OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry has slammed the online trolls that are attacking his girlfriend Meghan Markle.
The 32-year-old royal is “deeply disappointed” that he has not been able to protect the 35-year-old actress from the “wave of abuse and harassment” she has suffered since their romance was made public.
A statement released by Kensington Palace reads: “His girlfriend, Meghan Markle, has been subject to a wave of abuse and harassment. Some of this has been very public … the outright sexism and racism of social media trolls and web article comments.
“Prince Harry is worried about Ms Markle’s safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her. It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms Markle should be subjected to such a storm. He knows commentators will say this is ‘the price she has to pay’ and that ‘this is all part of the game’. He strongly disagrees. This is not a game – it is her life and his.”
Meghan’s relatives have also been bombarded with messages and questions after the news of their romance broke.
And the flame-haired royal also insisted he has “never been comfortable” with the curiosity around his love life.
In a statement, the spokesperson added: “Since he was young, Prince Harry has been very aware of the warmth that has been extended to him by members of the public. He feels lucky to have so many people supporting him and knows what a fortunate and privileged life he leads.
“He is also aware that there is significant curiosity about his private life. He has never been comfortable with this, but he has tried to develop a thick skin about the level of media interest that comes with it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Hudson has paid tribute to her late mother on what would’ve been her 66th birthday.
The 35-year-old singer has shared an emotive quote from Darnell Donaldson, who was, along with brother Jason and seven-year-old nephew Julian King, horrifically murdered by her sister’s estranged husband William Balfour in 2008, to recognise her milestone.
Sharing a picture of her mum on Instagram, Jennifer wrote: “Today would have been my late mothers 66th bday! In her words “If you think you’ve seen it all just keep on living ” (sic)”
This comes just three months after Jennifer donated school supplies to under-privileged kids in honour of her late nephew Julian on what would’ve been his 15th birthday.
She said at the time: “I wanted my sister to look forward to her son’s birthday.
“My mother always told me, ‘What I love about you is no matter how negative things are, you always seem to find the positive.’
“Julian was a scholar of a child. He was a giver as well. Hatch Day represents everything about him.”
The annual Hatch Day event, held in collaboration with their charity, the Julian D. King Gift Foundation, was set up six years ago and has helped more than 5,000 children.
Jennifer has previously admitted she speaks to her late mother “all the time”.
When asked if she ever has conversations with her mum in her head, she said: “All the time. And my brother, if he was here, if I was sitting up crying, he’ll say, ‘Jenny, knock it off. Knock it off!’ ”
Balfour was found guilty of killing Darnell, Jason, and Julian.
He is currently serving life in prison.

OHMYGOSSIP — Lisa Vanderpump no longer speaks to Brandi Glanville.
The pair constantly clashed on ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ and the 56-year-old star has admitted relations between them haven’t improved since Brandi quit the show.
During an appearance on ‘Watch What Happens Live’, Lisa was asked whether she still talks to the 43-year-old star and confirmed their relationship is non-existent, adding: “[I] got to know the block button.”
While Lisa has also been known to clash with Yolanda Hadid – the mother of Gigi and Bella – in the past, she admitted relations between them are “better” than they were.
Speaking about the 52-year-old TV personality, who is suffering with Lyme disease, Lisa said: “[She] seemed to be doing much better.”
Lisa also hinted she clashed with Lisa Rinna – who also didn’t get along with Brandi on the show – on the new series of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’, but insisted fans will have to watch the series to find out exactly what happens.
However, she did say: “It was hard to go back because I felt like I took a beating.”
Lisa signed up for the latest ‘RHOBH’ season despite speculation she had quit the Bravo show because she was unhappy with the “negative vibes” in the last series.
Yolanda quit the programme after producers reportedly told her she would be demoted to a friend of the show rather than a main star in the upcoming season, but it was stressed there was no ill feeling between the star and the production team.
Announcing her exit on Instagram, she wrote: “I would have loved a more graceful exit then “Season 6″ but sometimes we don’t get to control the ending of the chapters in our life………….. I am leaving what’s over without denying its past importance in my life. I believe that every exit is an new entry and with that in mind I say goodbye to my @Bravotv Family as I continue to focus on a my recovery, my children and bring back the privacy within our Home (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Professor Green “never” moved in the same “world” as Millie Mackintosh.
The ‘One Eye on the Door’ rapper insists he never felt out of his depth with his Quality Street heiress ex-wife – a former star of reality show ‘Made In Chelsea’ – and her pals because he stuck with the same friends he’s always had.
Asked if he felt at odds in Millie’s usual haunts, he told Grazia magazine: “Mate, I never moved into that west London world.
“I have the same morals and values anywhere I go and I have the same circle of friends that I’ve always had. It’s what keeps my world normal.”
The 32-year-old musician also insisted ‘One Eye on the Door’ is not a break-up song, but rather acknowledges the “paranoia and guilt” he would feel at staying out too late.
He said: “This is not a break-up song. It’s about a situation that occurred in a relationship, not the breakdown.
“It’s about that feeling when all of a sudden it’s six in the morning and I’ve stayed out longer than I said I would.
“It’s about the paranoia and the guilt and knowing you’re gonna get it in the neck.”
Despite his personal upheaval, Green – whose real name is Stephen Manderson – insists he is feeling “content” and he is taking positive lessons from his divorce.
He said: “I’m content and I’m just enjoying all of it.
“It feels pretty good putting music out again and the response has been amazing. I haven’t just had a turbulent couple of years. My turbulence has been my entire life. But the end of my marriage has taught me there’s no permanence in life.
“You have to accept that most things are temporary and there’s a real positive to be drawn from that. These days I’m just happy.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley and Roger Matthews are “very proud parents” to their “newly baptized” son Greyson.
The couple – who also have two-year-old daughter Meilani together – had the six-month-old tot formally welcomed into the Christian faith over the weekend and couldn’t be happier.
Roger shared a number of pictures on Instagram of the happy occasion, and alongside one image of himself, his wife, and Greyson, he wrote: “Very proud parents to this newly baptized Baby Beluga. Greyson Valor Mathews (sic).”
And in another group picture, the 37-year-old businessman poked fun at the youngster’s huge appetite when thanking their friends for agreeing to be his Godparents.
He wrote: “Great weekend with family and friends. Thanks @apinard for the amazing pics and thanks to Greyson’s God Parents @k8up and@ktenan12 for honoring us by being Greys God Parents and accepting the morality clause to be an impressionable role model in his life as well as accepting certain financial doom by agreeing to feed him should anything happen to his parents. The kid ate the neighbors cat last week (sic).”
While Roger – who married the former ‘Jersey Shore’ star in 2015 – was proud of his son during the ceremony, he was distracted by how hungry he felt and even considered tucking into the bread traditionally given out during holy communion to represent the body of Christ.
He admitted: “I’m intently staring down a parishioner who appeared to be hogging to much bread during holy communion cause I was hungry. Grey said screw it and decided to eat his own thumb for nourishment because he was so famished. My grandmother behind us was appalled by the whole thing and shortly after this picture was taken hit me in the head with an old umbrella that smelled like moth balls. At the end of the day he got baptized and thumbs aren’t that important (sic).”

OHMYGOSSIP — Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel were “very affectionate” at the engagement party.
The 33-year-old model and the co-founder of Snapchat, 26, celebrated their impending marriage at a “classy and chic” party at the Hotel Bel-Air on Saturday evening (05.11.16) surrounded by their close family and friends.
A source told E! News: “It was filled with close family and friends and the couple seemed really happy and in love.
“Miranda and Evan were very affectionate throughout the party. Everyone was celebrating and having a great time. Miranda and Evan get along with each other’s friends perfectly.”
The pair are set to tie the knot in 2017 and Miranda – who has five-year-old son Flynn with her ex-husband Orlando Bloom – previously opened up about the proposal, admitting it was a total surprise.
She said: “[Was I expecting it?] Absolutely not. He said to me, ‘Miranda, I’m telling you now, this is the first and last time I’m going to kneel down in front of you.’ I was terribly nervous and emotional, trembling with happiness.”
And Evan is really close with Flynn now but Miranda admits she was initially a bit nervous about introducing him to her son.
She shared: “They adore each other. At first I was very careful as I wanted to be certain our relationship was serious. Now I love to watch them playing together.”
Miranda has a close bond with Evan and they share a number of “common values like a sense of loyalty, family and honesty” and she can always rely on him for advice.
She explained: “Evan is real homebody like me. We have little dinner parties for our friends – he loves my cooking. Both of us are quite conservative even though we come from different worlds. But we have common values, a sense of loyalty, family and honesty. I tend to trust other people more easily. Evan is more guarded and reserved. It’s a good balance.
“We spend hours talking about everything. He listens to me and he understands me. He works very hard and he’s proud that I’ve started my own business. He gives me tons of advice. He’s my soulmate.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Eddie Redmayne doesn’t think “anything could have prepared” him for fatherhood.
The 34-year-old actor – who has four-month-old daughter Iris with his wife Hannah Bagshawe – says becoming a father to the little girl has opened “different parts of his heart” and gives him something to smile at after a long day at work.
He said: “I don’t think anything can prepare you. The amazing thing is everything that everyone tells you beforehand – which is all cliché – is true. You’ve heard it all before and yet when you’re experiencing it, it feels like the first time and you suddenly start telling everyone these things as if they’re completely new and original thoughts. And they’re like, ‘Yeah that’s the cliché.’
“But all the things like different parts of your heart opening … it’s really extraordinary. There’s this amazing thing with children – whenever you’re having a bit of a tired moment or something, it’s like she’s always just one stop ahead of you, smiling you along. It’s great.”
And Eddie is looking forward to Iris being able to watch him in J.K. Rowling’s ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ – in which he plays magizoologist Newt Scamander – when she is older because he grew up watching the ‘Harry Potter’ films.
He added to Entertainment Tonight: “I feel like we grew up watching those films and getting to dive into that world every year or two. I used to find it so cozy.
“It was like getting a hug every year or two from J.K. Rowling and I love the idea of another generation having something similar. Even though ‘Fantastic Beasts’ is a different period, it’s still the ‘Harry Potter’ world. It’s still got that same warmth and kindness.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael J. Fox was told he would be “pretty much disabled” by now.
The 55-year-old actor was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease – a progressive condition which affects movement for which there is no cure – in 1991 aged 29, but has defied medical predictions and carried on working.
He said: “I was diagnosed 25 years ago, and I was only supposed to work for another 10 years. I was supposed to be pretty much disabled by now. I’m far from it. This is as bad as I get, and I can still go to the store and go marketing.”
While his tremors, one of the side effects of the disease, are not as bad as they used to be, Michael still has balance issues from time to time, but it hasn’t stopped him working as he starred as Louis Canning in ‘The Good Wife’ from 2010 up until earlier this year.
He said: “The biggest problem I have now is balance. That’s kind of tricky because you fall down a couple of times at 55 and you realise that you’re not 25.”
The father-of-four’s three daughters, twins Aquinnah and Schuyler, 21, and 14-year-old Esmé were all born after his diagnosis, while his son Sam, 27, was born beforehand, and he admits they don’t define him simply as someone with Parkinson’s.
He added to Haute Living magazine: “I mean, they grew up with this. It’s all they know, and I think if you asked them to describe me, the ninth thing they would say would be that I had Parkinson’s.”
In 2000, the ‘Back to the Future’ star set up the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and since then the foundation has funded an incredible $650 million to research in an attempt to achieve the star’s goal of finding a cure for the disease.
The fundraising ideas have included a New York City benefit show in 2013, where the likes of Coldplay performed, and earlier this year the foundation held a raffle to raise awareness of the disease which raised $6.75 million.
The full interview with Michael appears in Haute Living’s November/December issue.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jaden Smith chatted up Chloe Ferry at the MTV EMAs – thinking she was his ex Kylie Jenner.
The 18-year-old star openly admitted to the ‘Geordie Shore’ star that he initially went up to her because he thought she was the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ beauty – who he previously dated and is still pals with – but the pair got on well when they started speaking.
A source said: “Chloe got a shock when Jaden came bowling over to her but she lapped it up.
“He told her he thought she was Kylie Jenner who he used to date and is still friends with.”
Despite the initial confusion, Jaden and Chloe, 21, “flirted loads” and were said to have spent plenty of time with each other at the ceremony’s after-party.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: “After that they kept bumping into each other all night and got on really well.
“They spent a lot of time together at the after-party and flirted loads.”
However, Jaden was later spotted leaving the party with a different girl.
An insider told the publication: “Jaden left the after-party with a girl and went home with her. It seemed like he was having quite the night.”
Chloe was most recently romantically linked to fellow reality star Jon Clarke, and the pair went to McDonald’s for their first date.
Jaden was involved in an on/off relationship with Kylie, 19, for around three years and has been romantically linked to Sofia Richie, 18.
It’s fortunate Jaden was able to attend the EMAs as he recently admitted there was a stage in his life where he couldn’t go outside because he was a vampire.
He said: “During a period of my life, I was Gothic. I was only wearing black and I was hiding from the sun because I was a vampire.
“I was a vampire, for real. I could not expose myself to the sun and I was only wearing black trench coats.
“Now I’m not a vampire, I’m out of this phase. I open myself up to wear brighter things, to go out in daylight. I share much more mixed energy.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Will Smith’s father has died.
The 48-year-old actor’s ex-wife Sheree Fletcher – who he was married to from 1992 to 1995 – has revealed the star’s dad, Willard Carroll Smith, Sr., has sadly passed away.
Posting a picture of Will and his father with his son Trey, 23, who he has with Sheree, she wrote on Instagram: “We’re gonna miss you Daddio! You lived & played by your own rules…you truly were 1 of a kind! You instilled discipline, and a work ethic that has created a legacy in your honor! (Pic left to right: Will Smith II; Will Smith III (Trey); Will Smith I (Daddio!) #RIPDaddio #donttellmetheresnothingyoucantdo #WillSMITH1 (sic)”
Will – who also has kids Jaden, 18, and Willow, 16, with wife Jada Pinkett Smith – is yet to confirm the news.
Willard was a refrigeration engineer and a former member of the US Air Force.
In the book ‘Will Smith: A Biography’, it claims Will’s dad put him off doing drugs when he was younger by driving him to tough neighbourhoods in Philadelphia to show him what it was like for people on such substances.
On the fear of his father if he ever took drugs, he is quoted as saying: “I felt my father would kill me. Literally.”
Will has also previously praised his dad as a “steady and positive figure” in his life.
He once said: “Dad was tough but not tyrannical.
“He kept me in line. He’d get this look that said, ‘One more step, Will, and it’ll get ugly.’
“He was an independent businessman – he set up refrigeration in supermarkets – and he always provided for us. He’s a steady and positive figure in my life.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Khloé Kardashian works out twice a day.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star has become obsessed with health and wellbeing over the past two years and has admitted she doesn’t just train at 5am but also in the afternoon, although she doesn’t beat herself up if she snubs it.
Writing on her website Khloewithak.com, she said: “You never regret a workout, but you always regret not going. Recently, I flaked on my second workout because I just couldn’t do it! I felt bad about it at first, but told myself, ‘I did it already today.’ ”
And, although she’s really hot on her meal plan, the 31-year-old beauty doesn’t deny herself the odd treat here and there.
She explained: “I normally give myself what I crave, though–I just do it in moderation.
“I believe that if you want chocolate, go for it, but only have a handful…or else you’re definitely going to binge later.”
Portion control is something the blonde beauty has been fixated on since last year and she has worked “really hard” to cut down the amount of grub she shovels into her mouth.
She said recently: “It’s really hard. You have to train your body to eat less. Your eyes are bigger than your stomach. I had to train myself to drink more water. I drink like 5 litres of water a day.”
The ‘Strong Looks Better Naked’ author also finds it easier to diet if she swaps “common foods” for healthier replacements.
She explained: “My biggest tip for starting off strong is to swap out some common foods you eat for healthier versions.
“Instead of serving a cream cheese based dip at a party, set out high protein hummus. Bonus points if you serve with veggies instead of crackers. White pasta is high in refined carbs, which means it won’t keep you full for very long. Vegetable noodles made from zucchini or squash are so much better for you and taste just as good with tomato sauce.
“Replace salty potato chips that are packed with fatty oils with baked kale chips. I swear these can be addicting!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Idris Elba reportedly left the MTV European Music Awards after party “hand-in-hand” with Jourdan Dunn on Sunday (06.11.16).
The ‘Luther’ hunk set tongues wagging over the weekend when he was spotted flirting up a storm with the 26-year-old supermodel at the post-ceremony bash in Rotterdam, Holland, before he persuaded her to leave with him at 2:30am.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “The VIP area was swarming with celebrities keen to let down their hair after the ceremony.
“Idris took a table tucked away in the corner with comfy sofas and was talking to a number of girls earlier in the night. But Jourdan joined his table later on in the evening and he was clearly interested in her. He was very flirty and was acting like a single man. At about 2.30am they left holding hands.”
The pair had initially bonded earlier on in the evening when they both presented awards during the ceremony at the Ahoy Rotterdam arena before heading off to the backstage bash.
The news that the 44-year-old hunk has a soft spot for Jourdan will no doubt come as a surprise to fans as he revealed in May that he had reconciled with make-up artist Naiyana Garth when they appeared together at the BAFTA TV Awards in London.
However, the on/off couple – who have two-year-old son Winston together – haven’t been seen publicly since the ceremony.
Idris is no stranger to failed relationships as he’s been married twice before to Sonya Nicole Hamlin and Hanne “Kim” Norgaard, with whom he has 14-year-old daughter Isan.
Jourdan, on the other hand, hasn’t had much luck on the love front either as she’s recently split with former boxer Younes Bendjima, who is now reportedly dating Kourtney Kardashian.
Prior to that she was in a relationship with Daniel Sturridge for almost a year until their romance came crashing down in 2014.
Jourdan has six-year-old son Riley with Jordan Cummings.

OHMYGOSSIP — Shakira has been forced to cancel her forthcoming award show appearances in the US for “personal” reasons.
The ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ hitmaker has pulled out of the Latin Grammy Awards on November 17 at Las Vegas’ Mobile Arena and the American Music Awards on November 20 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles because of private matters.
Taking to her Twitter account on Monday (07.11.16), she said: “Due to personal matters, I won’t be able to travel to Las Vegas & LA to attend the @LatinGRAMMYs or the @AMAs this year.
“I will be accompanying @carlosvives in spirit @LatinGRAMMYs, celebrating this incredible year that we’ve shared together with #LaBicicleta (sic).”
Although the 39-year-old singer refused to elaborate further on the reasons behind her cancellation, the curly-haired beauty recently admitted that her husband Gerard Pique’s busy soccer schedule means she’s regularly anchored down in Barcelona.
She said: “It’s like being married to a soldier, except that he doesn’t die in battle.
“Gerard is anchored to Barcelona and can’t travel – they get a few days off a month, but otherwise he has to be there for his team every day pretty much, training and playing matches.
“This has been a learning curve for me, because I like to travel a lot and I’m like, ‘What do you mean, you can’t go? Let’s go!’ ”
Despite her frustration, Shakira is keen for her sons Milan, three, and Sasha, 22 months, to grow up playing sports.
She explained: “But it’s interesting too, because I have been playing solo for all of my life and it’s very different to live with a person who has to think about his team and be mindful of them as well as of himself. That’s why I want my kids to learn all about sports even if they don’t end up doing it professionally – the way it shapes the personality of children is just fantastic.”
