Spice Girls back in the studio

OHMYGOSSIP — The Spice Girls are back in the recording studio.
Geri Horner and Emma Bunton – who make up two of the original five members of the girl group alongside Mel B, Mel C and Victoria Beckham – have taken to Instagram to share an image of the two of them in a studio ahead of the 21st anniversary of their debut single ‘Wannabe’.
The photo, posted to Geri’s Instagram account, was simply captioned: “In studio,oooooh @emmaleebunton (sic)”
But any new music to come out of the studio sessions won’t be branded as Spice Girls music, as Mel C and Victoria are refusing to take part in the reunion, leaving Emma and Geri – who announced she is pregnant last month – to form a trio with Mel B called GEM.
The talk of new music will be good news for Victoria, 42, as she previously admitted she doesn’t want the trio to sing Spice Girls material when they go out on their reunion tour.
She said: “Of course, as a new group, I do [wish them luck]. I do think they should sing new material, though, because what we did as the Spice Girls was so special. If they sang Spice Girls songs, I think I might be a bit sad.”
The studio visit comes after Geri, 44, Emma, 40, and Mel B, 41, announced back in July that they would be heading out on a reunion tour.
They said in a video: “You’ve stood by us for 20 years and we want to say a big thank you.
“We’ve had our ups and downs but you have always been there. We want to celebrate and have a party, and when we do, you’re invited.”

Demi Lovato's casual romance

OHMYGOSSIP — Demi Lovato is keeping things casual with Luke Rockhold.
The ‘Skyscraper’ hitmaker has been spotted getting close to the 32-year-old UFC fighter but isn’t keen to make it too serious yet as she is still getting over her last love Wilmer Valderrama.
A source said: “Demi is hanging out with Luke. It’s pretty new and fun at this point. She likes being around him.
“She just got out of a serious relationship so she is not looking for something that serious but if something evolves naturally over time she is willing to go with it and explore it.”
The pair recently went to a Los Angeles Rams football game together and whilst they weren’t overly affectionate with each other, it was “obvious there was a connection” between them.
The insider added to E! News: “She thinks Luke is a cool dude and he makes her smile. She is the kind of girl that takes day by day and just lives in the moment …
“It was obvious there’s a connection between the two. He would scoot closer to her when they were at the table watching the game.”
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old singer previously revealed she split from Wilmer, 36, because she wanted a “fresh start”.
She explained: “I think it’s healthy to be able to start over with someone else. Being sick was always a part of my relationship with him; I always had something wrong with me. I needed to let go of that.
“It was hard to depart from somebody who saw everything, but it may be nice to start fresh with somebody. Because that person I was when I was a lot younger is not who I am today.”

Sting won't wear hearing aids

OHMYGOSSIP — Sting refuses to keep wearing his hearing aids as he heard a lot of “s**t”.
The 65-year-old musician – real name Gordon Sumner – recently admitted to being “fairly deaf”, but says he won’t wear the devices that help him hear more clearly as it means he ends up listening to more than he bargained for.
Speaking to US radio station Sirius XM, the former Police frontman said: “I tried wearing a hearing aid, but I heard more than I wanted to hear! People talk a lot of s**t!”
Although the ‘Englishman in New York’ hitmaker refuses to wear his hearing aids, he claimed that his upcoming album ’57th & 9th’ – named after the daily route that he walks through the streets of New York City – was helped greatly by being able to hear “people’s phone conversations”.
He added: “Walking has always been important to me. The binary rhythm of walking invokes narrative. 57th & 9th became this taking-stock point.
“You could write a play just by listening to people’s phone conversations on the street in New York. The energy of New York gave [the album] an urgency.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Shape of My Heart’ singer aims to perform tracks from the album at his upcoming concert in Paris, France, on Saturday (12.11.16).
Sting will be performing at the re-opening of the Bataclan theatre, marking the one-year anniversary since shocking terrorist attacks at the venue killed almost 100 people during a performance from Eagles of Death Metal.
In a statement released about the performance, Sting said: “In re-opening the Bataclan, we have two important tasks to reconcile. First, to remember and honour those who lost their lives in the attack a year ago, and second to celebrate the life and the music that this historic theatre represents.
“In doing so. We hope to respect the memory as well as the life affirming spirit of those who fell. We shall not forget them.”

Angelina Jolie had to 'take action'

OHMYGOSSIP — Angelina Jolie insists she had to “take action” against Brad Pitt.
The 41-year-old actress is “relieved” the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) have concluded their investigations into her estranged husband, who has now been cleared of child abuse allegations, and hopes their brood – Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – can now begin to “heal” as they cope with their parents’ separation.
Her representative said in a statement to TMZ: “Angelina said from the beginning that she felt she had to take action for the health of the family and is relieved that after their 8-week involvement, the DCFS is now satisfied the safeguards are put in place that will allow the children to heal.”
The spokesperson also confirmed the former couple – who split in September amid claims Brad, 52, had “got physical” with Maddox during a row on a private jet – have both signed an agreement which sees the ‘Maleficent’ star retain primary custody of the children, with the ‘Allied’ actor receiving supervised visits.
However, it is believed the agreement was only in place while the DCFS investigation was ongoing, and Brad it still determined to seek joint custody of the kids.
But sources claimed Angelina still feels the children are at risk and if the ‘Fury’ star is awarded shared custody, she will “present evidence” to the divorce judge that her former partner was abusive.
Angelina’s statement echoes the one she issues after filing for divorce, in which she claimed to have done so for the “health of her family”.
Her attorney Robert Offer said at the time: “Angelina has filed for dissolution of the marriage. This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting, and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time.”

Brad Pitt thanks fans

OHMYGOSSIP — Brad Pitt has thanked his fans for their support.
The 52-year-old actor attended his first public red carpet event since splitting from wife Angelina Jolie in September alongside co-star Marion Cotillard – at the premiere of his new movie ‘Allied’ in Los Angeles on Wednesday (09.11.16).
And Brad – who wasn’t wearing his wedding ring – spent a lot of time signing autographs for fans, and was grateful for their “kindness” as he spoke with them.
He told E! News: “It’s really sweet, everyone has been really kind out here.
“It’s really nice to have all the support.”
Brad’s appearance came the same day the Los Angeles County Department Of Children And Family Services (DCFS) cleared him of child abuse allegations following weeks of extensive investigations into claims he had struck his 15-year-old son Maddox on board a private jet in late September while under the influence of alcohol.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that it has been decided the ‘Fury’ star had not physically or emotionally harmed Maddox when they allegedly got into a war of words on their private jet.
Now that the investigation has been closed and he has been cleared of the allegations, Brad should have a better chance in his bitter custody war with estranged wife Angelina Jolie, 41.
The actress – who married the hunk two years ago – filed for divorce from Brad just days after the jet incident and asked for sole physical custody of their children Maddox, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
The premiere was the actor’s second public appearance this week, as he also attended a private screening of ‘Moonlight’ – which is produced by his Plan B company – alongside his friend Julia Roberts on Tuesday (08.11.16).

Kris and Caitlyn Jenner's concerns for Kylie

OHMYGOSSIP — Kris and Caitlyn Jenner are reportedly worried their daughter Kylie spends too much money on her boyfriend.
The 19-year-old reality star and her rapper beau Tyga, 26, have been known to splash out on lavish gifts for each other, but now the curvaceous beauty’s parents are starting to get concerned about the pair’s spending.
A source close to momager Kris, 61, and her 67-year-old former husband Caitlyn – who was known as Bruce Jenner before she underwent gender reassignment – told InTouch magazine: “Kylie spends] hundreds and thousands of dollars [on Tyga]. [Her parents] just want her to be smart with her money.
“Kris and Cait even involved Kylie’s management team.”
And the make-up mogul’s parents aren’t the only ones with concerns about the loved up couple, as Kylie previously revealed that the ‘Rack City’ hitmaker’s friends didn’t want them to date at first.
She said previously: “The first year we started hanging out, everyone around him told him not to be with me. I still get comments like, ‘Don’t be with him.’
“But we’re not doing it for the public – we love each other. We need to be together at all times. We never get mad at each other, we just figure things out.”
It isn’t just Kylie who faces concerns over her funds either, as the ‘1 of 1’ rapper recently appeared in court to discuss his own finances after a string of repossessions and troublesome bank account figures.
In September, it was reported that Tyga’s mother was at risk of getting her Range Rover repossessed after the rapper failed to keep up the $1,000-a-month repayments on the $60,000 Evoque model.
Previously, Tyga’s own Ferrari was seemingly repossessed, while he was also recently the subject of a $200,000 lawsuit filed by jeweller Jason of Beverly Hills due to an allegedly unpaid purchase of a watch and chain in 2013, and has had action taken against him by more than one landlord for unpaid rent.

Kim Kardashian West losing money after robbery

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West has lost millions of dollars since she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris last month.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star – who is an avid user of social media – rakes in an estimated $300,000 for a single branded post on Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter but her silence online since the horrific ordeal, which saw her robbed of an estimated $8.5 million in jewellery, may have hurt her wages.
Krishna Subramanian, co-founder of social media management platform Captiv8, told Us Magazine: “Someone like Kim, with her following and reach across the social channels, could average around $300,000 for a single branded post.”
But she’s not just losing money from her lack of online activity, as the 36-year-old beauty has also cancelled appearances around the world since the robbery.
The source explained: “She has a number of business obligations that can no longer be postponed. She needs to get back out in public to make money again.”
However, although she really wants to get back out there again, Kim is reportedly still dealing with the trauma and has been having counselling sessions every day.
An insider said recently: “She’s [Kim has] been having nightmares and flashbacks. She’s talking to a therapist every day, usually via Skype [online video], phone or in person.”
Although she’s largely stayed indoors with her two children North, three, and Saint, 11 months, over the past four weeks, Kim did step out for frozen yogurt with her best friend Jonathan Cheban on October 24, before attending her husband Kanye’s ‘Saint Pablo’ concert in Los Angeles a few days later.
She also made an appearance at her half-sister Kendall Jenner’s 21st birthday party last week but hired three off-duty police officers to keep an eye on her during the bash.
The brunette beauty’s decision to hire officers came days after she reportedly sacked her personal guard Pascal Duvier.
Kim and Kanye decided to “let go” of the bodyguard after he failed to protect her from the robbers, who stole jewellery from her worth an estimated $8.5 million, because he was looking after her sister Kourtney Kardashian at the time instead.
The decision no doubt infuriated Pascal as he’s protected the businesswoman since 2013 and her husband since 2012.

Brad Pitt cleared of child abuse

OHMYGOSSIP — Brad Pitt has been cleared of child abuse allegations.
The 52-year-old actor was accused of striking his 15-year-old son Maddox on board a private jet in late September while under the influence of alcohol but, following weeks of extensive interviews with the child and evidence gathering, the Los Angeles County Department Of Children And Family Services decided to close the case on Wednesday (09.11.16).
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that it has been decided the ‘Allied’ star had not physically or emotionally harmed Maddox when they allegedly got into a war of words on their private jet.
Now that the investigation has been closed and he has been cleared of the allegations, Brad should have a better chance in his bitter custody war with estranged wife Angelina Jolie, 41.
The actress – who married the hunk two years ago – filed for divorce from Brad just days after the jet incident and asked for sole physical custody of their children Maddox, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
However, Brad is determined to get joint custody and it seems, at present, the Californian courts are in his favour.
Until they reach an agreement, the children will remain in Angelina’s care and Brad will have “therapeutic visits.”
A statement said recently: “The six children will stay in their mother’s custody, and the children will continue therapeutic visits with their father. This has been determined by childcare professionals to be in the children’s best interest.”
Meanwhile, according to TMZ, Brad gave the same separation date – September 15, 2016 – as Angelina in his documents, but neither star has mentioned spousal or child support.

Kylie Jenner to host Thanksgiving dinner

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Jenner is hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for her family.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star has invited her famous relatives round for a big calorific meal in celebration of the annual national holiday, which falls on the fourth Thursday of November in the US, as they spend time together in one place.
Speaking in an episode of Amazon’s ‘Style Code Live’, which will air on Thursday (10.11.16), Kourtney Kardashian – the half sister of Kylie – said: “For Thanksgiving, I’m going to f**k the diet. Kylie’s making Thanksgiving dinner, so I can’t really ask her to make gluten-free and dairy-free, and I don’t really want to.”
It seems the famous family take it in turns as to who will host the dinner, as last year Khloe Kardashian put on a lavish spread.
Her mother Kris Jenner said at the time: “It was so beautiful and it was so magical, and she had the table set and the food was delicious and everybody was so excited to be there and she made it – she must have had 300 candles lit – and the table was so beautiful… everything was divine and perfect.”
However, not only did she slave over a stove whipping up her family a delicious meal, the 32-year-old beauty also spent a large portion of the day at her estranged husband Lamar Odom’s bedside as he was fighting for his life at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles following a drugs overdose.
Kris explained: “She was like, ‘OK, I’ve got to take Lamar’s food to the hospital!’ So she packed up this entire meal for him and off she went. You know, we had made these plans where we were going to have game night afterwards and do a whole thing, but she really just wanted to get out of there and go see and make sure he was OK for Thanksgiving. I thought, ‘Wow, that’s an amazing human.’ That really made my whole day.”

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian to live separately after birth

OHMYGOSSIP — Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian will reportedly continue to live separately once their daughter is born.
The turbulent couple – who are engaged to be married but regularly have blazing rows – are set to welcome their first child into the world any day now but, despite the impending arrival, they have no plans to move in together as the 28-year-old model, who also has four-year-old son King Cairo with her ex-boyfriend Tyga, wants a healthy environment for her newborn.
A source told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “Rob and Chyna are going to keep their separate houses, even after their daughter is born.
“Rob can be a very hard person to live with. Chyna wants a healthy environment for both her children. If there is any chance of not having that, she will make sure to avoid it at all costs.”
The 29-year-old sock designer – who was once a recluse – sunk into deep depression two years ago and, although his relationship with Chyna has improved his outlook on life, his mood swings are still unpredictable and hard to manage.
The source explained: “No one ever knows what kind of Rob they are going to get. He has his good days and he has his bad ones. There are days he responds to texts, days he doesn’t.”
However, his famous family – including his mother Kris Jenner and sisters Kim Kardashian West, Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian – rely on Chyna to keep them in the loop.
The insider said: “Chyna is the one who gives the Kardashian family updates on the pregnancy, baby and relationship.
“Chyna became the person who kept the family in the loop since Rob will go silent for weeks on end.
“She knows that Rob sticks to himself at times, so she has taken on the role of making sure he stays close to the family.
“All the sisters, along with [Rob’s mother] Kris [Jenner], love Chyna. They are so thankful that she is in Rob’s life.”
Rob moved back to his home in Calabasas, California, in September after he had a series of rows with Chyna and she chucked him out of her mansion in Tarzana, California.
He told his sister Kourtney Kardashian’s ex-partner Scott Disick at the time: “This cycle of me being kicked out the house has happened several times. And usually I go right back, but I’m sick of it. So, I’m going to stay at my house in Calabasas for a bit.”

Drake's spoiling Taylor Swift's cats

OHMYGOSSIP — Drake has been buying Taylor Swift presents for her cats.
The ‘One Dance’ hitmaker – who is rumoured to be dating the singer following his split from Rihanna – has been trying to win over the 26-year-old beauty by splashing out on kitty accessories for her two Scottish Folds – Meredith and Olivia.
A source told the HollywoodLife.com: “Drake knows the way to Taylor’s heart and he’s going for it in a big way. He stopped in PetCo and went buck wild on cat accessories for Taylor. He went all out. He’s also preparing to send her this sick designer bag that she can put her cats in when she’s travelling.
“It’s Drake being Drake and his way of letting her know that she’s good people and keeping her close to him.
“He knows how much she adores her cats and Drake wants her to know that he adores her just as much.”
The pair set tongues wagging in October when Taylor rocked up at Drake’s 30th birthday bash with her girl friends.
The hunk added fuel to the fire a few days later when he uploaded a photograph of them at his party on Instagram.
However, some people believe their recent close contact is down to the fact they’re working on new music together.
An insider said: “The music they have been working on is different but catchy. Both are having a great time in the studio.”
Drake’s new rumoured romance comes just a few weeks after he split from Rihanna following a blazing row over Nicki Minaj.
A source said recently: “Several weeks ago [Drake and Rihanna] had an argument about Nicki because Drake kept rapping the lyrics to a few of he and Nicki’s collabs and going on and on about how he and Nicki are magical when they’re on a track together. Ri felt offended and thought Drake was being high key disrespectful when they themselves have worked together. Words were said, Drake apologised but Ri still feels some type of way and is jealous of his love for Nicki.”

Ruby Rose flew girlfriend's sick mother first class

OHMYGOSSIP — Ruby Rose paid for her girlfriend Jessica Origliasso’s sick mother to fly first class to New Zealand for a surprise visit.
The ‘Orange is the New Black’ star arranged for The Veronicas singer’s mum Colleen to jet from Queensland, Australia, to Auckland while she and her twin sister Lisa were shooting their new music video ‘On Your Side’ a few months ago because she knew how close they all were and wanted them to be reunited.
Speaking on Australia’s ‘Matt & Meshel’ radio show on Wednesday (09.11.16), Jessica said: “Our mum’s been sick and she’s always been an amazing support system in our life and our family’s life. When we were filming ‘On Your Side’ over in Auckland, she actually surprised us by flying our mum out.”
And the 30-year-old actress’ sweet gesture clearly went down well with Jessica, as it lead to them rekindling their romance.
The couple briefly dated in 2008 but they went their separate ways later that year and have been dating other people since.
The 31-year-old singer said recently: “We adore each other. We’ve supported each other through the last eight years of our lives, personally and professionally we’ve really grown together.”
The pair fuelled speculation they had reunited with a series of pictures on Instagram and Jess says they want to find a balance between sharing their union and protecting their romance.
She explained: “When we first got together way, way back, it was hard to know how much to share.
“Now we are quite protective of what we have, so obviously being able to be open enough but keeping a lot of it for ourself is something that we’re very conscious of and I think it just depends on the people what you’re willing to share.”
Ruby’s rekindled relationship comes just a few months after she split from Harley Gusman, whom she dated briefly this year, and a year after she called off her engagement to Phoebe Dahl.

Blac Chyna will document daughter's birth

OHMYGOSSIP — Blac Chyna has agreed to film her baby daughter’s birth.
The 28-year-old model was undecided as to whether she wanted cameras to roll when she goes into labour with her little girl, who is due over the next coming days, but she has now decided that the production team for her and her fiancé Rob Kardashian’s show ‘Rob & Chyna’ can capture the special moment for a forthcoming baby segment on their reality series.
A source told People.com: “Chyna and Rob documented a large majority of their pregnancy journey, including the reveal of their baby’s sex and a paternity test, on the first season of their E! reality show, ‘Rob & Chyna’.
“But, although the show aired its season 1 finale on October 16, the cameras will roll again to capture the birth experience. The birth or some part of the birth process will be filmed.”
Chyna – whose real name is Angela White – has reportedly booked in for a Cesarean section at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, where her fiancé’s sisters Kim Kardashian West and Kourtney Kardashian have also given birth over the years.
And the famous family are certainly no strangers to giving birth in front of the cameras as Kourtney delivered Mason, six, and Penelope, four, for her show ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’.
Meanwhile, Chyna – who also has four-year-old son King Cairo with her ex-boyfriend Tyga – recently revealed how she plans to follow a “strict” eating and fitness regime as soon as she gives birth to her second child, which is due on November 16.
She said: “My goal is to gain, like, 100 pounds this pregnancy. I’m gonna tear it up, then I’m gonna snap back. Strict diet, waist training, detox tea and working out.”
She has regularly shared updates about her weight gain on social media app Snapchat, and she still has a long way to go to reach her target, as she shared less than two weeks ago that she’s put on 50lbs during her pregnancy so far.

Yolanda Hadid nearly had 'heart attack' when Gigi was grabbed

OHMYGOSSIP — Yolanda Hadid “nearly had a heart attack” when she found out her daughter Gigi had been grabbed by a man in Milan.
The 52-year-old reality TV star was stricken with panic when the beautiful blonde model – her child with her ex-husband Mohammed Hadid – rung her to tell her a mystery man had tried to pick her up as she left Milan Fashion Week in September.
Speaking on Australia’s ‘Kyle & Jackie O Show’ on Wednesday (09.11.16), she explained: “I nearly had a heart attack when she called me, which was right after [the incident in Milan].”
The 21-year-old star came under fire when she was caught on camera elbowing the man after he wrapped his arms around her but, despite the backlash, her mother has praised her actions.
She said: “I think her reaction was perfect. That’s girl power. They know you don’t let anyone touch you or do that, it’s wrong.”
Gigi isn’t the only member of the family to have a high-profile career as her 20-year-old sister Bella is also a catwalk model and, although Yolanda is proud of them, the ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ star is wary of what they put on social media.
She explained: “We try to have a strict rule of, don’t post where you are or post after you have left a place.
“But with paparazzi out there, it is almost impossible not to be seen at a location in the moment.”
Shortly after the incident in Milan, Gigi – who is dating Zayn Malik – took to her social networking sites to defend her actions.
She said at the time: “Honestly, I felt I was in danger, and I had every right to react the way I did.
“If anything, I want girls to see the video and know that they have the right to fight back, too, if put in a similar situation.
“Practicing self-defence is important so that when you’re in the moment, reacting from muscle memory comes more naturally to you than freezing up. Confidence in your own ability to defend yourself comes with educating yourself about it, and is a massive advantage when in an unsafe situation.”

Dannii Minogue's son is learning Mandarin

OHMYGOSSIP — Dannii Minogue’s son can speak Mandarin Chinese.
The 45-year-old singer and her ex-boyfriend Kris Smith – who is the father of her child – are so proud of their six-year-old boy Ethan as he’s started to learn the traditional language at school.
Speaking to Australia’s Daily Telegraph newspaper, he said: “I think we are very blessed, Dannii and I. He’s such a good kid. He’s polite, kind, generous honest, he’s kind of perfect.”
And, although his son spends most of his time in Melbourne with his mother, Kris really enjoys taking him home to Sydney.
He explained: “He loves reading. I gave him the choice of anything in any toy shop [the other day and] he wanted and he picked Harry Potter books, and Roald Dahl. We read a lot.”
Dannii and Kris met in 2008 in Ibiza, where the ex-professional rugby league player was celebrating his 30th birthday.
After two years of dating, the then-couple announced they were expecting a baby together and Ethan was born on July 5, 2010.
In 2012, the pair announced they had split on amicable terms and were determined to co-parent their little boy.
Kris went on to romance model Maddy King and, although they’ve recently split following for years of dating, he has admitted he’s feeling “clucky” now Ethan is at school full time.
He said: “I spent a lot of time with a friends’ baby, Florence, whose eight months old now and I’m getting a bit clucky again. I’d love more kids. I just need someone to help me out.
“Am I on the look out for a lady? I’m relatively newly single but I’d never say no, if somebody takes your eye and steals your heart, then of course.”

Russell Brand names newborn daughter Mabel

OHMYGOSSIP — Russell Brand has named his newborn daughter Mabel.
The 41-year-old comedian and his fiancée Laura Gallacher welcomed their little girl into the world on Sunday (06.11.16) and, although they want to raise her as a gender neutral, have picked out the sweet moniker for her, according to the MailOnline.
The funny man told the audience at his gig at the Nottingham Playhouse, East Midlands, over the weekend that he had to rush off after the show to get back to Laura and their new baby.
Fan Daniel Crann, 29, said: “He didn’t confirm if it was a girl or a boy. He was conscious of the clock and made sure he was off stage by just approaching 9pm as he ‘needed to get down the f***ing M21 as my girlfriend has just had a baby’.”
The ‘Get Him to the Greek’ star previously said he and Laura had decided not to find out the sex of their baby until the birth and are keen to let the little one grow up attached to the gender she wants.
He said at the time: “We don’t know the gender I may not even ever impose a gender upon it, let the child grow up and be the whatever the hell it is, never tell it there is such a concept.”
However, Russell – who was previously wed to pop superstar Katy Perry – revealed it is Laura who makes all the important decisions involving their lives, and his opinion is “secondary”.
He said: “[Laura is] decorating the nursery. Around domestic issues, my vote is often secondary … Or the vote of my gender at least, so I will just wait to see what is determined.”
The pair – who have been dating since last year – now live in the countryside and keep chickens, something which the ‘Arthur’ actor says suits him as he’s “much happier” with his current lifestyle than he was when he was playing the fame game in London.
He said: “It is very calm. I look at the chickens; they hatch some eggs. Basically I’m like a village idiot – just looking at livestock.
“There is constant conflict between the primal drives: the drive to procreate, the drive to survive, and the drive to have status. But I am no longer deluded as to what may provide happiness.
“I’m so much happier over the course of the day to see one or two people and a few chickens, that’s a good way of living.”
