Ariana Grande’s complicated relationship

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson’s relationship got “complicated” after Mac Miller’s death.
Ariana was left devastated by the death of her former boyfriend Mac from a suspected overdose in September and friends say her engagement with Pete was affected by his death.
A source told Us Weekly: “He’s sad. He’s really sad about this split, and he only wishes the best for Ariana, but their relationship was really complicated with the passing of Mac Miller. It put a tremendous amount of strain on their relationship.
“Pete loved Ariana and wanted it to work, but they’ve both had such tragic events happen in their lives. And they are young.”
And sources added that Pete is “broken up” about the split.
An insider said: “He’s really broken up about it… He acts like he’s doing OK, but his friends can tell he’s beating himself up about the breakup.”
Meanwhile, Ariana’s family are “definitely worried about her” following her split from Pete, 24.
But despite their split – which comes five months after they became engaged following just weeks of dating – sources believe the pair could reconcile once Ariana, 25, has had time to heal.
An insider previously said: “Ariana’s been through a lot and emotionally things have been so up and down for her this year.
“[The split has] been really hard for both of them. They’re very unpredictable. It’s over for now but in a few days it wouldn’t be shocking to see them all over each other again.”
Meanwhile, the ‘God is a Woman’ singer broke her silence following the split on Instagram last week, admitting the break up was “very sad” and advising her fans she was planning to take a break from social media.
She wrote: “time to say bye bye to the internet for just a lil bit. it’s hard not to bump news n stuff that i’m not tryna to see rn [right now]. it’s very sad and we’re all tryin very hard to keep goin. love u. and thank u for bein here always. (sic)”

Jungle Cruise release delayed until 2020

OHMYGOSSIP — Disney’s ‘Jungle Cruise’ has been pushed back to 2020.
The family adventure movie – based on the popular theme park attraction of the same name – was originally expected to drop on October 10, 2019 but it has now been delayed until July 24, 2020.
The movie’s star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson shared a trailer for the film on Twitter and wrote: “IT’S OFFICIAL – JULY 24th, 2020. Ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages. My partner in crime, Emily Blunt and I, lovingly invite you to join us for THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME. All aboard…@DisneyStudios JUNGLE CRUISE (sic).”
The Disneyland attraction features a riverboat which takes travellers on a journey through a dangerous jungle, and producers are hoping it will follow ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ as Disney’s next big franchise.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Jack Whitehall is set to play Disney’s first ever openly gay character in the movie.
The 30-year-old actor’s role is set to be a significant one in the studio’s long history.
A source said: “This is a huge gig for Jack and has landed him his biggest ever pay check.
“But, more excitingly, he is playing a gay man – one who is hugely effete, very camp and very funny. It’s a dream role.
“Disney’s always been incredibly supportive of the LGBTQ community. This latest script, set [in the 19th century] at a time when it wasn’t socially acceptable to be gay, is another significant turning point.”
It’s thought Whitehall has landed a seven figure deal for his role in the movie.
Although his character with be the first openly gay man written into one of Disney’s films, last year’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ saw Josh Gad’s LeFou flirting with Gaston (played by Luke Evans) in the company’s first ‘gay moment’ on screen.

Anne Hegerty, Harry Redknapp and Sair Khan for I’m A Celeb

OHMYGOSSIP — Anne Hegerty, Harry Redknapp and Sair Khan are set to compete in ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’.
The ‘Chase’ star, football manager and ‘Coronation Street’ actress are among the celebrities lined up by ITV to take part in the upcoming reality TV series, according to The Daily Mirror.
Speaking about Harry, a source said: “Harry is never anything less than good value. He’s had a long, interesting career and knows a lot of famous people. He’ll be fun to watch.”
Meanwhile, Holly Willoughby has reportedly been paid a “six-figure sum” to replace Ant McPartlin on ‘I’m A Celebrity’.
The ‘This Morning’ host has agreed to front the new series of the creepy-crawly show alongside Dec Donnelly after his co-star Ant pulled out of all of his work commitments earlier this year when he was found guilty of drink-driving.
And, although bosses were certain they wanted the 37-year-old beauty to take on the role, they were determined to make her a cash offer she couldn’t refuse.
A source said recently: “Holly was the first choice to stand in for Ant on the show and the six figure offer reflected how much they wanted to get her on board.
“She’s so popular and she’s got a great relationship with Dec, it was a no brainer. Holly’s worth her weight in gold and the fee reflects that.”
Despite being offered the generous amount, Holly admitted last month that she took some persuading to accept the job because she didn’t want to leave her three children – Harry, nine, Belle, seven, and Chester, four – for a month.
She said at the time: “Dan will bring them out, so it’s a little adventure for them as well. It was an issue. I don’t think I could have left them for that long. Obviously they’re going to have a tutor, but their school was really understanding. They’ve never been to Australia, but they have some Australian friends at school who’ve been telling them all about the giant spiders that live down the toilet, so they’ve been calling them bum-eating spiders.”
Holly also wanted to make sure Ant – who checked into rehab earlier this year – was happy for her to stand in for him because she didn’t want to step on his toes.
She explained: “He was part of the discussion from the off. He’s happy that I’m looking after it until he gets back. It does help that we all know each other.”

Nadia Essex hospitalised over mental health fears

OHMYGOSSIP — Nadia Essex has been hospitalised over fears for her mental health.
The former ‘Celebs Go Dating’ star said she had reached out for help after another spat with her former co-star Eden Blackman, who she had targeted with cruel anonymous messages on Twitter.
This week he called Nadia “calculated, toxic and stupid” and she said the “attack” had led her to seek help.
Nadia tweeted: “The attack was 2much to cope with.
“I was taken to hospital for my mental health. Being called toxic, Stupid & calculated made me feel the world would be better off without me.
“Having a barrage of abuse just as I was feeling happy again devastated me. Thankgod for our NHS!”
Nadia recently admitted she suffered from “suicidal thoughts” since she departed ‘Celebs Go Dating’.
The 36-year-old relationship expert resigned from the E4 show after it was revealed she had been suspended for using fake online accounts to troll people, and she has since been urged to end her life by online bullies, and branded the “most hated woman in Britain”.
She said: “I have had suicidal thoughts from the mountain of abuse I have received. I’ve been told to kill myself.
“Looking back on it now, I didn’t deal with it in the right way, I know that. I’ve been called a fat ugly b***h on a daily basis. I’ve been told to kill myself. I’ve been told I am the most hated woman in Britain.”
Nadia says she only made up the fake profiles because she had been told not to speak out publicly over allegations her fellow ‘Celebs Go Dating’ co-star Blackman had been cheating on his girlfriend.
She said: “After it came out about Eden’s cheating I needed to vent. I wasn’t allowed to speak out as myself because I was warned to keep quiet.
“I felt like I wasn’t allowed my freedom of speech and was told not to put out a public statement. I was in completely the wrong head space. I was a mess. I couldn’t leave the house because I was terrified people would hurl abuse at me in the street.
“People were so angry I wasn’t condemning Eden’s cheating that I was getting abused online constantly.
“I felt like I couldn’t speak up. It was humiliating. I was devastated and petrified and I didn’t know what to do. I was depressed and I felt desperate. I am at rock bottom.”
Nadia also claims Eden used to make “passive aggressive digs” at her on the set, and “couldn’t even sit next to me”.
She added: “I feel like he hated me and he made sure I knew that.”

LeToya Luckett expecting baby girl

OHMYGOSSIP — LeToya Luckett is expecting a baby girl.
The Destiny’s Child founding member, 37, is pregnant with her first child with husband Tommicus Walker and took to Instagram on Wednesday (17.10.18) to reveal the sex of the baby by sharing a professional photograph of her showing off her baby bump in a white bra and tutu style skirt, whilst holding pink balloons.
Alongside the beautiful picture, the 37-year-old star wrote: “She’s already become the light of my life. Mommy & Daddy can’t wait to meet you baby girl! #IssaGurl (sic)”
LeToya got her step-daughter Madison Walker to make the pregnancy announcement in an adorable video on the social media app in June.
In the clip, she said: “Hi, my name is Madison Walker. I know something you don’t know.
“Mmm, I think I’ll give you a hint. I’m going to sing you a song.
“Daddy and Ms. Toya sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. Eww, gross! First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby! (sic)”
The six year old then held up a number of ultrasound pictures in between footage of LeToya and Tommicus’ wedding.
LeToya admitted she and Tommicus are “so blessed” to be expecting a child together, and she just wants to have a “healthy baby”.
She said: “We are over the moon and overjoyed by this news.
“We feel so blessed that God has gifted us with the gift of life. We will be revealing the gender on the fourth of July. This is s straight up blessing, just a blessing. So keep us in your prayers.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a girl or boy. We just wanted to have a healthy baby.”
The couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Austin, Texas, in December, just four months after he popped the question.
In August 2017, LeToya – who split from Rob Hillman in August 2016, just two months after they married – announced she was to wed the entrepreneur after he popped the question on his birthday.
She shared a picture of her ring and wrote on Instagram: “I said , ” Yes yeeeesssss” on his Burfday!! #issaengagement #GodShowedout #HesaGoodManSavanah #LoveWins #8/16/17 (sic)”

David Beckham admits marriage to Victoria is ‘always hard work’

OHMYGOSSIP — David Beckham says his marriage to wife Victoria Beckham is “always hard work”.
The former footballer admits the showbiz power couple’s 19-year union has become “a little more complicated”, because they have been married for so long.
He said: “To have been married for the amount of time that we have, it’s always hard work.
“It becomes a little more complicated.”
David, who has kids Brooklyn 18, Romeo 16, Cruz, 13, and seven-year-old Harper, with Victoria, has also opened up about fatherhood, admitting he appreciates the “little things” in life.
In a teaser trailer for a chat with Australian TV show ‘The Sunday Project’, the 43-year-old star added: “Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference.
“I’ve noticed that with my children.”
Fashion designer Victoria, 44, recently insisted she and her ex-England captain husband are “stronger together” than they would be on their own, and the couple have “respect” for their family unit.
She said: “We both realise that we are stronger together than we are as individuals.
“Would either of us be in the position that we are in now had we not met and been together all those years ago?
“It’s all about the family unit. We are much stronger the six of us, than we would be if we were individuals. We respect that family bond and that is key.”
What’s more, the pair have become used to “ignoring the nonsense” some people spout about their union.
She added: “People have been making things up about our relationship for 20 years, so David and I are pretty used to ignoring the nonsense and just carrying on as normal.
But these things have a wider effect on the people around us, and that’s unfair.”

Olly Murs always wanted to be on The Voice

OHMYGOSSIP — Olly Murs “always wanted” to be on ‘The Voice’.
The 34-year-old pop star has revealed he’s been inundated with various offers to join other talent shows, and though he said he’d like to go back on ‘The X Factor’ as a judge, he’s loving life in his swinging chair coaching on the rival show too much to want to head anywhere else at the moment.
The ‘Wrapped Up’ singer – who will be joined on the panel by Sir Tom Jones, Jennifer Hudson and will.i.am when the show returns in 2019 – told RadioTimes: “I made no secret about wanting to do it (‘The X Factor’) again.
“I had loads of offers of different things. But ‘The Voice’ was always the one that I wanted. I love the show very much. It’s fantastic and it’s great to be here.”
The ‘Moves’ hitmaker – who was a runner-up on ‘The X Factor’ in 2009 – says ‘The Voice’ and ‘The X Factor’ offer a different viewing experience altogether.
Asked how they challenge one another, he said: “It’s a tough question.
“They’re just different shows. We do blind auditions. We’re coaches, they’re judges. We do blind auditions they do open auditions. They speak to the contestants, we don’t. We do the battle rounds, they don’t. We’re just very different.”
Olly recently admitted he went to therapy over his ‘X Factor’ blunder.
The talent show star made headlines in 2015 when he accidentally mixed up the judges’ scores and made a premature announcement that Monica Michael was being sent home.
Although he “laughed off” the mistake at first, he admitted: “The papers didn’t laugh it off – they made a massive deal about it. The media attention, and the social media aspect, upset me the most.
“They really tried to take me to the cleaners. They tried to make me lose my job over a silly, small mistake.
“And when I went back to singing, it made me overthink what I was doing: ‘I’m going to forget the lyrics, what I’m doing … So that was something I needed to speak to a therapist about.
“And I’m not scared to admit that – that’s the stigma that men have.”
Earlier this year, Olly admitted the mishap still bothers him.
He previously said: “Making that mistake always annoys me.”

Michael B. Jordan starring in and producing The Silver Bear adaptation

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael B. Jordan is set to star in and produce Lionsgate’s film adaptation of ‘The Silver Bear.’
The ‘Black Panther’ star will take on the role of the dangerous assassin Columbus in the movie based on the books of the same name by Derek Haas, with Frank Baldwin penning the script.
The ‘Creed’ star is producing through his own Outlier Society, Haas is among a team of executive producers under Nickel City Pictures.
Lionsgate Motion Picture Group’s chairman, Joe Drake, commented: “‘The Silver Bear’ is the kind of story that needs to be experienced on the big screen and Michael is the perfect movie star to inhabit the skin of this dynamic character and take us into the cinematic world of Columbus.
“We’re incredibly honoured that Michael and Nickel City chose Lionsgate to partner with in bringing this exciting property to life.”
The suspense novel follows the tale of hit man Columbus who is tasked with killing presidential candidate Abe Man.
The tome is part one of three, which means there is the potential for the movie to become a franchise.
Meanwhile, Michael recently signed up is to play the Tom Clancy character John Clark in a new film series.
The 31-year-old actor has been approached by Paramount to play the hero in two upcoming movies, with an origin story planned for an adaptation of ‘Without Remorse’ and a sequel centred on ‘Rainbow Six’.
Michael is set to produce the project alongside Akiva Goldsman, Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec.
The studio has spent years trying to get movie adaptations off the ground, with Ryan Reynolds and Chris McQuarrie having previously been linked to the project.
He’s also signed up to produce the WWII movie ‘The Liberators’.
Michael’s schedule continues to grow after the Hollywood star admitted he wanted to spend more time behind the camera in the coming years.
He said recently: “For me, producing and creating opportunities and telling stories is something that I’ve always been fascinated with.
“To be able to have my own production company, be able to start telling more stories and get more on that side of things, it’s important to me. So I’m not going to put a timeframe on it or whatever, but in the future for sure I’ll spend more time producing and hopefully directing and telling stories.
“Then I’ll pick my projects that I’m really passionate about, that I really want to do as far as getting in front of the camera and I’ll do those as well. It’s about trying to find a balance.”

Sylvester Stallone set for Samaritan and Hunter movies

OHMYGOSSIP — Sylvester Stallone is to star in two new movies acquired by his production company.
The 72-year-old film legend is to appear in dark superhero movie ‘Samaritan’, which has been written by Bragi Schut, with production due to begin in 2019, and he looks set to star in ‘Hunter’ after buying the film rights to author James Byron Huggins’ novel back in 2009.
According to Deadline, Stallone and producer Braden Aftergood’s Balboa Productions are seeking a writer for the motion picture, which will tell the story of Nathaniel Hunter, who tracks down a half-human beast created by a renegade agency.
The production company are also on the lookout for a screenwriter after acquiring the movie rights to FBI veteran Michael McGowan’s memoir, ‘Ghost: My Thirty Years as an FBI Undercover Agent’.
Balboa was established earlier this year with plans to develop a new biopic about legendary boxer Jack Johnson, who was the first African-American heavyweight boxing champion.
Johnson was in the news in April when US President Donald Trump pardoned the sporting icon, who was arrested in 1912 due to his relationship with Lucille Cameron, which violated the Mann Act against “transporting women across state lines for immoral purposes”.
Supporters of the boxer – who was originally convicted by an all-white jury before fleeing the US – have been campaigning for him to be pardoned for years. Trump granted the request in April after holding talks with Stallone.
Balboa Productions takes its name from Stallone’s boxing champion alter-ego Rocky Balboa, the titular character of the legendary ‘Rocky’ film franchise.

Westlife want to emulate Take That’s success

OHMYGOSSIP — Westlife hope to emulate the success of Take That with their “five-year” comeback plan.
The ‘Flying Without Wings’ hitmakers – comprised of Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan – have recorded a new album and will head out on a 20th anniversary arena tour of the UK, as well as playing a homecoming show at Croke Park stadium in Dublin, Ireland, next year.
The boys teamed up with Ed Sheeran and his regular co-writer Steve Mac on their forthcoming comeback single and they believe the move will help them achieve their goal of recreating the success they had in the 90s, just like the ‘Never Forget’ hitmakers did with their revival as a three-piece – consisting of Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald.
Nicky said: “We’ve got a five-year plan.”
Insisting their reunion isn’t about the money, Shane told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “If it was just for the money, the option to tour and make a load of cash was always going to be there but we all sat down and agreed we just didn’t want to do that.
“We wanted to go and do new music, and honestly the two people who could make it happen were Steve Mac and Ed Sheeran.
“We thought, ‘If we can get them, we hear they might be interested, then this is the way to take Westlife on, the way Take That came back.
“They were nearly better the second time round than they were the first. And that’s where our ambition is.”
On their biggest rival, Take That – which also included Robbie Williams and Jason Orange – Shane added: “It’s a bit like sport — you look at your rivals, and we looked at Take That, who came back with ‘Shine’, ‘Greatest Day’, ‘Rule The World’, ‘Patience’. It was unbelievable, and we have to see that as a benchmark — but obviously getting Ed and Steve on board gives us the best chance of that.”
Nicky – who has sons Rocco and Jay and daughter Gia with his wife Georgina – says his kids are thrilled that their dad’s band has recruited a pop artist to write their single as they aren’t fans of Westlife’s old stuff.
He quipped: “My kids said to me, ‘Dad, if you’re doing this reunion you’re not doing all those crap songs you did the first time!’
“And I said, thinking, ‘Jesus, that’s a bit harsh’, I said, ‘Lads, Ed Sheeran’s written it’ and they were blown away — so it’s finally made me cool to them too.”
Westlife’s tour is aptly titled ‘The Twenty Tour’ and kicks off on May 25 at Belfast’s SSE Arena, before concluding at Dublin’s Croke Park on July 5.
Tickets for go on-sale to the general public on October 25 at 9am at www.livenation.co.uk
Westlife’s ‘The Twenty Tour’ date are as follows:
Saturday, May 25, Belfast SSE Arena
Sunday, May 26, Belfast SSE Arena
Thursday, May 30, Manchester Arena
Friday, May 31, Newcastle Metro Radio Arena
Monday, June 3, Glasgow The SSE Hydro

Dave Grohl ‘ready to take Foo Fighters break’

OHMYGOSSIP — Dave Grohl is “ready to take a break” from Foo Fighters.
The US rockers have been busy touring their latest ‘Concrete & Gold’ album of late, and while the 49-year-old singer is keen to have a period of rest, he is determined to “do it again at some point”.
He said: “It’s a challenge, you know? You kind of set these goals for yourself, to see if you can do it again, even when you’re crawling to the finish line you know that it’s there.
“So here we are at the last set of shows we’ve been on for a year and a half and I’m ready to take a break but I’m ready to do it again at some point.”
The former Nirvana drummer also hinted there will be a new Foo Fighters record when the group – also made up of Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee – return to action following a self-imposed break, admitting he has already seen new material in his head.
Speaking on Billboard’s ‘Chart Beat’ podcast, he added: “When we start making records it’s almost like I don’t hear the song as much as I can see them, in my head. So I don’t read music, I see music in kind of shapes and patterns, so I can see the next record, I know that there is another one there, I don’t know when but I think I know what we should do.
“We’ve been lucky, we’ve had this lightning rod that we’ve followed for f***ing 24 years, or whatever and it takes us where we think we should go.”
Dave formed the ‘Monkey Wrench’ hitmakers in 1994 following the dissolution of Nirvana when his bandmate Kurt Cobain took his own life in the same year.

Daisy Wood-Davis will miss ‘crazy’ Kim

OHMYGOSSIP — Daisy Wood-Davis will miss the “craziness” her ‘Hollyoaks’ character brought to her life.
The 27-year-old star bowed out of her role as Kim Butterfield on last night’s (17.10.18) E4 episode of the Channel 4 soap, and while she is “proud” to have been part of the programme for four years, Daisy hinted her alter-ego could be back at some point.
She said: “The past four years have been a complete joy working at ‘Hollyoaks’. I’m so proud to have been a part of a show that works so hard in delivering such fun, entertaining and important storylines five days a week.
“What an experience it’s been! I fell in love with the show, the creatives, the cast (in particular a Donovan brother!) and with Kim Butterfield. I’ll miss the excitement and craziness that she brought to my life, hopefully one day I’ll say hello to her again, you never know.”
Kim’s exit came after she took the blame for poisoning Glenn Donovan (Bob Cryer), despite the real culprits being Grace Black (Tamara Wall), Simone Loveday (Jacqueline Boatswain), Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson), and Courtney Campbell (Amy Conachan).
She fled the village only to turn up at a bus stop where she found herself sitting next to a stranger who turned out to be Rick Astley.
The ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ hitmaker was whistling along to his big hit and reading the paper when Kim spotted him.
After the episode, the singer admitted he had “really good fun” shooting his cameo.
He tweeted: “Who saw a familiar face on @Hollyoaks tonight?
Thanks to the cast and crew for having me on the show, really good fun! – Rick x (sic)”
Rick’s cameo came after Kim had sought solace in a poster of the music legend while she was locked in a school for three months – and he admitted this week the plot was “pretty weird”.
He said: “The whole thing was really bizarre, the storyline was pretty weird. It’s kind of a crazy storyline.
“They just asked me if I would do a cameo and I said, ‘Of course I would.’ ”

Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid to make Hollyoaks cameos

OHMYGOSSIP — Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid will make cameos in ‘Hollyoaks’ next week.
The ‘Good Morning Britain’ co-hosts will play themselves as they break news of the fictional Storm Belinda which threatens to hit the village, and BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood will be seen on the Channel 4 soap teasing the inclement weather set for the Chester area.
Show bosses have also enlisted the help of Radio 2 presenter Ken Bruce and regional radio host Debbie Mac to make the storyline look more realistic.
The storm will threaten Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) and Harry Thomson’s (Parry Glasspool) big day, and fans are already aware Stephanie Davis will make her return as Sinead O’Connor during the dramatic episodes.
This was revealed in the soap’s autumn trailer, which saw Sinead out to wreak revenge on her former lover Ste as he prepares to tie the knot with Harry.
Sinead will return in a cab and, as rain lashes down, she says to the driver: “Can you get me to Hollyoaks please? I’ve got a wedding to ruin.”
As the storm intensifies on Ste and Harry’s wedding day, a number of the villagers will seek residence in the Dog in the Pond pub.
Piers and Susanna are not the only ITV stars set for an ‘Oaks’ cameo though.
‘Loose Women’ panellists Linda Robson and Janet Street-Porter recently revealed they will appear as wedding guests in an “explosive” episode.
Linda said: “We were wedding guests at ‘Hollyoaks’. It was very explosive. I can’t reveal anything else.”
Janet added: “We do make an impact. We’re featured.”
‘Birds of a Feather’ actress Linda joked former ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ star Janet was acting like a diva on the set by refusing to wear various accessories.
She said: “She was going all through the handbags going, ‘Is that designer? No, I’m not using that, I’m not wearing that.’ ”

Carrie Underwood’s harder pregnancy

OHMYGOSSIP — Carrie Underwood is finding her second pregnancy “harder” than her first.
The 35-year-old singer and husband Mike Fisher will welcome a second child into the world next year and she admitted her symptoms this time around have been very different to when she was carrying their son Isaiah, now three.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “It’s definitely different than the first time. When they say every pregnancy is different, it really is. Just different symptoms. I feel like this one is just a little harder on my body for some reason. But it’s been really good.”
Isaiah is excited about being a big brother but there’s one task he’s warned the ‘Cry Pretty’ hitmaker he won’t be helping her with.
She said: “He says he won’t change any poopy diapers though. I understand, maybe I can change his mind.”
Carrie and her 38-year-old husband have chosen a name for the baby, but don’t plan on sharing it with anyone.
She said: “We have picked out a name, but we’re keeping that to ourselves right now.”
And the couple haven’t yet done much to prepare for their new baby as they are getting ready to move house first.
She explained: “We’re fixing to move. I haven’t bought anything yet, we still have some of the stuff, cribs and stuff from my son, but we’ll figure it out. We’re about to move so I’ll start buying stuff once we’re there. It’d be pointless to buy it and then move it.”
Carrie recently revealed she had endured three miscarriages in the last two years, and said she was left feeling “angry” by the ordeal.
She said: “I had always been afraid to be angry. Because we are so blessed. And my son, Isaiah, is the sweetest thing. And he’s the best thing in the world. And I’m like, ‘If we can never have any other kids, that’s okay, because he’s amazing.’ And I have this amazing life. Like, really, what can I complain about? I can’t. I have an incredible husband, incredible friends, an incredible job, an incredible kid. Can I be mad? No. [But after the miscarriages,] I got mad. [I thought], ‘Why on Earth do I keep getting pregnant if I can’t have a kid?’ Like, what is this? Shut the door. Like, do something. Either shut the door or let me have a kid.”

Emma Bunton lands dream job in US

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Bunton has landed her “dream job” in America.
The former Spice Girls singer will co-host ‘The Great American Baking Show’ – the US version of ‘The Great British Bake Off’ – alongside returning presenter Anthony Spice Adams and she’s thrilled to have joined the team alongside judges Paul Hollywood and programme newcomer Sherry Yard.
Emma told DailyMail.com: “This is my dream job! Christmas time, eating cake and having such a brilliant time with Spice, Sherry and Paul.”
It is believed Emma – who replaces Ayesha Curry as host – has already filmed the fourth season of the ABC show.
Last year’s season came under controversy when judge Johnny Iuzzini was accused of sexual misconduct by former employees.
The network opted not to air the remaining episodes of the series, announcing Vallery Lomas had beaten Cindy Mailniak and Molly Brodak to win the show on the day the finale would have broadcast.
Paul joined the show ahead of the third season and replaced his former ‘Great British Bake Off’ co-judge, Mary Berry.
It’s been a busy few months for the 42-year-old star – who has sons Beau, 11, and seven-year-old Tate with partner Jade Jones – because as well as her show on Heart FM and rumours of a Spice Girls reunion, Emma recently revealed she has been working on some new solo music and having “a little bit of fun” in the recording studio.
She said: “I am back in the studio, I’m saying this for the first time.
“I have been in the studio and have been having a little bit of fun on my own just to see whether anything comes out of it.”
