Isla Fisher: Filming Nocturnal Animals was 'harrowing'

OHMYGOSSIP — Isla Fisher couldn’t wait to finish shooting ‘Nocturnal Animals’.
The 40-year-old actress admits it was “emotionally draining” being on set as some of the scenes she had to shoot were so harrowing.
She told The Today Show: “I can’t even watch those scenes back! We shot in the Mojave Desert and it was a night shoot that lasted for a week and a half … You know, normally I end a movie and I miss everybody and I wanna stay forever; this, I was like, ‘See ya later!’
“It was just so emotionally draining to do that kind of material and have it look real. You have to really commit to it and it’s a physical element. This movie is really about emotional violence and not physical violence, but my scenes, which are basically fictitious – they’re from a book that Amy Adams’ character is reading – it’s still, it’s just a lot; it was a lot to take on.”
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty – who has Olive, nine, Elula, six and 20-month-old Montgomery with her husband Sacha Baron Cohen – previously revealed she is putting her career on the back-burner a little so she can focus on her family life.
She said: “I’m lucky enough to be able to stay at home and be with my family. I used to devour every script, but now I’m focused on my family life, which has brought me so much satisfaction in a deep way. My husband only makes a movie every three years, so we’re together all the time.
“I still love acting. It’s the greatest form of escapism. I’m very optimistic. Things are changing for women – but it feels like every time there’s a female-driven piece of material that does well, everybody acts surprised. I can’t compute why, when 50 per cent of the population is female, studios wouldn’t want to actively try to get that audience.”

Mariah Carey's settlement talks with James Packer break down

OHMYGOSSIP — Settlement talks between Mariah Carey and James Packer have broken down.
The singer and the billionaire businessman recently ended their engagement and were reported to be in negotiations for a financial settlement for Mariah, who wanted $50 million after claiming she had to uproot her life and move to Los Angeles for him.
TMZ reports that James insists there is “no legal basis” for him to pay Mariah anything as they weren’t married.
However, she has accused him of being a “lying opportunist” and claimed he used her fame to help secure lucrative business deals.
Mariah, 46, was said to have been left “blindsided” when James called off their engagement.
A source recently said: “The split has been devastating for Mariah. She loved James and was planning to marry him. She made life changes for this man to prepare for their future as husband and wife, even relocating to Los Angeles, at James’ request, so he could be closer to his children.
“Everything she has done over the past year is to prove how fully committed she is to their life together. She really wanted this to work. And then, completely out of the blue, it imploded.”
And the singer – who has five-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with her ex-husband Nick Cannon – is determined to get a financial settlement.
However, a source close to the couple recently said: “Of course Mariah wants money, but she’s not getting $50 million. There’s no negotiations about money because they haven’t spoken since the split.
“He let her keep the engagement ring, and she isn’t getting a cent more.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tobey Maguire has splashed out almost $13 million on a new bachelor pad.

Trulia reports that the six-bedroom, nine-bathroom residence has a wine cellar, gym, library, and barbecue area and an infinity pool.
Tobey and Jennifer announced their split last month and said their two children – Ruby, nine, and Otis, seven – are their top priority.
In a joint statement, they said: “After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple.
“As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship.”
The couple tied the knot in 2007 – four years after they met – in a ceremony in Hawaii in front of their close family and friends.
The actor has remained tight-lipped about his personal life throughout his career but previously gave an insight into their family life.
Speaking about welcoming their first child, he said at the time: “It’s a very dramatic change. My whole life is in transition now with friendships and where I’m gonna live, you know? Just your whole perspective. It’s great. Ruby’s so adorable. She’s just a smiley, little beautiful thing.”
When the pair were preparing to tie the knot, Jennifer was thrilled, dubbing it the “best time of her life”.
She shared: “Let’s just say this is truly the best time of my life. I’m walking on air. I’m getting married, starting a family and have an amazing company.”
Tobey also opened up about wanting “security and comfort” in his life following a rocky childhood.
He explained at the time: “Growing up the way I did, I had a very serious ambition to make some money, to have some security and comfort in my life.”

He explained: “I told y’all I didn’t vote, right? But if I were to vote, I would have voted for Trump.
“I just said that I would have voted for Donald Trump and then I did a song and y’all sang it at the top of your lungs. That doesn’t mean that you’re a Trump supporter. That just means you OK with a celebrity having their own opinion. Or that someone else is OK to have their own opinion. That might not be your opinion but you can still like that person or still like that person’s music.”
And he is still planning to run for US president in 2020.
He said: “I’m concerned about putting our concept of how to do the [president’s] job in a new way and if no one will do it in that way, I will take position in 2020 and do it myself.”

Simon Cowell is hero to son

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Cowell’s son’s “hero” is the music mogul.
The ‘X Factor’ boss often brings two-year-old Eric – who he has with girlfriend Lauren Silverman – onto the set of the show and the strong bond between them is clear for everyone who works on the programme to see.
Digital presenter Roman Kemp said: “Simon is a normal bloke and a really nice guy.
“He brings Eric here [to the set] all the time. He came in while Bruno Mars was here rehearsing and was dancing along.
“He loves Simon, you can just tell he thinks his dad is his hero.”
Roman gets on well with all the ‘X Factor’ judges, which also includes Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger, and says they are all very normal and grounded.
He said: “They are really down to earth.
“They all eat in the canteen with everyone and Simon always requests crisps, fruit pastilles and lemon and ginger tea…
“I was most surprised by the family feel at ‘X Factor’. It’s not scary, it’s not bitchy, it’s honestly lovely.”
And the 23-year-old star – whose parents are Martin Kemp and Shirlie Holliman – is particularly close to Sharon Osbourne.
He said: “I have such respect for her. She is the mother of the team and has taken me under her wing.
“We had dinner together every night at judges’ houses.”
While the judges appreciate Roman’s parents’ past successes, ‘Xtra Factor’ host Rylan Clarke-Neal left Spandau Ballet star Martin unimpressed when he didn’t realise who he was.
Roman told Closer magazine: “One of the best moments was when Rylan saw my dad and instead of being star-struck, he was just like, ‘Oh my God, you’re Roman Kemp’s dad.’ My dad was a bit p***ed off.”

Laura Wasser advises famous clients to divorce 'in bulk'

OHMYGOSSIP — Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie’s divorce lawyer prefers her clients to file “in bulk”.
Laura Wasser – who has also represented the likes of Kim Kardashian West, Khloe Kardashian, Ashton Kutcher Ryan Reynolds and Gwen Stefani – does her best to “minimise exposure” when her high-profile clients’ marriages end, so also tries tactics such as getting them to lodge their petitions on Christmas Eve.
Discussing how Stevie Wonder was her first famous client, she said: “I did Angie around the same time,when she and Billy Bob [Thornton] split up and Britney [Spears in her divorce from Kevin Federline].”
She added: “I’ll file right before a holiday weekend or on Christmas Eve – whatever I can do to minimise the exposure.”
And Laura has admitted in the past she urges her clients to agree to let her file their paperwork at the same time as any other famous stars she is representing.
She has said: “I tell my clients, ‘I have someone else, I can’t tell you who, but you should really wait and file at the same time.’ ”
Laura is also often brought in to arrange pre-nuptial agreements before her clients get married and admitted she urges them to “blame” her and the rest of their management team for the unromantic documents.
She said: “Particularly with some of the younger women, I will say, ‘I know this isn’t romantic but let’s talk through it, then you can put it in a drawer and never have to think about it again.’
“[Men] call me and say, ‘How am I supposed to tell her I want a pre-nup?’ And I’m like, well, go to a nice restaurant, have a conversation and totally blame it on your representatives.”
But she admits she is often horrified about what her clients want to put i the documents, with one basketball player wanting his wife and kids to be stopped from using his surname if they split, and another making a failed bid to have it stated how quickly e expected his spouse to lose weight after giving birth.
Laura told Grazia magazine: “A lot of very successful people are not used to anyone telling them no. I have to. I’m going to tell them the truth and that makes them vulnerable.
“A lot of people don’t like it but for the most part, they appreciate knowing it up front.”

OHMYGOSSIP — James Packer has been edited out of Mariah Carey’s reality TV show trailer.
The billionaire businessman was reportedly due to appear in the first six episodes of ‘Mariah’s World’ but there is no sign of him in the latest trailer for the E! docu-series and it has been claimed that he has been removed completely from the show.
According to Australia’s Daily Telegraph: “Packer was supposed to appear in the first six episodes, but his team has been demanding that the network remove him.”
And Entertainment Tonight said James’ removal from the show was causing drama for the network.
An insider explained: “[James] is demanding that E! and Carey remove him from all footage of ‘Mariah’s World’.

“This poses a threat to the much-hyped docuseries as the bulk of the show is them planning a wedding.”
However, a source close to James said: “The show hasn’t even finished shooting. He has not asked to be taken out. It is totally false.”

Emilia Clarke joins Han Solo spin-off

OHMYGOSSIP — Emilia Clarke has been cast in the Han Solo ‘Star Wars’ movie.
The ‘Game of Thrones’ actress will star in the upcoming untitled spin-off, featuring Alden Ehrenreich as the hero, Han Solo, the role made famous by Harrison Ford in the original movies.
Clarke’s character has not yet been revealed but an announcement on StarWars.com stated: “Emilia Clarke is heading to a galaxy far, far away – and she’s going to meet Han and Chewie.
“StarWars.com is excited to announce that Clarke, known for her stirring portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, will join the upcoming untitled Han Solo Star Wars movie. Clarke’s role will round out a dynamic cast of characters that Han and Chewie will encounter on their adventures.
“Clarke joins Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover – previously cast as Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, respectively – in the highly-anticipated film, which is set prior to the original Star Wars trilogy.
“The untitled Han Solo movie, helmed by directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, is set for release in 2018.”
Donald Glover was recently cast as Lando Calrissian, “a scoundrel on the rise in the galaxy’s underworld”.
Meanwhile, despite creating a movie that expands on a pre-existing character, cinematographer Bradford Young is impressed with how little Lucasfilm have interfered with the ideas process.
He said: “We’re doing our own thing, that’s why we’re there. Phil and Chris are there to bring what they bring to their films, their very unique vision, their perspective on story and they asked me to come bring what I bring, and so just for that it won’t feel like any of the other films. And nobody at Lucasfilm is asking us to betray that, they’re saying ‘We’re in full support of what you do and we wanna make sure that we’re able to help you do it in the best way.’ It’s gonna feel like a ‘Star Wars’ film, but we’re definitely gonna break some rules, and we’re encouraged to do that.”

Fifth Harmony's Lauren Jauregui comes out as bisexual

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Jauregui has come out as bisexual.
The Fifth Harmony singer discussed her sexuality in an open letter on Billboard.com, in which she blasted those who voted for Donald Trump in the recent US presidential election.
She wrote: “I am a bisexual Cuban-American woman and I am so proud of it. I am proud to be part of a community that only projects love and education and the support of one another.”
Directly addressing those who supported Trump, she added: “To every single Trump supporter trying to say that voting for Trump does not mean that you are racist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic, assholes… that you just like the way he didn’t really care what people thought and just said whatever he wanted… that he wasn’t a politician, so he wasn’t part of the establishment and didn’t have corrupt money backing him. This is for you:
“Your words are worthless, because your actions have led to the single-handed destruction of all the progress we’ve made socially as a nation. You have, with your pure ignorance and refusal to understand the way the government and the world works, allowed a power-hungry business tycoon to take over the United States of America. The land of the free, the home of the brave, under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for ALL. You are HYPOCRITES.”
Lauren penned the letter after speculation about her sexuality increased when a photograph of herself kissing another woman was leaked.

She wrote: “Having a frustrating day with chronic pain, but I find myself feeling so blessed to have such strong intelligent female doctors.

Gaga’s new album ‘Joanne’ is named after her late aunt and she recently said the track ‘Joanne’ helped her father to deal with his grief over her death.
Gaga said: “[The first time I played ‘Joanne’] I looked over at him and he just looked at me like, ‘How did you know that? How did you know that’s what I wanted to say?'”

She added: “I never got to meet her but I always felt very connected to her my whole life.
“I never was able to truly understand why my father was so sad.
“There was something inside of him like a loss or a trauma that I just couldn’t perceive of.

Chelsea Handler blasts Angelina Jolie again

OHMYGOSSIP — Chelsea Handler has blasted Angelina Jolie again.
The chat show host – who is a good friend of Brad Pitt’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston – previously branded Angelina, 41, a lunatic and has now called his divorce from the star an “emancipation”.
Introducing Angelina’s divorce lawyer and her own good friend, Laura Wasser, at a charity event in Los Angeles this week, Chelsea said: “[Laura]’s very dynamic, she’s very principled and she’s a very accomplished human being.
“And she’s such a humanitarian, she’s actually currently negotiating Brad Pitt’s emancipation.”
TMZ obtained a video of Chelsea making the comments at the A Place Called Home gala.
After Angelina filed for divorce from Brad, 52, in September, Chelsea said: “There are reports that part of the problem was Brad was allegedly drinking and smoking too much weed. I wonder why he needed to self-medicate. Maybe because he could have been spending the last 12 years at Lake Como hanging out with George Clooney and Matt Damon, instead of being stuck in a house with 85 kids speaking 15 different languages?
“Oh yeah, because he married a lunatic, that’s why!”
Chelsea, 41, also went on to joke that she would celebrate the impending divorce by getting married.
She said: “Brad and Angelina always said they wouldn’t get married until everyone could get married. And I always said I wouldn’t get married until they got divorced. So I’m officially accepting proposals! I’m ready!
“But we should all respect their privacy during this very difficult time. So, this will be the last time I speak of this …on TV. You can follow me on Twitter.”
And in 2010, she called her a “homewrecker”, saying: “She’s a homewrecker, she is. She can rescue as many babies from as many countries as she wants to, I don’t believe you.”

Prince William admits fatherhood struggles

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince William admits he has struggled with fatherhood.
The 34-year-old royal – who has children Prince George, three and 18-month-old Princess Charlotte with his wife Duchess Catherine – admitted that there are “wonderful highs and lows” to being a dad.
Speaking on English-language show ‘Talk Vietnam’ during a two-day visit to the country, he said: “It’s been quite a change for me personally. I’m very lucky in the support I have from Catherine, she’s an amazing mother and a fantastic wife.
“I’ve struggled at times. The alteration from being a single, independent man to going into marriage and then having children is life-changing.
“I adore my children very much, and I’ve learned a lot about myself and about family just from having my own children.”
Speaking about his children, he called George “a right little rascal”, adding, “he keeps me on my toes but he’s a sweet boy”.
And when asked about Charlotte, he said: “Bearing in mind I haven’t had a sister, so having a daughter is a very different dynamic. So I’m learning about having a daughter, having a girl in the family.”
He went on to add: “I would like [my kids] to grow up with simple aspirations. I think there’s a lot of huge aspirations and people living with an enormous amount of stuff that they don’t necessarily need.
“The materialism of the world – I find quite tricky sometimes.
“I would like George and Charlotte to grow up being a little bit more simple in their approach and their outlook, and just looking after those around them and treating others as they would like to be treated themselves.”

Katie Price and Kieran Hayler 'very much in love'

OHMYGOSSIP — Katie Price insists she and husband Kieran Hayler are “very much in love”.
The 38-year-old star took to Twitter to deny claims that she and her husband – who previously admitted to cheating on Katie – are experiencing fresh marriage difficulties.
She fumed: “From the horses mouth me and kieran are 100 per cent together not splitting up we are very happy and very much in love leave our relationship alone (sic).”
The duo renewed their vows in February 2015 after Kieran confessed to being unfaithful.
However, Katie recently announced she was taking some time out from her ITV show ‘Loose Women’ in order to focus on her marriage.
The former glamour model decided to take a month off from the daytime show to have therapy with Kieran to resolve some outstanding issues relating to his extra-marital affairs with two of her best friends.
Katie had to talk about Kieran’s betrayal with her best friend Jane Pountney at length while promoting her new autobiography ‘Reborn’ and she admitted the experience re-opened a lot of old wounds which need healing from 2014.
She said: “I thought I was over it [the affair] but obviously, it’s opened it up again, having to talk about it. I thought I dealt with it but when I look back I was concentrating on the babies and I was numb from when it all happened.
“I was contracted [to do the book tour] so obviously you have to do certain things, so whenever I was asked questions I was trying to bat them off with the good stuff, I’m quite good at putting up a defence but I just couldn’t do it with this – I was getting asked questions like, ‘The moment you saw them on the beach, what was it like?’ It’s something that I just don’t want to relive again, it’s something that’s been awful, torture. I haven’t got any more tears to cry, my heart is shattered, it’s broken, it’s nowhere near healed. I haven’t got no tears.”
Admitting her revelations about her own feelings have been difficult for Kieran to process, she added: “It’s also been hard for Kieran, he’s changed in two-and-a-half years, he’s had his therapy, and then we’ve got the book out again and he’s having to relive what kind of person he was. And I’m having to relive it with a fresh mind, I haven’t just had a baby and think, ‘Oh my god, this is really what he did to me.’ ”
