Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth marry

OHMYGOSSIP — Shia LaBeouf and his long term girlfriend Mia Goth have got married.
The 30-year-old actor exchanged his vows with the actress in Las Vegas, with a ceremony that was anything but traditional.
According to TMZ.com, the pair got hitched at Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel – a place known for its themed weddings – and in pictures posted by the site it seems the couple decided to go for a combination of themes including Elvis Presley and Hawaiian.
The wedding was officiated by a man dressed as Elvis himself, who couldn’t resist throwing in the odd reference to the late King of Rock n’ Roll.
In a video posted by TMZ, he said: “Mia and Shia, do you promise to adopt each other’s hound dogs? Not to wear your blue suede shoes in the rain? To always be each other’s teddy bear? And to give each other a hunka hunka burning love? Promise? Alright, well by the power invested in me – The King – I now pronounce you to be man and wife. Now Sir, you may kiss your lovely bride.”
The ceremony appeared to be all too much for the ‘Transformers’ star, as he began to cry as he kissed his new bride.
Shia and Mia met on the set of ‘Nymphomaniac: Volume II’ in 2012, and have been dating on and off ever since. Engagement speculation first started circulating in March when Mia, 22, was seen at a Miu Miu show during Paris Fashion Week with a ring on her finger.
Neither of the pair made their engagement public knowledge, and in July 2015 it was speculated that the couple had split after the ‘Holes’ actor was caught on tape threatening Mia.

Kris Jenner breaks silence on Kim Kardashian West robbery

OHMYGOSSIP — Kris Jenner has broken her silence following Kim Kardashian West’s robbery.
The 60-year-old reality star took to Instagram on Monday (10.10.16) to share a sombre message which hints at the ordeal that her 35-year-old daughter was subject to last week after she was robbed at gunpoint by five armed men.
The post read: “Every morning is a reminder of how blessed we are. Today I am grateful for my family, who I love more than words can explain. Count your blessings, be grateful always, and cherish every moment you spend with your loved ones.”
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star then captioned the photo with: “#blessed #family #love #grateful (sic)”
Although the momager has posted on Instagram twice since the events of Kim’s robbery – once to send her thoughts to Haiti in the wake of Hurricane Matthew, and once to promote daughter Kylie Jenner’s new lip kit – this marks the first post she has made on the subject of Kim.
Kris’ heartfelt words come just days after Kourtney Kardashian – who along with Kendall Jenner was in Paris at the time of the robbery – also broke her silence on the matter by tweeting a picture of a quote from her daily devotional book.
The passage read: “Remember that joy is not dependent on your circumstances. Some of the world’s most miserable people are those whose circumstances seem the most enviable. People who reach the top of the ladder career-wise are often surprised to find emptiness awaiting them. True Joy is a by-product of living in My Presence. Therefore, you can experience it in palaces, in prisons … anywhere.
“Do not judge a day as devoid of Joy just because it contains difficulties. Instead, concentrate on staying in communication with Me. Many of the problems that clamour for your attention will resolve themselves.”

Demi Lovato met her development coach after mushroom trip

OHMYGOSSIP — Demi Lovato met her personal development coach after “a bad mushroom trip”.
The 24-year-old singer has suffered from depression, bulimia, and substance abuse in the past, and Mike Bayer – the mental health expert who helped her overcome her addictions – has revealed it was a particularly strong dose of the drug magic mushrooms that made the ‘Confident’ hitmaker want to turn her life around.
Speaking to ET Canada, he said: “We met after a bad mushroom trip. She asked for help and she had called her therapist and another person, both had said, ‘Call Mike Bayer.'”
Now, the ‘Cool for the Summer’ musician can boast that she is in much better health, and has turned her efforts to helping others who suffer in the same ways she did. She now co-owns the CAST Centre in Los Angeles alongside Mike, and the pair work together to help people become the “best version of themselves”.
Mike said: “CAST initially was holding a broken bone in place until it could heal. Now what we’ve been able to do is help really empower people to be the best version of themselves.
“We treat addiction, psychiatric disorders, anxiety, depression, and in a different program we help people who just want to be better. Who want to do better in their job, they may be struggling in their marriage, and so we help a wide range.”
And Mike admits he believes Demi is a “miracle”, as she’s overcome her issues and is now able to talk about them publicly.
He said: “Demi has done a complete 180. She’s the biggest pop star on the planet who talks about her issues in a public way. That is a miracle in the entertainment biz.”
And the ‘Skyscraper’ singer is determined to use her voice for more than just singing, as she said previously she wants to use her status to “help people”.
She said: “It sounds ridiculous but, like, I kind of made a pact with God.
“And I don’t even think you’re supposed to do that, but I was, like, I promised, ‘If you make me a singer one day, I’m going to use my voice for so much more than singing, and I’m going to help people with it.’ ”

Angelina Jolie threatens to sue Perez Hilton

OHMYGOSSIP — Angelina Jolie is threatening to sue Perez Hilton.
The lawyers for the 41-year-old actress – Bert Fields and Priya Sapori – have emailed the celebrity blogger to ask him to change certain aspects of his report on her split from Brad Pitt, or else he will face legal action.
Posting a screenshot of his email response on Instagram, the 37-year-old star wrote: “In other news, #AngelinaJolie’s lawyers at Greenberg Glusker have just threatened to sue me for my coverage of her split from #BradPitt. ME!! I have always been one of Angelina Jolie’s loudest and strongest supporters and defenders!!!!! This was my email back to Angelina’s lawyers, #BertFields and#PriyaSapori. Glad I’m not running for president!! (sic)”
And the outspoken star isn’t going down without a fight, as his response to the ‘Maleficent’ star’s lawyers said he wasn’t “changing anything” about his article, and that he demanded an “apology” from Angelina herself.
The response read: “Please get this message to Angelina Jole herself. She KNOWS … I have ALWAYS been a huge fan and SUPPORTER of hers!! I am livid!!! Unless she wants to turn me into an enemy, I want an apology right now. I am not changing anything. If you want to sue me, my lawyer is Brian Freedman and he is CC’d. I did nothing illegal. We stand 100% behind our reporting. F**k YOU. And suck my d**k! (sic)”
Meanwhile, Angelina recently swapped Malibu for the Hidden Hills in California, as she moved homes to a lavish new estate that boasts two swimming pools. The new pad has plenty of room for her six children – Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Vivienne and Knox, eight – whom she recently secured physical custody of in a temporary custody deal.
It was previously claimed that Angelina decided to end her two-year marriage to the 52-year-old actor because she was worried their constant fighting was not fair to the children.
An insider said: “[Angelina] did try to make it work, but her kids come first, and she couldn’t let them see Mommy and Daddy like this. The fighting got worse, and they disagreed a lot about parenting and a lot of things.”

Shailene Woodley arrested for tresspassing

OHMYGOSSIP — Shailene Woodley has been arrested for trespassing.
The 24-year-old actress was protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline, which aims to transport crude oil from the North Dakota Bakken region through South Dakota and Iowa into Illinois, crossing the Missouri River.
The star was among a reported 100 protestors who turned up to the construction site for a peaceful protest, amid concerns that the pipeline project could potentially cause irreversible harm to the drinking water for the Standing Rock community – who live just one mile from the river – as well as the river’s ecosystem.
In a video posted by TMZ.com, the ‘Divergent’ star said: “I was just walking back to the RV which is right there, so we could go back to camp peacefully. They grabbed me by the jacket and they said I wasn’t allowed to continue. They have giant guns and batons and zip ties and they’re not letting me go.”
‘The Fault in Our Stars’ actress then asked a police officer if she could talk to him, and he told her she was being “placed under arrest”.
The officer said: “We can’t talk right here, but right now you’re being placed under arrest for criminal trespassing, alright?”
Shailene then asked the officer why she is being arrested, when she claims that – out of the reported 100 protestors – “no-one else is”.
The officer responded: “Because you were identified.”
The beauty then proceeded to tell the camera that she was being placed under arrest because she was “well known”.
She said: “I’m being arrested. Because I was trespassing, like everyone else. But as soon as you guys asked me to leave, I left.
“I’m being arrested! I was down there with everybody else! I don’t know what’s going on, as soon as they came I left. It’s because I’m well known, it’s because I have 40,000 people watching.”
Shailene isn’t the first star to protest the pipeline plans either, as the cast of DC Comic’s ensemble movie ‘Justice League’ – comprised of Ben Affleck, Ray Fisher, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, and Ezra Miller – recently posted a video urging people to get involved in the movement to stop the proposed plans.
Ezra Miller said in the video: “As a gang of earth defenders, we want to send a big shout out to the Oceti Sakowin and those who stand with them in opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline. To get involved with this movement go to thesacredstonecamp.org.”

Kendall Jenner wants a fan to be her photography muse

OHMYGOSSIP — Kendall Jenner wants a fan to be her next photography subject.
The 20-year-old reality star has teamed up with LOVE Magazine in order to further her photography career, and the publication is calling for a fan to take up the modelling position and star on the cover of their bi-annual magazine that will hit the shelves in February 2017.
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star is working closely with the publication’s Editor-in-Chief Katie Grand, with the hope that they will find a muse who “represents something new, meaningful and specific.”
The press release for the project reads: “This is not a model competition. The aim is to find someone who represents something new, meaningful and specific to the current age. To discover a face that represents the times; a personality that in previous decades might have shone through, but which cannot make it through popular culture in its current state, gridlocked by corporate interests. Everyone is welcome to put themselves forward.”
Applicants can apply for the job by posting a picture of themselves with a small description of who they are on Twitter and Instagram, using the hashtag ‘#LOVEME17’. Alternatively, candidates are able to email their picture and description to loveme@condenast.co.uk
A total of 20 lucky finalists will then be whisked off to LA in November for the photo shoot, and will also be interviewed for the issue.
It isn’t the first time Kendall has picked up a camera for the magazine either, as she previously shot Kaia Gerber in July for the publication’s Autumn/Winter 2016 issue. The opportunity first presented itself when Katie, 45, noticed the star’s knack for photography on her Instagram.
Speaking about hiring Kendall as a photographer, Katie said: “I’d liked some of her Instagram posts where she had obviously ‘composed’ the images more thoughtfully than an average snap, so I asked her to take some pictures for the issue.”
Applications for the shoot are open to anyone between the age of 15 and 35.

Wrestling star Paige has been suspended

OHMYGOSSIP — World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star Paige has been suspended.
The 24-year-old wrestler – real name Saraya-Jade Bevis – has reportedly been suspended from competing in the sport for 60 days for violating the company’s “talent wellness policy”.
A statement posted on WWE.com reads: “WWE has suspended Saraya-Jade Bevis (Paige) for 60 days effective immediately, for her second violation of the company’s talent wellness policy.”
The wellness policy aims to make sure that every WWE star is fit and healthy, by checking things such as substance abuse and drug testing.
A definition of the policy on the company’s website reads: “The Substance Abuse and Drug Testing Policy prohibits the use of drugs by WWE talent for other than a legitimate medical purpose pursuant to a valid prescription from a licensed and treating physician.”
The news comes after the two-time Divas Champion was previously suspended for violating the same policy back in August, along with her partner Alberto Del Rio. At the time, reports suggested that the suspension came as a result of Paige being on holiday with Alberto, 39, and when neither of them were able to make it to their unannounced drugs test, they were both suspended.
Paige – whose 308-day reign as the NXT Women’s Champion is the longest in the title’s history – took to Twitter on Monday (10.10.16) to vent her anger at the company’s decision, hinting that she had produced doctor’s notes that were branded as “not acceptable”.
She tweeted: “Same s**t different day. Kids..Please don’t get prescriptions or doctors notes. Not acceptable.
Rules apply depending on your status. (sic)”
Paige will be out of action for another two months following the latest suspension of the star.

OHMYGOSSIP — Geri Horner is pregnant.
The former Spice Girls singer – who already has 10-year-old daughter Bluebell from a past relationship – and her husband Christian Horner, 42, are “overjoyed” to be expecting their first child together.
A spokesperson for the 44-year-old star confirmed: “Geri and Christian are absolutely delighted to announce they are expecting their first child together.
“The couple are overjoyed with the good news and cannot wait to welcome the newest addition to their family.”
Geri borrowed a line from her single ‘It’s Raining Men’ to announce her happy news on Instagram.
She wrote: “God bless Mother Nature #mamaspice (sic)”
She also shared as sketch of a heavily pregnant woman alongside the caption.
Geri previously described Formula One boss Christian – who she married last year – as her “best friend”.
She said: “My husband is my best friend. He knows me inside out, I don’t edit myself with him. It was a big learning curve.”
And late last year, the ‘Lift Me Up’ hitmaker admitted she and Christian – who has a three-year-old daughter, Olivia, from a past relationship – would love to have another child and would even consider adoption.
She said: “If it happens it happens and that will be amazing. But we are already blessed with two girls.
“We might think about adoption but to be honest, we know we are so lucky and so happy with things as they are, you have to realise when not to push your luck.”

Naomie Harris: I want Daniel Craig back as James Bond

OHMYGOSSIP — Naomie Harris wants Daniel Craig to return as James Bond.
The 40-year-old British actress played Eve Moneypenny in the last two 007 films ‘Skyfall’ and ‘Spectre’ and although there has been relentless speculation about Craig’s future as the fictional spy she is in no doubt about having him back in the tuxedo, gun in-hand.
In an interview with Newsweek, Harris was asked whether or not Daniel would be returning to the franchise, to which she replied: “I don’t know … I would love him back, of course, but I have no inside information, I’m afraid.”
Even if Craig does decide to hand back his license to kill after four big screen outings, Harris intends to stay on as Moneypenny in the franchise for as long as producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli want her in the role.
The ‘Moonlight’ star said: “The Bond family are like my second family. I love being part of that franchise. Absolutely, I’d go back.”
Since ‘Spectre’ was released in 2015, there has been endless rumours about Craig’s future as 007 with Tom Hiddleston, Aidan Turner and Idris Elba all tipped to take over the iconic action role.
Craig – who made his debut as Bond in 2007’s ‘Casino Royale’ -finally addressed the rumours himself at the weekend while taking part in the Beyond Bond Q&A session at the New Yorker Festival, and hinted will return as the MI6 secret agent.
He said: “I’ve got the best job in the world doing Bond. The things I get to do on a Bond movie and the type of work it is, there’s no other job like it.
“If I were to stop doing it – just say – I’d miss it terribly. It’s one of the most thrilling things as an actor you can do. I love this job. I get a massive kick out of it. And, if I can keep getting a kick out of it, I will.”

Kim Kardashian West hires Secret Service staff

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West has added former Secret Service members to her security detail.
The 35-year-old star and her husband Kanye West are beefing up security after she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris last week, and her new detail will include former government protection officers.
According to TMZ, at least two armed bodyguards will now accompany Kim wherever she goes, and her car will be armoured.
After the robbery, which saw the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star tied up and locked in her bathroom while the gunmen stole over $10 million worth of jewellery, Kim met with former Israeli army officers, ex-CIA agents and past Secret Service members, while her rapper husband staged meetings with the owners of two top security firms.
Kim’s mother and manager Kris Jenner has been heavily involved in the security meetings, and one of her priorities is securing extra bodyguards to protect her daughters Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
Kim’s regular bodyguard, Pascal Douvier – who was out with her sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner at the time of the robbery – sparked speculation he had been fired a few days ago after removing all traces of the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star from his Instagram account.
However, insiders told TMZ that Kim and Kanye – who have children North, three, and Saint, 10 months, together don’t blame him for what happened and still trust Pascal implicitly.
Instead, the security guard removed the pictures as a safety measure in order to prevent any future would-be attackers from contacting him or learning more information about Kim’s whereabouts.
Pascal was spotted in Chicago at the weekend looking after the ‘Famous’ rapper, who had a gig in the city.

Christian Nicole Scherzinger wants marriage before babies

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Scherzinger will only start a family once she is married – because of her Christian faith.
The ‘X Factor’ judge is currently dating 25-year-old tennis ace Grigor Dimitrov and readily admits it is one of her goals to have a baby but she won’t get pregnant until she has made the ultimate relationship commitment in front of her family and friends with God as her witness.
In an exclusive interview with Yahoo News, Nicole, 38, shared: “My faith comes first, I mean I need to find a husband and then I’ll have some kids, so it’s everything in its own divine time. Yes I have been focused on my career and no I haven’t been like, ‘This year I’m going to find a husband and have kids.’ That will happen when it’s supposed to happen and I can’t wait for it to happen, the day when I’m married, have kids and running a family while still doing my career.”
Nicole may be 13 years older than Bulgarian sportsman Grigor but she insists she never thinks about the age difference between them, although she acknowledges she now has “timelines” in place for things she wants to achieve in her life.
The American singer said: “I’m 38 years old and I feel like I’m 25, it really is more about where you are in your life. Now I’ve finally grown up, I’m at an age where I need to take a step back and really set life goals and really set timelines for myself … Because one day you wake up and you’re like, ‘Wow seven years just went by just like that.'”
Nicole’s most famous relationship was with Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton.
The pair called time on their near eight-year on/off relationship in February 2015, but vowed to remain friends even though things didn’t work out.
The former Pussycat Dolls star insists her “greatest weakness is love” as she is a “sucker and a fool” for romance.

The Take That singer has announced he is expecting his second child with wife Katie Halil, just 10 months after their son Bowie was born.
And though the couple are thrilled with the news, they’re not looking forward to more sleepless nights.
He tweeted: “Guess what? Me and katie are happy to announce we will have our 2nd child in Feb. Yay! No more sleep for another 2 years! (sic)”

He tweeted at the time: “Bowie Taylan Donald came into this world on Tues 12th Jan. Mummy and daddy suffering sleep deprivation but life is wonderful, he is divine.”
Earlier that week, the ‘Never Forget’ hitmaker had paid tribute to “genius” singer David and recalled the time he and former bandmate Jason Orange met the ‘Moonage Daydream’ hitmaker.
He tweeted: “Feel very honoured that I have a photo of me and jay with David Bowie. When we did TOTP. What a genius and a great loss. RIP.(sic)”

Speaking to the presenter, Hilary said: “”He wants to be a Ghostbuster this year.
“He’s obsessed with ‘Ghostbusters’, obsessed with Slimer. He learned the whole song…it’s so good. He’s so serious about it, you guys.”
Ellen then broadcast a clip of Luca singing the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme, before revealing the Ecto-1 vehicle she’d had made, which came complete with real steam flowing out of it.
And Hilary, 29, was overjoyed with the surprise gift.
She exclaimed: “He’s going to freak out! Do I fit in this thing? It has steam coming out of it! He’s going to lose his mind.”

She said: “I’ve been very honest about this that I don’t know how much time I have to put into [music]. I don’t have dreams to go on a world tour anymore.
“Maybe some day, but right now, my life is so full and busy enough with the show. I love music, it’s in me, it’s a part of me but I look at my kid and go you’re a teenager already…It’s scary to think time is going by so fast and I want to be present for all of that.
“Honestly, I’m so pumped to be a soccer mom and making lunches to pack to school and not being on anybody else’s schedule for a minute.”

Kristen Stewart not 'ashamed'

OHMYGOSSIP — Kristen Stewart isn’t “ashamed or confused” about her sexuality.
The 26-year-old actress – who recently sparked speculation she has split from long-term partner Alicia Cargile after being spotted out a number of times with Cara Delevingne’s ex-girlfriend St. Vincent – thinks society has changed for the better and people are now more accepting of others.
She told America’s Elle magazine: “I’m not ashamed and I’m not confused.
“Things have changed. And not just with me – we’re really allowed to encourage this new acceptance and be awesome.”
Following months of speculation, the ‘Cafe Society’ actress – who previously dated her ‘Twilight’ co-star Robert Pattinson for five years – confirmed her relationship with Alicia in July.
She said: “Right now I’m just really in love with my girlfriend. We’ve broken up a couple of times and gotten back together, and this time I was like, ‘Finally, I can feel again.’ ”
The ‘Equals’ actress admitted she is more open about her personal life now she’s in a same-sex relationship and feels much happier that she is being less closed off to people.
She said: “When I was dating a guy I was hiding everything that I did because everything personal felt like it was immediately trivialised, so I didn’t like it.
“We were turned into these characters and placed into this ridiculous comic book, and I was like, ‘That’s mine. You’re making my relationship something that it’s not.’ I didn’t like that.
“But then it changed when I started dating a girl.
“I was like, ‘Actually, to hide this provides the implication that I’m not down with it or I’m ashamed of it, so I had to alter how I approached being in public. It opened my life up and I’m so much happier.”
