OHMYGOSSIP — Lady Gaga still “loves” her ex-fiancé Taylor Kinney.
The 30-year-old singer songwriter – who ended her five-year romance with the ‘Chicago Fire’ actor in July this year – adores her former partner and counts him as her “best friend”, but implies in her new album ‘Joanne’ their romance was a “perfect illusion”.
Speaking to E! News about her relationship with the dark-haired heartthrob, she said: “I would just say that my music on my album as well as all my albums is inspired by my personal life and this one more than others.
“I have said it before – I love Taylor so much and he’s my best friend.”
And the blonde beauty has revealed her song ‘Perfect Illusion’, which features the line “It wasn’t love. It was a perfect illusion”, and the accompanying music video is a reflection of how she felt during their relationship together.
She explained: “This video is a performance of a song that I wrote of that moment about how I feel, but how I’m sure he’s felt sometimes, how you have felt sometimes, how other people feel in relationships, how I see my friends struggle and become just full of rage and anger as they try to figure out how to date during a time when everybody’s sort of creating these perfect illusions of themselves on the Internet and nobody really knows what’s real and what isn’t. It’s about all of that.
And the ‘Bad Romance’ hitmaker has revealed she never rehearsed prior to shooting the video for the song.
She explained: “Nothing was choreographed. I didn’t rehearse any of those things that you see in the video. Everything in that was just completely in the moment – pure, raw performance of how I feel.
“The intention was there to be no perfect illusions in the video about perfect illusions.”

OHMYGOSSIP — George and Amal Clooney enjoyed a “very civilised” second anniversary.
The couple celebrated two years of marriage on September 27 and the 55-year-old hunk marked the occasion by cooking a meal for his lawyer spouse.
Asked how they celebrated, he joked: “We mostly drank.”
He then added to ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I made dinner and we had a very romantic second anniversary. Very civilised.”
However, George admitted his spouse isn’t always a fan of his cooking.
He told E! News: “I don’t think she’s ever quite impressed with my cooking.
“If I slap something together– spaghetti and meatballs –she doesn’t know that it comes in a jar, so I can just fool her with that one.”
Before tying the knot with Amal, the ‘Monuments Men’ star – who was previously married to actress Talia Balsam – had vowed never to wed again and he poked fun at his previous reputation as a ladies’ man when discussing his marriage.
He quipped: “And they said it wouldn’t last. Ah, we proved them wrong!”
George also praised his “heroic” wife for her work as a human rights lawyer, pointing to her representation of a young woman, Nadia, who was sold as a slave to terrorist organisation ISIS, as an example of how she defies “risk” to represent cases she believes in.
He said: “Of course I’m proud of her. Yeah, it comes with risk.
“You spend an afternoon with that young woman [Nadia], there’s no way you couldn’t stand up for her. She’s so brave. She’s the one who’s the bravest because she’s in the most dangerous [situation].
“I think Amal’s decision to [represent her] was, of course, heroic.”
Last year, George and Amal celebrated their first anniversary with a low-key dinner at the Sunset Tower Hotel’s Tower Bar in West Hollywood, and the ‘Ocean’s 11’ star admitted he hadn’t wanted to go all out for the occasion as he intended to make more elaborate plans as time went on.
He said at the time: “This is the paper anniversary you don’t want to go too crazy on the first, you know, you’ve got a lot more to do.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West has arrived in New York.
The 35-year-old beauty flew out of Paris, France, on Monday (10.03.16), hours after being robbed at gunpoint, and her husband Kanye West – who cut short his headlining set at the Meadows Music & Arts Festival after learning of the terrifying incident – was spotted leaving his apartment to head to a local airport to meet his spouse, her mother Kris Jenner and the momager’s boyfriend Corey Gamble, TMZ reports.
When the group arrived at their residence, they were accompanied by 10 vehicles, 15-20 bodyguards – including Pascal Duvier, Kim’s minder who was not with her when the robbery took place – and a number of local police officers
Meanwhile, hours after Kim – who has children North, three, and Saint, nine months, with Kanye – flew out of Europe, her half-sister Kendall Jenner has followed suit, leaving the George V Hotel by a side door exit, before being taken by a black van to board a private plane.
According to People magazine, the 20-year-old model had been expected to appear at the Chanel show at Paris Fashion week on Tuesday (10.04.16), but it now seems that isn’t the case.
Kim – who was tied up and locked in the bathroom while raiders dressed as policemen stole millions of dollars worth of jewelry and two iPhones – was staying at an exclusive private residence in Paris, and is has now been claimed the apartment wasn’t a holiday rental, but has been owned by Kanye for several years.
A source said: “It’s their home.”
Another insider claimed that was why the robbery was “so well planned out”.
They added to the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column: “They knew exactly what room, etc.”
Kim was left “badly shaken” but not hurt by the incident.

OHMYGOSSIP — Fans shouted “potato” every time Noel Gallagher’s name was mentioned at the Oasis documentary premiere in Manchester on Sunday (02.10.16).
Noel, 49, didn’t attend the screening of ‘Supersonic’, which tells the band’s story up to their performances to over 250,000 people at Knebworth Park in 2006, and the crowd delighted Liam, 44, by yelling out his new nickname for his estranged brother.
Liam blasted his brother for not attending the premiere, saying: “He’s far too busy in his big house. He’s probably eating tofu right now as we speak with a face peel on. That’s what they get up to, these posh people.”
While the documentary only tells the story of the band – which split in 2009 after a huge fight between the Gallagher brothers – up until 1996, Liam is already hoping for a sequel.
He said: “We can do the downfall of Oasis, which would be equally as fucking entertaining, if not better. If you’re gonna lose the plot – lose it properly. This is just half time now.”
Liam also says getting locked up in a cell and sent back to the UK during a ferry trip in Holland was his personal favourite memory from the movie and mocked Noel for his anger over the incident.
He said: “Going ‘how f**king dare you behave like this. You’ll never get respected as proper rock and roll stars getting kicked off a ferry and f**king about and drinking…’ F**k off. That was great. Our kid was only f**king gutted because he was sat in his bunker reading Shakespeare.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ciara’s wedding was the “most perfect day” of her life.
The ‘Goodies’ hitmaker tied the knot with Seattle Seahawks player Russell Wilson, 27, in the UK in July and the celebration was everything she’d dreamed it would be.
She said: “I definitely can say it was two of the most perfect days in my life. The day before and the day of the actual wedding was a special time.
“When we get married, we only get it once, you can’t repeat it. So, it was like, man, it’s over already?
“It was honestly so beautiful and I really felt like I was in a fairy tale. It was everything I hoped for. Everything I could have hoped for, dreamed of, happened on that day. It was memorable.
“We spent two days with all the people that we love, your family and your close friends. I’m definitely still floating, it’s only three months ago and it’s crazy how time goes by.”
Ciara is mother to two-year-old son Future Jr., who she has with former fiance Future, and she credits the youngster for helping her stay “grounded” and motivating her every day.
She told #Legend magazine: “Motherhood, oh my gosh, it’s one of the best jobs in life. My family, my son and my husband, those are the things that keep me grounded and centred and there’s no better feeling than coming back and seeing him smile after a long day.
“You put him in a bath, you put him in bed, read a book, those moments are great to end the day and keeps life in perspective because all your child wants from you is love.
“They don’t care about a lot of the things we care about anyway. Being a mom is part of what motivates me in my every day life.”
And the 30-year-old star thinks motherhood has made her more responsible and less of a perfectionist.
She said: “[Motherhood] makes you really understand the definition of being responsible.
“Because now it’s like, every decision I make affects not only my life, but it affects his life.
“And having my child has really propelled me to focus even more on not only what I want personally, and then also as a businesswoman. It really helps you lock things down…
“That pure love, that instant love makes you realise a lot of things don’t matter. You don’t sweat the small stuff as much. Back in the day, before my child, I was such a perfectionist, you can put so much attention on some things but then you realise it really doesn’t matter tomorrow. I can see that now, and focus on things that really matter.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mandy Moore has reportedly been left with debt on two credit cards after finalising her divorce from Ryan Adams.
The ‘This Is Us’ actress – who married the 41-year-old musician in 2009 but filed for a divorce in January 2015 – has finally come to an agreement with the singer/songwriter, which sees her come away with a large balance to pay off on two bank cards the couple shared.
According to Los Angeles Superior Court documents, which have been obtained by RadarOnline.com, the 32-year-old star has been allowed to keep the pair’s Los Angeles home, a condo situated in Beverly Hills, two bank accounts and the money owed on them.
The star has also been awarded her own clothes, jewellery, and pieces of artwork she owned, as well as a Toyota Prius made in 2013.
The ‘Come Pick me Up’ hitmaker has also come away with his own personal belongings including a 1959 Cadillac, his comic book collection and a number of gaming devices including a pinball machine.
Following the settlement Ryan has also been granted a 2008 Porsche Carrera, all musical instruments he acquired during their six-year marriage, as well as any recordings, compositions he has produced and the accompanying copyrights to them.
And although the ‘Tangled’ star has since embarked on a new romance with the Dawes singer Taylor Goldsmith six months after her break-up, she had moments where she was “curled up in a ball on the floor” as she dealt with the breakdown of her marriage.
Speaking previously, she said: “My story deviated in a different direction than I expected.
“But ultimately, life is about being happy and fulfilled and sometimes that means making hard choices.
“There are moments of being curled up in a ball on the floor. It’s really hard. But I’ve moved on and progressed in the stages of grief and being angry and feeling the loss and all that. I do believe things happen for a reason. And I think I had that mantra moving through the trying times.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Madonna has filed a court case against the owners of her apartment building for not allowing her family into her home.
The 58-year-old singer is reportedly suing One West 64th Street for enforcing strict rules, which forbid her from allowing people including her children Lourdes, 19, Rocco, 16, Mercy, 10, and David, 11, as well as her staff, into a second unit she owns in the block and staying when she is not there.
The ‘Music’ hitmaker has insisted the owners knew Madonna’s status and lifestyle and did not object to letting others stay when she first moved into the property 12 years ago, four years before she bought the second apartment.
In Manhattan Court Papers, which have been obtained by the New York Post newspaper, the ‘Material Girl’ hitmaker said: “At that time, I was, and still am, a world-known performing artist.
“At that time, One West knew or should have known that I travelled extensively and owned other residences.’
“[The building] is a place I call home. It is there that I have my cherished personal effects and property such as artwork, paintings, sculpture, special furniture and the like.”
Madonna’s team of lawyers are staging a defense based on the roommate law, which gives the tenant the right to use her home for “immediate family, a roommate and the children of the roommate”.
And the legal documentation argues One West “never” objected previously to people staying when she wasn’t there, and insists it is an unenforceable rule.
The documents state: “Certainly such a requirement is ridiculous and impossible for almost any family to comply with, and certainly not someone with plaintiff’s itinerant schedule.
“To be sure, One West knew the plaintiff’s living, working, traveling lifestyle as a celebrated entertainer when she purchased the apartment; One West never objected.”
Despite her extensive travelling, the ‘Ray of Light’ hitmaker maintains the apartment is her primary home.
She said: “I would like to have my children and a domestic employee reside . . . with me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — A photographer is reportedly being questioned after Kim Kardashian West was robbed at gunpoint.
The reality TV star was left “badly shaken” after armed robbers dressed as police officers got into her private apartment in Paris in the early hours of Monday (03.10.16) morning.
And according to Us Weekly, a photographer who has been following the 35-year-old beauty since she arrived in France for Paris Fashion Week is being questioned by police over the terrifying incident because he gained access to a restaurant where she was dining with her family a few days ago by posing as a policeman.
Officers are said to believe the crime was committed by a “highly organised” gang, who had spent a lot of time planning the robbery.
Kim has now flown out of France via a private jet, but the apartment she had been staying in has been surrounded by police all day, with forensic officers spotted searching for clues at the luxury residence, which is situated on Rue Tronchet in the TK Arondissment.
Five men had duped the concierge of the building into directing them to the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star’s apartment, before he was handcuffed, tied up, gagged and hidden in a cupboard in the stairwell of the building.
Two men then got into Kim’s room and tied her up, before locking her in the bathroom and making off with millions of dollars worth of jewellery and two cell phones.
It is believed the missing items – including a ring and contents of a jewellery box – were from Kim’s personal collection, not jewellery she had borrowed to wear during fashion week.
Her husband Kanye West was performing in New York at the time but stopped halfway through after he was told what had happened to his wife.
During his song ‘Heartless’, he told the crowd: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Family emergency, I have to stop the show.”
Kanye was the headliner for the Meadows Music & Arts Festival but a festival rep came on stage about 10 minutes after he left and said the set was cancelled as Kanye was no longer on the site.

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Brown is unlikely to be charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
The ‘Beautiful People’ hitmaker was accused by beauty queen Baylee Curran of pulling a gun on her during a row over jewellery at his home in August, and though he was arrested and booked over the alleged incident, the Los Angeles’ District Attorney’s office are said to feel there is not enough evidence to move forward with the case.
The case was supposed to be submitted to prosecutors two weeks ago, but authorities got a two-week extension in order to gather more evidence.
Sources told TMZ the DA are unconvinced by the claims made by Baylee, who gave a number of interviews following the alleged incident.
And though Chris threw a duffel bag containing two guns out of his window during a stand-off with police, authorities are said to be worried they can’t definitively link the weapons to the 27-year-old singer.
If Chris isn’t charged with assault with a deadly weapon, police could seek prosecution for misdeanour assault, but that is also likely to prove unsuccessful.
Two weeks ago, officials from Los Angeles’ Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) went to speak to the singer, with insiders believing an investigation from child protective services had been opened following a complaint from Nia Guzman, the mother of the ‘Yeah 3x’ hitmaker’s two-year-old daughter Royalty, in connection with the alleged gun incident.
The DCFS representatives were accompanied by police officers on their visit to Chris’ house, but the singer reportedly refused to speak with the investigators or even let them enter his security gate.
The ‘Fine China’ star has previously maintained “the truth” about Baylee’s allegations against him will come out eventually.
He said recently: “I cannot wait till the truth comes to light about this incident and this situation. You know, because my character’s been defaced and who I am as a person and [my] integrity.
“I’m glad all my real supporters know me, and know the truth and see the truth.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West has fled Paris after her terrifying ordeal.
The reality TV star left the French capital on a private jet on Monday (03.10.16), just hours after she was held at gunpoint in her apartment and had “millions of euros” worth of jewellery stolen.
Kim, 35, was left “badly shaken” after armed robbers fooled the concierge into letting them in by dressing up in police uniforms.
They then handcuffed him and forced him to lead them to Kim’s apartment, before tying up the reality TV star and locking her in the bathroom.
A police spokesperson told CNN: “The loss amounts to several million euros, mostly jewellery. The total amount is still being evaluated.”
The French Interior Ministry’s spokesperson said no one was hurt during the incident, which took place at around 3am on Monday and the men did not discharge their weapons.
Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Kim’s heroic bodyguard was not with her when the attack happened.
Kim praised Pascal Duvier as a “G” just days ago after he tackled Vitalii Sediuk when the notorious Ukrainian reporter tried to grab her in the French capital but Pascal was with her sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner during Kim’s ordeal.
MailOnline reports that Pascal was accompanying Kendall and Kourtney, who were partying at the Arc nightclub, but the siblings rushed back to the complex as soon as they heard the terrifying news.
It is not clear if Kim had another bodyguard with her during the incident.
Her husband Kanye West was performing in New York at the time but stopped halfway through after he was told what had happened to his wife.
During his song ‘Heartless’, he told the crowd: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Family emergency, I have to stop the show.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Patrick Stewart loves living in Brooklyn because it reminds him of Yorkshire.
The 76-year-old actor grew up in the Northern English county, and he finds the same “generosity” of the people he grew up with can also be found in the New York borough he now calls home.
Speaking to the New York Daily News newspaper, he said: “It reminds me very much of the Northern Yorkshire town I grew up. The kindness of people, the care they take of each other, their sense of humour. There’s so much generosity, so much respect for privacy.”
And the “respect for privacy” is of the upmost importance to the ‘X Men: Days of Future Past’ actor who is often recognised by fans of his work.
He was pleased his Brooklyn neighbours “welcomed him” to the town without making a fuss of his star status.
He said: “We were walking down her block and I saw two old guys sitting on a stoop. I saw them look up when they saw my face and I thought, ‘Oh Lord I don’t want to have a ‘Star Trek’ encounter this morning or ‘X-Men’,’ but as I drew level with them, one of the guys said, ‘Hey Mr. Stewart, welcome to the neighbourhood. Enjoy.’ And that was it. I thought, ‘I love this place and I love the people.’ And that’s how it’s continued.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ actor admits that whilst he has a huge range of roles on his filmography, he’s perfectly happy with people only recognising him from his flagship blockbuster appearances.
He said: “I was reconciled a long time ago to the fact that if it all comes to an end this afternoon I will be perfectly content that the world largely remembers me as Jean-Luc Picard or Charles Xavier. I feel very, very good about the gift ‘Star Trek’ gave me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Solange Knowles is “really proud” of her sister Beyoncé.
The 30-year-old singer comes from a talented family, but she insists there’s no competition between her and the ‘Halo’ hitmaker, and she’s “always been” proud of her 35-year-old sibling.
Speaking to The Fader magazine, the ‘Losing You’ singer said: “I’m really proud of my sister and I’m really proud of her record and her work and I’ve always been.”
And whilst Solange admits that there are similarities between her new record ‘A Seat at the Table’ and Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’, she says it can hardly be avoided when they grew up around the same influences.
She said: “We have the same mother and the same father. We grew up in the same household, and so we had and heard the same conversations. It shouldn’t be surprising that two people who grew up in the same household with the same parents who are very, very aware — just like everyone else is — of all of the inequalities and the pain and suffering of our people right now, would create art that reflects that.”
The ‘Sandcastle Disco’ singer also acknowledged that one of her biggest influences – and indeed a large influence for Beyoncé – was their father Mathew Knowles, who went through a tough time in his childhood because of the colour of his skin.
She said: “I give so much of that credit to my parents. My dad had a really, really, really hell of a tough time growing up. He integrated both his junior high school and his elementary school, and he also decided in the midst of that — outside of them spitting on him and hosing him down and tasering him and all of the horrific things that he went through — that he was still going to stand for equality.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mel C had to stop herself from “stalking” guys she was dating.
The former Spice Girls singer – who split from Thomas Starr, the father of her nine-year-old daughter Scarlet, in 2012 – admits suddenly being single again was “really weird” and she has struggled to get to grips with dating in the age of social media.
The 42-year-old star said: “Finding myself single again, aged 39, was really weird.
“I had a few dates, mostly disastrous and began behaving like a teenager again – wondering why some guy hadn’t texted me back or worrying I’d bump into him in the street looking s**t.
“Social media has made dating a minefield. I had to stop myself stalking people.
“It was an exciting time because I felt youthful, but I did have to tell myself to stop being silly and crying over boys. I’m a mum, for Christ’s sake.”
Mel’s new album, ‘Version of Me’, is her first since splitting from Thomas and she found it hard holding back her emotions in the recording studio.
She told The Times newspaper: “All of my life is in there.
“This is my first album since splitting with the father of my little girl, so obviously that was a huge upheaval.
“I don’t want to sound like a tosser but in the studio doing vocals I was holding back the tears.
“Some wonderful things happened to me recently, but it’s also been a tough time.”
And the ‘Going Down’ hitmaker needs her life to be organised, as though she enjoys brief periods of spontaneity, she quickly comes crashing down.
She said: “It baffles me how life can be turned upside down by one tiny change in your circumstances.
“I’ve battled with depression in the past, that’s no secret.
“I’m such a control freak, so organised, and when I’m on top of that I’m great.
“When that goes away I think I’ma real rebel and try to be spontaneous. A week later I’m on the floor sobbing, convinced my life is in tatters.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mike Tyson thinks Kanye West is “nuts”.
The 50-year-old former boxing champion admits that the rapper might be a little “misguided”, but insists he’s not as bad as people think “when you see him smiling”.
Speaking on podcast ‘Rich Friend’, the star said: “Kanye’s nuts. There’s no doubt about it. “[West is] on the right path. He might be a little bit misguided and offensive, but he has more than belief … He’s really not the bad [expletive] you think he is when you see him smiling.”
Iron Mike also described the ‘Gold Digger’ hitmaker as “a leader”, and said that his late mentor Cus D’Amato would have “loved a guy like him”.
He said: “Cus D’Amato would love a guy like him . . . A guy that leads.
“I was a quiet guy. Even if it’s false confidence, Cus would turn that into reality. To be a leader, you have to have delusional faith that you can do things that are almost impossible.”
Kanye, 39, has previously asked the ‘Hangover’ star to get involved with his clothing line Yeezy, but so far the pair haven’t been able to put a plan together.
The ‘Famous’ rapper wanted the boxer – who recently returned to the sport after battling depression – to take to the runway at his event at the Superdome in New Orleans, where he also wanted to recruit Beyoncé’s musical talent.
A source at the time said: “He’s [Kanye’s] asked Beyoncé to perform, but it’s unclear if he’ll be performing with her.
“He wanted Tyson to be involved in his Madison Square Garden show, but they couldn’t put it together.
“Now he wants to try and get Tyson to come to New Orleans.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rick Parfitt has ended his relationship with his third wife over the phone.
The Status Quo guitarist reportedly told Lyndsay – whom he had been married to for 10 years – he’d “had enough” after they argued over his health and finances.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Rick phoned Lyndsay the other day to say he’d had enough and was moving out. She’s furious. One minute she was caring for him and trying to sort out his finances — the next she was dumped. The relationship has been tempestuous and now there is no going back.”
Rick, 67, and Lyndsay have twins eight-year-old Lily and Tommy together, and the source claims that Lyndsay, 56, is now having to juggle looking after both the children and her elderly mother.
The source continued: “Now she has to care for their twins at the same time she is looking after her elderly mother who is in poor health. Lyndsay is feeling very low and vulnerable.
“They hardly ever communicate and she is constantly worried about their finances in the future. Rick’s lifestyle and health problems have added to the strain.”
Despite having a whopping 65 chart hits with ‘Whatever You Want’ hitmakers Status Quo, Rick’s indulgence in a lifetime of sex, drugs, and booze had left him with money problems and severe health issues.
The ‘Rockin’ All Over the World’ musician suffered his fourth heart attack whilst on tour in June, after going through a quadruple heart bypass in 1997 and suffering heart attacks in 2011 and 2014.
Speaking about his health, he said previously: “When you live the rock ‘n’ roll life you pay for it sooner or later.”
The musician also put the couple’s home in Marbella on the market for £1.5 million, causing a rift between the two about their finances.

OHMYGOSSIP — Nichelle Nichols “doesn’t remember” if William Shatner was a good kisser.
The 83-year-old actress starred as Lieutenant Uhura in the original series of ‘Star Trek’ in the 1960s, and was part of the very first interracial kiss shown on television when she locked lips with Captain Kirk, played by William.
Now, the star says the pair were so “professional” that she can’t remember how good her co-star was.
Speaking the Daily Mirror newspaper, Nichelle said: “The first interracial kiss on television. Oh my God. We had to make it live and make the audience go ‘wow’ and want to see the next episode. They wanted someone else to do the kiss but Bill said ‘if anyone is doing it, it is me’. It was a big deal at the time. I don’t remember if William was a good kisser or not. We were very professional.”
And the star recalled how important it was that the groundbreaking kiss looked “real”, and the fact that audiences believed the scene was the “ideal scenario”.
She said: “Absolutely, there were people talking about it afterwards. I remember someone said to me ‘it was so real and usually kisses on screen are faked’. I don’t mean you have to kiss somebody deeply, but whatever you do it has to be real and both parties have to believe it. The fact people felt it looked real was the ideal scenario.”
For Nichelle – who has 65-year-old son Kyle Johnson – the controversy around the kiss and its groundbreaking nature “seemed quite silly” as she had grown up in an interracial family and didn’t see the problem with it.
She said: “I couldn’t see the fuss because my family was interracial, my grandmother and grandfather were black and white and all my sisters and brothers were different shades. I was the brownest one in the family outside of my mother, my father looked Italian because he was part Italian. So it all seemed quite silly to me.”
