Jessie Ware expecting second child

OHMYGOSSIP — Jessie Ware is pregnant.
The 33-year-old singer/songwriter is expecting her second child with husband Sam Burrows after taking to her Instagram account to share a picture of her prominent baby bump.
She simply captioned the image: “…and in other news x (sic)”
The black and white photograph sees the ‘Say You Love Me’ hitmaker – who has a two-year-old daughter with Sam – cradling her baby bump, and the post came just a day after she dropped her new song ‘Overtime’, her first release since 2017.
Last year, Jessie admitted she didn’t have a maternity leave with her first child, returning to work just a few days after welcoming her daughter into the world.
She said: “I didn’t get a maternity leave! I was writing emails a few days after [giving birth] because I’m self-employed and it’s my business.”
The ‘Selfish Love’ singer also opened up about her childhood sweetheart Sam – who she married in 2014 – admitting there is “something beautiful” about the fact the pair have known each other since they were in their teens.
She said: “Sam and I have been together since we were 18. We know everything about each other. There’s something so beautiful about that.”
Jessie announced the birth of the pair’s daughter in September 2016.
She wrote: “We had a beautiful baby girl on Monday. Just want to give a huge love to our midwife, Emilio at UCLH for helping us through it! Love the NHS X (sic)”
Five months earlier, she teased fans that she was expecting.
She wrote: “Dropping this year, and it’s not the album X. (sic)”
But she reassured fans she would still be working on new music, writing: “This doesn’t mean I have stopped working on the record. You will have new music asap.”

Keira Knightley had ‘mental breakdown’

OHMYGOSSIP — Keira Knightley had a “mental breakdown” when she was 22.
The ‘Pride and Prejudice’ actress took a year out from her career and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after struggling to cope with fame and the attention of being a global star but found therapy helpful.
She said: “I did have a mental breakdown at 22, so I did take a year off there and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder because of all that stuff.
“I went deep into therapy and all of that, and [a therapist] said, ‘It’s amazing — I normally come in here and have people that think people are talking about them and they think that they’re being followed, but actually they’re not. You’re the first person that actually that is happening to!’ ”
The 33-year-old star wanted to skip the 2008 BAFTA Awards, where she was nominated for the Actress in a Leading Role accolade for her role in ‘Atonement’, because of the “major panic attacks” she was gripped with but underwent hypnotherapy to get her through as she didn’t want to be subject to a backlash for snubbing the ceremony.
She told The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast: “I actually did hypnotherapy so that I could stand on the red carpet at the BAFTAs and not have a panic attack.
“The hypnotherapy worked because I did stand there and I didn’t have a panic attack.”
The ‘Colette’ actress – who has three-year-old daughter Edie with husband James Righton – admitted the period following her early movie success such as ‘Bend it Like Beckham’ and ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ was “insane” because although she was doing very well in her career, she only paid attention to the negative comments.
She said: “That run of films was completely insane.
“It’s amazing looking back at it from the outside — you’re like, ‘Whoa, that was hit after hit after hit!’ But, from the inside, all you’re hearing is the criticism, really.
“And, also, I was aware that I didn’t know what I was doing, you know? I didn’t know my trade, I didn’t know my craft. I knew that there was something that worked sometimes, but I didn’t know how to capture that.
“It was still very confusing, because you’re getting all these nominations for all of these things, but press-wise, when I’m going into interviews, people are still saying, ‘Everybody thinks you’re s**t,’ or focusing on your looks, or focusing on what’s wrong with you.
“And, again, I was [20] you can only hear the negative stuff.”

Amy Schumer and Emily Ratajkowski arrested

OHMYGOSSIP — Amy Schumer and Emily Ratajkowski have been arrested.
The two actresses were among the thousands of people who assembled at the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington D.C. on Thursday (04.10.18) to protest the possible appointment of Brett Kavanaugh – who has been accused of sexual assault – to the Supreme Court when they were picked up by police and taken into custody.
In a video shared on Twitter, Amy said: “I think we’re going to get arrested.”
Half an hour later, she was asked by a police officer who tried to escort her forwards: “Do you want to be arrested?”
She replied: “Yes.”
Emily detailed her own arrest on Instagram.
She wrote: “Today I was arrested protesting the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, a man who has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault.
“Men who hurt women can no longer be placed in positions of power. Kavanaugh’s confirmation as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is a message to women in this country that they do not matter.
“I demand a government that acknowledges, respects and supports women as much as it does men.”
Both the ‘Trainwreck’ actress and the ‘Gone Girl’ star had spoken to protestors earlier in the day.
Amy told the crowd: “That’s what we’re going to do: We’re going to keep showing up and no matter how this goes, they cannot keep us down.
“We will win. A vote for Kavanaugh is a vote saying ‘Women don’t matter.’ Let’s stay together. Let’s fight. Let’s keep showing up.”
The ‘I Feel Pretty’ co-stars were among the 302 people police said they had arrested at the demonstration.
They did not release names of those who were detained “due to the large number being processed.”

Nick Knowles ‘signs up for I’m A Celebrity’

OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Knowles has signed up for ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’.
Show bosses are said to be hoping the ‘DIY SOS’ presenter will fill plenty of air time with anecdotes about his famous pals, and even some about Princes William and Harry after he worked with them on charity specials of the BBC building series.
An ITV source said: “Jungle bosses are delighted they’ve managed to convince Nick to take part.
“They think he’ll be a great campmate and will be full of stories about his famous pals, including the princes.
“He’s a really well-connected bloke. It’ll earn him a tidy sum for his time in Australia.”
ITV are said to have forked out their biggest ever sum on celebrities for the upcoming ‘I’m A Celebrity’ series.
Producers are said to be keen to ensure ratings do not wane with Holly Willoughby stepping in to present alongside Declan Donnelly, with regular co-host Ant McPartlin taking time off after he was convicted of drink driving earlier this year and spent time in rehab.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: “Producers have been given slightly more to play with this year than normal.
“And this is a signing of intent to show other shows, such as Strictly, that even without Ant the show will still be strong.”
‘This Morning’ co-host Holly recently admitted it will be “horrible” to leave fellow presenter Phillip Schofield to front the show, but is “excited” about taking on the challenge.
She said: “I know, I know, it’s going to be a complete disaster.
“But anyway I’m doing it and I’m completely excited about it and, obviously leaving Phil at any point is horrible but…”

Sarah Jessica Parker can’t imagine making SATC without Kim Cattrall

OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Jessica Parker says there won’t be a new ‘Sex and the City’ film without Kim Cattrall.
The 53-year-old actress became a star all over the world due to her portrayal of writer Carrie Bradshaw on the TV series and two HBO films and a third cinema installment was being planned until Kim, 62, pulled out of the project last September with some reports claiming she had made a series of demands for Warner Bros. to produce her future movies which were refused.
Following the news the movie was dead, Kim denied she had made those demands and claimed Sarah could have been “nicer” during the whole ordeal, going on to suggest there was an “issue” between them throughout the HBO series’ entire run, something with Sarah insisted was not her experience of their relationship.
Rumours were rife that a new actress could play Kim’s alter ego Samantha Jones, but Sarah has now addressed that possibility insisting it’s not an option for her.
Instagram user @energylover2012 messaged the ‘Divorce’ star to say: “You are still my hero. please replace or write her out kim/samantha if she is not interested and bring back sex and the city movie #3. the fans need this (sic)”
Prompting Sarah to reply: “@energylover2012 not sure I can imagine doing another movie without her x (sic)”
Although the movie is dead, much to the disappointment of Sarah and Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, who play the other main cast members Charlotte York Goldenblatt and Miranda Hobbes, the actress has an idea of how ‘Sex and the City’ could make a return.
Reflecting on the fact the show focused on four white professional women and lacked diversity, Sarah said: “You couldn’t make it today because of the lack of diversity on screen. I personally think it would feel bizarre.
“If you came back and did six episodes, you’d have to acknowledge the city is not hospitable to those same ideas. You’d look like you were generationally removed from reality, but it would be certainly interesting to see four diverse women experiencing NYC their way … It would be interesting and very worthwhile exploring, but it couldn’t be the same.”

Johnny Depp penning memoir

OHMYGOSSIP — Johnny Depp is writing his life story.
The 55-year-old actor began writing a book before the 2016 end of his marriage to Amber Heard and he’s currently half way through the tome, which he revealed has no fixed structure and features his “memories” and “beauty and knowledge” he’s taken from his friends and idols.
He said: “I kind of started a book, a couple of months before I broke up with Amber.
“I’ve written around 300 pages. I have about 300 more pages more to go. I am halfway. They are more memories. And some of the beauty and the knowledge that I’ve been able to glean or sponge off of some of these magic f***ing people I know, from Brando to Hunter to Patti Smith to Dylan to Ginsberg.
“I have been so lucky to have met all these folk. I don’t have cards or make notes really. No structure is blocked out. I have reminders. I’ll make a list of reminders.
“It’s not written in any kind of linear form. It should be more like the unplanned telling of a story around the campfire.”
The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star admitted he found it hard writing about his “dark” childhood and the verbal and physical abuse he received at the hands of his mother.
Asked if it was hard to write about his painful memories, he told Britain’s GQ magazine: “Sure. I mean my childhood was dark. My mum wouldn’t edit. There was no editing.
“She would say what she meant, what she felt, in that instant. No matter how wrong it might have been even, or how hideously evil it was in the moment, she didn’t edit. It came out: bleurgh!
“She was out of her mind, obviously, and she didn’t know what the f**k she was doing. She got four kids and she hated the world.
“Was there f**k loads of verbal abuse? Yeah, man. Was there f**k loads of physical abuse? Yes. And never-ending, to the point that pain, physical pain, was just a given. But the last four, five years that I was involved, let’s say… Well, that was quite a dark time too.”
But Johnny – who has children Lily-Rose, 19, and Jack, 16, with former partner Vanessa Paradis – found that reflecting on his past over a long period has made him realise he’s now “beyond it” and it’s put the other difficulties in his life into perspective.
He said: “I mean, you can write about those things and what’s interesting is you write about those things early on and once you’ve had a few years away from that chapter you go back and reread what you’ve done so far.
“And then you realise that you do feel the same way you did, but you’re so far beyond it. It puts everything else into perspective.
“Because at a certain point one must be able to say, ‘What the f**k else can any of you do now? What else can any of you do to hurt me?’ ”

Kim Kardashian got $1m from Kanye for refusing sponsored post

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West received a cheque for $1 million from her husband Kanye West after she agreed to turn down the same amount of cash for a sponsored fashion post.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star has 118 million followers and 58.9 million fans on Twitter and she was offered the six figure sum to post about a brand online, but after her rapper spouse reminded her that the company ripped off his Yeezy line she said no.
Speaking to model Ashley Graham on her new podcast ‘Pretty Big Deal’, Kim revealed: “So, a brand offered me a million to do a post and they … typically knock off Yeezy. So, I said, ‘You know what, it’s great money. Let me ask Kanye how he feels about it.’
“He’s like, ‘No babe, I really don’t want you to do that.’ Understandable but that’s a lot of money.”
However, when Mother’s Day rolled around Kanye made up for it and surprised his wife – with whom he has three children, North, five, Saint, two, and eight-month-old Chicago – with a bouquet of flowers and a mysterious envelope which he sent to her as he was out of town working on his new album.
Kim added: “Mother’s Day was, like, the next week. Mother’s Day comes and he happened to be recording out of town and I get my flowers and then I get an envelope delivered to the door. I opened the envelope and it was a million dollar cheque with a note saying thank you for always supporting me and not posting.
“In the rest of the envelope, it was a contract to be an owner of Yeezy – to have my percentage. And that was my Mother’s Day present.”

Professor Green on ‘mission’ to sort things out

OHMYGOSSIP — Professor Green has been on a “personal mission” to sort his “sh*t out”.
The 34-year-old rapper has been keeping a low-profile since he went on a rant after his ex-girlfriend Fae Williams – who he dated for 18 months – reportedly got engaged to her new man Dan Crowe just five months after they split.
However, the ‘Lullaby’ hitmaker has revealed he’s in a better “space” now as he’s been taking some time out to work on his mental health as well as his music.
Taking to his Instagram on Wednesday (03.10.18), he said in a video: “I’d just like to say sorry to anyone who I’ve neglected of late. I have been on a personal mission to sort my sh*t out, which extends beyond just getting work done in the studio and writing columns for ‘Book of Man’ and coming up with documentary ideas but also just getting my sh*t together and making sure I’m in a good space because it’s about to get real f***ing busy and I’ve got loads of music for you!”
His public apology came just 24 hours after he shared a verse of a new song he’s been working on, in which he raps: “My ex is your next it’s a TBT [throwback Thursday]/ she texted me to link up that’s a TBC [to be confirmed].”
However, Pro Green – whose real name is Stephen Manderson – only gave fans a day to play the second verse before he was deleting it until its release date.
He explained: “It’s gone. I told you lot, 24 hours and I’m deleting it. I’m amazed and extremely flattered by all the comments and compliments … there was like 1800 comments or something and not one negative one.
“I’m excited to drop the song, I’m not going to tell you when it’s coming out but it’s coming out. It might just be the next single.”
Pro Green hit the headlines back in June when he uploaded a photograph of Fae’s new man on his Instagram page and wrote: “When your ex downgrades.”
He later explained why he decided to troll the pair: “I just got fed up. We had 18 months together and I expected a little bit more respect from her to be honest. I get it because it’s like, ‘Hey, look at me, I’m over it,’ but what it actually says is the opposite. The only ‘wrong’ that I did was to leave her, because I couldn’t be with her any more as she was. I just hope she sorts herself out because from the outside it just looks crass, and stupidly I stooped to her level for one post. It was just a moment of… not madness, but a moment of human. It wasn’t because it hurt me seeing her with someone else, it was because I expected better of her.”

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin don’t consider themselves ‘officially’ married

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin don’t consider themselves “officially” married because they haven’t had a church ceremony yet.
The couple were reported to have tied the knot last month after a short engagement, but it has now been claimed that whilst they are technically married, they don’t believe it is official yet because they haven’t had a full ceremony in a church.
Both Justin, 24, and Hailey, 21, are religious, and according to TMZ, they think a church ceremony is necessary to make the marriage meaningful in the eyes of God, which is when the marriage will become official.
The ‘Sorry’ hitmaker and the model reportedly got married on the day they received their marriage license in New York, and it was claimed Justin’s friend Josh Mehl was a witness at their wedding ceremony on September 13, which was officiated by preacher Jeffrey Quinn, a member of the faculty at Nyack College, which is near the courthouse in New York City.
The couple are still planning on a formal ceremony, but it will be a wedding in name only as they are already husband and wife.
Hailey previously denied having married Justin on Instagram.
She wrote: “I understand where the speculation is coming from, but I’m not married yet!”
However, days later her uncle Alec Baldwin claimed his niece and the ‘Love Yourself’ hitmaker had “just went off” and got married.
He said: “They just went off and got married and I don’t know what the deal is. We text Hailey every now and then. We met him one time.”
Meanwhile, Hailey recently claimed her engagement was the “most adventurous thing” she’s ever done.
She said: “My entire summer has been quite adventurous in life in general. I’ve been traveling all over. For me, being adventurous is flying by the seat of my pants, which isn’t something I’m normally comfortable with, but I’ve been doing it for the last few months. Just traveling, and it’s so fun to be able to pick up and do things.
“Well, I got engaged! I think that’s probably the biggest OMG moment of the year for me, of my life. So that’s probably top.”

Michelle Williams wants to joke with Beyonce about her Destiny’s Child namesake

OHMYGOSSIP — Michelle Williams will joke about her Destiny’s Child namesake if she ever meets Beyoncé.
The 38-year-old actress shares her name with a member of the ‘Survivor’ hitmakers – which also famously featured Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland – and has said that whilst people get the two stars confused, she doesn’t mind because she now has an “ice breaker” to help her whenever she meets pop superstar Beyoncé.
She said: “It gets me one step closer to Beyoncé, so I’m pretty good with it. Now I’ll have an ice breaker if I ever get to meet Beyoncé. I’ll talk to her about the old days of Destiny’s Child. So thank you because I’ll obviously be tongue-tied if and when that ever happens, and now I’ll know exactly what to say.”
The ‘Venom’ actress has never met the singer, also 38, but says the pair get confused for one another all the time.
Speaking to the Huffington Post, Michelle added: “My daughter is an enormous Stevie Wonder fan, and we went to a Stevie Wonder concert, and when I was in line to pick up our tickets, the guy said, ‘No, you’re not,’ and I said, ‘I am. I’m Michelle Williams,’ and he said, ‘No, you’re not.’ And I said, ‘I really am.’ I showed him my ID, and he said, ‘Oh, that Michelle Williams. I just assumed that it was gonna be … Oh cool. What?'”
It isn’t the first time the ‘All the Money in the World’ actress – who has 12-year-old daughter Matilda with her late ex-partner Heath Ledger – has spoken about the mix-up either, as she previously spoke about the Stevie Wonder mishap whilst explaining the pair still get mistaken for one another, despite their completely different appearances.
She said: “Yes, we often get confused for each other. Let me tell you when I really got confused … for that other Michelle Williams.
“When I took my daughter to see Stevie Wonder. They were like, ‘huh?’ [They thought I was the other Michelle Williams]. They were like, ‘Oh, ohh ohh ohh … OK cool.’
“My daughter is a huge Stevie Wonder fan and we were not gonna miss that night. But they were not expecting this Michelle Williams.”

Kim Kardashian West’s daughter wants to go to prom in her mother’s Met Gala gown

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West’s daughter wants to don her mother’s 2018 Met Gala gown to her prom when she’s older.
The 37-year-old reality star graced the red carpet at the prestigious fashion event earlier this year wearing a vintage-inspired Versace chainmail gown, and has now revealed her five-year-old daughter North is keen to slip into the piece for her prom when she graduates high school in 13 years.
Kim – who also has son Saint, two, and daughter Chicago, eight months, with her husband Kanye West – told Ashley Graham during an appearance on her ‘Pretty Big Deal’ podcast: “I have all my Met dresses in an archive and I have the Versace in my closet. And North actually went in and she’s always like, ‘Mom, can I have this when I’m big?’ She’s going through everything.
“And she said, ‘Mom, I just want that gold cross dress that you have.’ And I was like, ‘Do you wanna wear it to the prom? You can wear it to your [prom]. Whatever fits you. You better hope that you’re somewhere near my height.'”
North’s love for her mother’s wardrobe comes after the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star also revealed her eldest child often pretends she doesn’t have younger siblings, and has waged “full war” with her brother Saint.
Kim said: “North acts like an only child at all times. I think she’s a little confused. She’s beyond jealousy now. She’s just like, ‘It’s my world.’ She said to me the other day, ‘Mom … we just need to have another baby brother so that Saint can just leave me alone … so the girls can be on this side of the house and the boys can be on that side of the house.’
“She has a sign on her door that says, ‘No boys allowed.’ She won’t even let Saint step foot in her room. If he does or if he’s with me and I have to take care of both of them … it’s like full war.”

Hilaria Baldwin shows off weight loss

OHMYGOSSIP — Hilaria Baldwin has shown off her weight loss, just over four months after giving birth to her fourth child.
The 34-year-old fitness expert gave birth to her son Romeo – whom she has with her husband Alec Baldwin – four and a half months ago, and has taken to Instagram to document her weight loss results as she works to regain her pre-pregnancy figure.
Posting a collage of images of herself from when she was nine months pregnant, 12 days after labour, and now at four and a half months after labour, Hilaria – who also has Carmen, five, Rafael, three, and Leonardo, two, with Alec – wrote: “The recovery from baby number 4 continues….I share my journey and posts here because I believe so strongly that smart exercise, good eating, and a calm mind= healthy body. And I want you to experience it too because life is so worth living to it’s max…and you are so worth it. (sic)”
Hilaria is known for keeping her body fit, and recently credited her toned physique with helping to make her labours painless.
She said: “I’m fit before pregnancy, I stay as fit as I can during pregnancy, and that I think has allowed me to have pretty great labours, deliveries and recovery. This time was hard because I had pneumonia during my labor and delivery, so I was really sick. It wasn’t as fast as the other times, but I made a comeback.”
The health and wellness expert feels it is important to focus on her fitness, despite her busy schedule looking after her four kids.
She added: “I have to work out when it’s convenient for my four little children and my husband and my two dogs. A lot of times, what I’ll do is I’ll get up, get the kids ready and then I’ll go for a jog. Al gets the kids in the car and will meet me at the end of my jog. And then we go and we drop the kids off at camp.
“I’m really just so efficient with trying to find windows of time. I know that my jog is 30 minutes, and if I can make my 30-minute jog and then when nap time is I can do another 30 minutes of yoga or whatever it is, that’s a really good day.”

Claire Foy was denied entry into an Emmy’s afterparty

OHMYGOSSIP — Claire Foy says she was denied entry into the Emmy’s afterparty, despite winning an award.
The 34-year-old actress picked up the honour for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in ‘The Crown’ at the 2018 Primetime Emmy Awards last month, but has said that despite her success on the night, she still managed to find herself turned away at the ceremony’s afterparty, before celebrity hairdresser Jonathan Van Ness got her in.
She said: “I didn’t have trouble, I didn’t get in. I was mortified. Jonathan Van Ness, he was my knight in a white suit.”
The actress – who’s role on the show was hit with controversy after it was revealed she was paid significantly less than her co-star Matt Smith, despite having a larger role – also admitted she was “shocked” to walk away with an award, and “wasn’t prepared” to give an acceptance speech.
Speaking during an appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday (02.10.18), she said: “I was shocked. I was out of the loop because we had just finished shooting ‘The Crown’ about a year and a half ago – and I love Sandra Oh, so as far as I was concerned I thought I was having a night off. I wasn’t prepared.”
Claire’s fame has increased dramatically since she starred on the Netflix drama, but the star – who has a three-year-old daughter called Ivy Rose – recently claimed her success hasn’t changed her life that much, as she’s still dealing with “the same old crap”.
She said: “I never thought I’d be in something as successful as ‘The Crown’. And when you realise what success brings, and what people think about success…
“We laud success so much, and think that if you’re successful you’re special. When no, ultimately. Maybe it changes some people. But what I found really disconcerting was that it hadn’t changed me at all. Ultimately, all the same old crap is going on.”

Busy Philipps’ ‘scary’ sexual assault admission

OHMYGOSSIP — Busy Philipps found it “really scary” to publicly share her sexual assault story.
The 39-year-old actress revealed on Instagram last week that she had been raped at the age of 14, and has now said she was inspired to come forward by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who recently gave a testimony against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, accusing him of historical sexual assault.
Busy – who has daughters Birdie, 10, and Cricket, five, with her husband Marc Silverstein – said it was “hard” for her to speak out, but felt she had to be part of this “reckoning for women” which has seen hundreds come forward with their own experiences over the past year.
She said: “I was so moved by [Dr. Ford’s] bravery. And it wasn’t something that I felt like I was ever going to blast out on social media, but when I saw her standing there, speaking her truth after 30 years, I was like, ‘It’s been 25 [years] for me and I can do this. I can do this. We can all do this.’
“And I feel like it’s, politically whatever you believe, I feel like it’s a real moment of reckoning for women that we have, sort of collectively, carried this burden for so long and it’s time to share it and let it out. It was hard. And really scary.”
The former ‘Dawson’s Creek’ star claims she was raped as a young teenager, and now worries for her own children, especially as her eldest daughter is approaching that age.
Speaking through tears during an appearance on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’, Busy – who also details the alleged incident in her book ‘This Will Only Hurt a Little’ – added: “I have a 10-year-old, so when I look at that baby, I see my kid. It’s sadly the most unoriginal horror, isn’t it?
“I’ve struggled with it for so long. For so long. And even when I wrote the chapter in my book I had in my head an escape plan, which was it doesn’t have to go into the book if I panic and don’t want to put it out into the world. But I feel like we’re at this moment in time.”
Last week, Busy shared a photo of herself on Instagram at the age of 14, and said she refused to be “silent” any longer.
She wrote: “#tbt This is me at 14. The age I was raped. It’s taken me 25 years to say those words. I wrote about it in my book. I finally told my parents and sister about it 4 months ago. Today is the day we are silent no more. All of us. I’m scared to post this. I can’t imagine what Dr. Ford is feeling right now.”

Lili Reinhart’s ‘therapeutic’ acne talks

OHMYGOSSIP — Lili Reinhart finds it “therapeutic” to share her acne struggles with her fans.
The 22-year-old actress has been open about her battle with her skincare, and says discussing her break outs not only helps her fans realise they’re not alone with their own skin nightmares, but also helps her own self-esteem.
She said: “I guess I got sick of feeling like I was the only one. When I have a breakout, I feel the urge to tell people, ‘Yes, I know my skin is breaking out.’ It’s a way to help me feel better about when I express my frustration about it to other people. It’s like, ‘Yes, I’m aware my skin looks bad. Trust me, I know.’ Acknowledging it gets it out of the way. Then we can move past it.
“I find it therapeutic sharing that with my fans because it made me feel like it was OK when I broke out. It also shows other people that it’s OK to break out.”
The ‘Riverdale’ star believes it’s important for her to be honest about her acne in her position as an actress, because it helps people realise stars aren’t always “perfect”.
She added: “You’re presented with movie stars and TV stars who have beautiful skin, and you don’t see acne because it’s unappealing, especially in ‘Riverdale’, where everyone looks perfect all the time. I definitely came on this show feeling like I had the worst skin and I felt very self-conscious about it.”
But Lili is still faced with “negativity” in the comments of her social media posts because of her skin, and although she’s “training” herself to move past it, it still affects her from time to time.
She told People magazine: “I do get negativity and awful comments. People criticize the relationship that I’m in [with boyfriend and co-star Cole Sprouse] and they say ‘fire her stylist’ if I’m wearing something that someone doesn’t like. You could have 100 nice comments and one sour one, and you’re going to remember the sour one because it offends you and insults you. But that is such a small fraction of what I’m seeing on my social media.
“I’m training myself to move past [the negativity] and focus on the good and the positive that people are sending me because there is so much more of that than there is negativity,” she says. “It doesn’t faze me at all anymore if someone says something s**t on my social media or tweets something nasty to me.”

Westlife confirm reunion

OHMYGOSSIP — Westlife have confirmed they are set for a reunion, six years after their split.
The Irish boy band – comprised of Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan – have revealed they have recorded a brand new album, and will head out on a stadium and arena tour in support of the record next year.
The announcement was made on their Facebook page in a short video, which simply showed the group sitting down and shaking hands, before turning to the camera and saying: “Hi, we’re Westlife.”
A caption on the video then read: “Westlife. New music. New tour. Coming soon.”
And the ‘My Love’ musicians are excited to hit the road again, as they “genuinely missed” their fans.
Shane told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “We genuinely missed each other and missed the buzz of performing on stage together to all our fans.
“We still have a lot that we want to achieve as a band and we want to bring our new music to fans all over the world.”
Whilst Nicky added: “While we were away, we realised what Westlife really meant to the fans – and to us.”
And Kian said: “This time around our children will get to enjoy Westlife and see their daddies on stage.”
The ‘If I Let You Go’ hitmakers will return without their former bandmate Brian McFadden, who left the group in 2004, and the reunion marks the 20th anniversary of the band’s formation.
The news comes after it was revealed last week that pop megastar Ed Sheeran had penned a track for the group, which is expected to be released before the end of the year and will serve as their comeback single.
A source said at the time: Westlife have really been pulling out all the stops for their big comeback and were desperate to get Ed on board.
“It took quite some time to pull together and has been done totally behind closed doors, but he has finally given them the right record to make it happen.
“Having Ed involved is a huge coup. They think he will give them a contemporary edge for their reunion. They have already recorded the song and are delighted with the results. They’re just pulling together the final promo details including a video before they unveil it. It’s going to be huge.”
