In this day and age in the entertainment world, you have to be an entrepreneur and a businesswoman. You are giving yourself.
“Everything I’ve either endorsed or am owner of company-wise, it has to make sense. It is not like back in the day where you got given a s******d of money just to be the face of, and take a picture.”

“[My parents] just had their 50th anniversary. I had to work really hard at marriage, all the time, like everybody, but ours was extra hard. When you add that we’re from different countries, both of us being in music, and celebrity.
“[Marriage] was the one thing I didn’t want to fail at. People can say whatever they want to about me … and I don’t get too affected. But I didn’t want them to think I was a failure. There’s nothing weird about how I felt.”

Describing her year, she shared: “Mind-blowing. I don’t understand my journey. It’s so crazy. But one thing I learned is, that’s what life is. We all have to go through hard times. Tragedies. Those are given to us to see what we’re going to do with them. How can we give back? How can we improve when we have these challenges?”

Olly Murs: I wasn't 'the perfect boyfriend'

OHMYGOSSIP — Olly Murs doesn’t think he was “the perfect boyfriend”.
The ‘Never Been Better’ hitmaker feels he may have been able to prevent his split from Francesca Thomas as he realises there may be times he let her down.
He confessed: “I wasn’t the perfect boyfriend – I might have caused arguments. When you have a year or so to reflect on a relationship, you realise when you’re away from someone actually I did let you down in some areas. I could have done things differently and maybe we wouldn’t be in the position that we’re in.”
And there is one particular song on his album that Olly, 32, hopes will inspire Francesca to take him back.
Talking about ‘Back Around’, he said: “This song, it’s me saying, ‘I let you down. I should have been a better boyfriend.’ I’m openly admitting that, and maybe if you bring your love back around, we could make this work.”
Asked if he thinks they could get back together one day, he told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Never say never but we’re living our own lives and we’ll see what happens. Francesca’s heard the album. It’s important for us to have this break.”
Meanwhile, Olly previously admitted he worries about being “old and grey” before he falls in love.
He shared: “For me the future is a bit uncertain, I don’t know where I’ll be, or who I’ll be with. I can’t not think about it. Finding that person, it’s hard. The one thing I don’t want is to be grey, old and never fall in love, and to never be with someone.
“My mates all have girlfriends, they need a visa to go on a night out with me, so I’m Billy No Mates. I really need Niall to stop recording his record and come out with me.”
