Sharon Osbourne has confirmed she has left ‘The X Factor’

OHMYGOSSIP — Sharon Osbourne has confirmed she has left ‘The X Factor’.
The 65-year-old star was set to join the judging panel – made up of Simon Cowell, Louis Tomlinson, Robbie Williams and Ayda Field – for the live shows, but she has now said it would “feel odd” to appear at such a late stage of the TV talent show’s new series.
In a statement shared on Facebook, she said: “After watching the new season #XFactor unfold, I’ve seen the new judges finding their rhythm and are doing brilliantly.
“Simon was so gracious to find me a spot on the live shows but at this point I really don’t think I’m needed and I would honestly feel odd coming in at this point. So I have decided to pass on the series this year.
“I wish the show continued success and as much as I love to get my face on TV you will have to do without me this season.”
Meanwhile, ITV has also confirmed her exit, and insisted she will remain “a big part” of the show’s extended family.
A spokesperson told Digital Spy: “‘The X Factor’ can confirm Sharon Osbourne has decided not to return to this year’s show. Sharon will always be a big part of ‘The X Factor’ family and we wish her all the best for the future.”
The clarification from both parties comes after reports suggesting she was axed following went a foul-mouthed rant last month insulting both boss Simon and the show.
Sharon raised eyebrows during her interview on ‘The Howard Stern Show’ when she claimed Simon would do anything to get his “fat face” on television, before claiming she wanted to “drown” him and branded the show a “f***ing karaoke.”
Asked who she would save if they were on a sinking ship, Sharon joked at the time: “We would put a f***ing brick around his neck and throw him over. I will drown you mother f***er. Absolutely…he’s gone.”

Kim Kardashian West rowed with Kanye West because she wouldn’t get him a “skin colour band-aid”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West rowed with Kanye West because she wouldn’t get him a “skin colour band-aid”.
The superstar couple – who have kids North, five, Saint, two, and eight-month-old Chicago together – got caught up in an argument because the 41-year-old rapper didn’t like the one that she first gave him.
Speaking to her sister Khloe on ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’, she said: “I go, ‘Oh look, North has Jesus band-aids. Put on a Jesus band-aid’. And he was like, “I’ve slaved around the world making clothes for you to make sure that you find the best outfit, and you let me go out wearing a Jesus band-aid!’
“He said I should have gotten a skin colour band-aid. So I’m running around to find three f**king different coloured band-aids when I have three kids to look after.”
And that wasn’t the only minor issue that turned into a huge fight for the couple as Kim, 37, also revealed they had rowed over her Instagram feed.
She told her older sister, Kourtney Kardashian: “He wanted to me post six Polaroids from that shoot that I posted — those nude pictures. But I posted one from the beach.
“He wanted them to all match up and be all from the motel. That’s what the f***ing fight was! I’m like, ‘I like the beach one.’ He’s like, ‘No, you don’t understand, I see the vision!’ ”
And the ‘All Day’ hitmaker continued to argue against his wife, even after she said she had to promote her fragrance line.
She continued: “He’s like, ‘F**k your fragrance for one day. You need six motels ones. Why’d you post the beach one? You’ve got to delete the beach one.’
“I was like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t sit here and organize my Instagram with you. Who cares about this?’ He’s like, ‘I care, trust me.’
“He’s always right in the end, but I’m just like, it’s my Instagram — you can’t tell me what to post.”
But the brunette beauty eventually concluded she had been “fully neglecting” her husband in favour of their children so surprised him with lingerie and a heart-shaped box of band-aids for Valentine’s Day (14.02.18).
She said: “I realised I make such a priority for all the kids, and I go above and beyond for them, but in that, I’m fully neglecting my husband.
“So I just want to give Kanye the attention and love that he needs. … When you have so many kids, it’s important to still make your relationship a top priority.”

Ethan Hawke has praised ‘Logan’ and insisted he would never criticise the film

OHMYGOSSIP — Ethan Hawke has praised ‘Logan’ and insisted he would never criticise the film.
The 47-year-old actor courted controversy over the summer when he suggested Hugh Jackman’s final ‘Wolverine’ film – which was released year – was good but not great.
Discussing his love for comic books and their big screen adaptations, he has now told Collider: “One of the things that’s cool about that is that’s because for a long time – I thought about this for a little bit – for a long time, comic books and people who cared about comic books were ghetto-ized.
“And it was made to feel small. And now they run the table. And there’s been this giant switch in my lifetime, I mean, like I am a comic book geek, I’ve seen all those [movies].
“The idea that I’m the one criticizing them is a joke, because I – there’s very few things I enjoy more – this is something I teach my son – that something about being a geek is being real. That’s what it means: I’m gonna be real.”
He went on to suggest that people mistook his comments for criticism when in fact he claimed he making “a much more nuanced point”.
He added: “I don’t think you should be scared to say that you love something or that you hate something and that’s the job of movies and music.
“It’s not to be liked. It’s to stir up conversation. And I was talking about a much more nuances point about money in America and what our obsession with the accumulation of wealth is.”

Tom Hardy thinks ‘Venom’ is the “least comic-book” movie of the superhero genre

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Hardy thinks ‘Venom’ is the “least comic-book” movie of the superhero genre.
The 41-year-old actor plays the part of Eddie Brock / Venom in the new Ruben Fleischer-directed movie, but Tom has claimed that his film is, in some ways, distinct from the many superhero films of recent years.
He explained to Collider: “It just didn’t strike me … it’s the least comic book of the superhero world, if that make sense?
“For me, what grasped me was the Jekyll-and-Hyde dynamic between interior conflict and how Venom kind of symbolises the inside voice of self-will run riot, which has been given to an alien from outer space with a higher purpose in many aspects and then connected with a human being.
“So I was looking at it from a different angle of … this is really interesting whereby we have all the assets a studio can offer us – from visual effects to stunts to design elements – to imbue an inner-conflict between a man, woman or person with their inside voice, which is manifest in a beat which they have to negotiate an ethical framework with within a world that is not binary, but grey.”
Meanwhile, Tom recently admitted he turned to his 10-year-old son Louis for advice on how to play Eddie Brock and his anti-hero alter ego.
He confessed: “I’m not going to lie, I just thought he was a black Spider-Man. I didn’t really read comic books, so my information was limited.
“But I was given loads of comics when I got involved. All the comics! And more importantly, I had my son as my guide … I was versed in the way of Venom by a 10-year-old. I consulted the oracle, there. And he would steer me on.”

The 29-year-old actress was left upset because she had to be “aggressive” towards a rabbit in a scene in upcoming period drama ‘The Favourite’.
She said: “In the end – I don’t want to give anything away – but I have to be a little bit aggressive in the end with a bunny.
“I cried my eyes out for about an hour.”
The Hollywood star simply couldn’t cope with the emotional stresses of the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed movie, which also stars Rachel Weisz, Nicholas Hoult and Joe Alwyn, even though she was reassured throughout the scene.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “They sort of talked me through it and how it would be a gentle and okay thing but, no it’s very, very upsetting.
“Any idea of ever harming an animal in any way is crushing to me.”
In spite of her emotional turmoil, Emma revealed that no animals were actually harmed during the shoot.
She said: “The bunny was totally fine.”
Meanwhile, Emma previously claimed there’s no such thing as “normal”.
The actress stars in the new Netflix series ‘Maniac’, in which her character, Annie Landsberg, obsesses unhealthily about her imperfect relationships with her mother and sister.
Asked whether she hopes the series will address the social stigma that surrounds mental illness, Emma explained: “I would hope in general, in the world, we understand that there is no ‘normal’.
“People go through all sorts of things and if you need a pill to help balance the way your chemistry works, fine. If you need to go to therapy, fine. But it’s about human connection at the end of the day.”

Speaking after her last-ever show at her Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood’s Zappos Theater, Jennifer explained: “To have a partner who’s that supportive, who comes to that many shows – we all know what it’s like to be in show business. It’s a grind.
“It’s being away a lot and he really makes the effort, so do I, to be there for each other and it means a lot to me.”
Jennifer’s Vegas show earned over $100 million and was seen by 500,000 fans during a three-year period.
The American star has revealed how her performance evolved over the years.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I thought it was just like another gig that I was going to do and it would be fine.
“But, it actually turned out to be something so incredibly special and different and it’s funny. It just taught me like when you approach things, you go ‘I’m going to make this the best show Vegas has ever seen.’ And when you’re doing that in rehearsal from the beginning, you can actually make that happen.”
Meanwhile, Jennifer recently claimed she’s in the “best shape of her life”.
The singer said she feels like “Superwoman” now because she’s so “strong, happy and grateful”.
She wrote on Instagram: “Feeling like superwoman after the show tonight! When I started this run I thought omg 15 shows in 27 days that’s a lot … but I made a promise to myself that instead of letting it wear me down I would be even stronger at the end of it … I will work out and be in the best shape of my life.
“There were moments I was tired and there was travel and I had to fit in my workouts where I could … but here we are with only 3 shows left!! And I am having so many emotions but mostly just feeling strong, happy and grateful!!! (sic)”

Gwyneth Paltrow has showed off her new wedding ring

OHMYGOSSIP — Gwyneth Paltrow has showed off her new wedding ring.
The ‘Iron Man’ actress tied the knot with Brad Falchuk in The Hamptons on Saturday (29.09.18) and on Sunday (30.09.18) she took to Instagram to share a photo of her hand over the producer’s, revealing their matching simple gold bands.

A source told RadarOnline.com: “The wedding ended at 2.30 am – Steven Spielberg, with his wife, were the first celebrity guests to leave at 1.30 am.
“A few minutes later, Jerry Seinfeld left, but his wife stayed behind. I think she stayed to party!
“Robert Downey Jr. and his wife left at 2 am. Everyone was saying Robert was definitely the coolest guest at the wedding, especially with that crazy red, black and white-checkered hat he was wearing.
“The last to leave were Cameron Diaz with Benji Madden. Cameron looked super tired. They left at 2:30 a.m. and stayed at a nearby resort.”
It was no surprise Cameron was last to leave as it was previously revealed she played a big part in helping her friend – who has children Apple, 14, and Moses, 12, with first husband Chris Martin – organise her big day.
A source said: “Cameron was very excited about Gwyneth’s wedding. Gwyneth has been giving her updates and asking for advice during the planning. Cameron pulled off a private wedding even though the media found out about it before. Gwyneth wanted the same privacy.”
It is believed the Goop founder and her 47-year-old new husband – who has two children from his first marriage – are spending a few days in The Hamptons before jetting off on honeymoon.

Chris Evans has called out Kanye West for his comments regarding the 13th amendment

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Evans has called out Kanye West for his comments regarding the 13th amendment.
The ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ actor has fired back at the 41-year-old rapper after he posted on Twitter suggesting America should abolish the constitutional amendment that outlaws slavery.
In an angry and scathing response to the original post, Chris tweeted: “There’s nothing more maddening than debating someone who doesn’t know history, doesn’t read books, and frames their myopia as virtue.
“The level of unapologetic conjecture I’ve encountered lately isn’t just frustrating, it’s retrogressive, unprecedented and absolutely terrifying.”
His comments came as a direct response to a post from Kanye who posed in a red ‘Make America Great Again’ baseball cap alongside the controversial message.
He wrote: “This represents good and America becoming whole again. We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs.
“We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment. Message sent with love.”
After facing backlash for his tweet, the star moved to clarify his The tweet sparked outrage among his followers, and Kanye – who is married to reality TV star Kim Kardashian West – later tried to clarify his position on the issue.
He said: “the 13th Amendment is slavery in disguise meaning it never ended We are the solution that heals.
“not abolish but. let’s amend the 13th amendment
“We apply everyone’s opinions to our platform (sic)”
Earlier this year, Kanye caused controversy when he claimed in an interview that 400 years of slavery “sounds like a choice”.
The rap star – who has kids North, five, Saint, two, and eight-month-old Chicago with Kim – said: “When you hear about slavery for 400 years: for 400 years, that sounds like choice. You was there for 400 years. And it’s all of y’all?”

Tupac Shakur’s estate has won a five-year legal battle over the late rapper’s unreleased music

OHMYGOSSIP — Tupac Shakur’s estate has won a five-year legal battle over the late rapper’s unreleased music.
The estate of the American rap star – who was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1996 – launched legal action against Entertainment One, claiming the company had kept royalties from Tupac’s songs, while also refusing to let go of master tracks of his music.
Afeni Shakur, Tupac’s mother, was the administrator of the estate in 2013, when the legal action was launched.
At the time, Afeni’s ambition was to become the legal owner of her son’s recordings.
Although Afeni died in 2016, the estate continued to pursue the case and has now won the rights to Tupac’s unreleased music, which is said to be worth a huge amount of money.
TMZ reports that Entertainment One has also agreed to pay the estate a substantial six-figure sum as part of the settlement.
Meanwhile, Donald Glover claimed earlier this year that he’s the “new Tupac”.
The American star – whose stage name is Childish Gambino – believes that he and Tupac share a striking number of similarities.
He explained: “I know everybody likens themselves to Tupac a lot.
“I am the new Tupac in a strange way. I grew up similar. I didn’t have a mom in the Black Panthers, but my parents were very pro-black.
“Also, my mom made me go to performing arts high school. She was like, ‘That’s where you need to be.'”

Susannah Constantine ‘seemed to hate every minute of Strictly Come Dancing’

OHMYGOSSIP — Susannah Constantine “seemed to hate every minute” of her time on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 56-year-old fashion guru – who was was partnered with Anton du Beke for the competition – became the first contestant to exit this year’s show on Sunday (30.09.18), and an insider has claimed that Susannah was “furious” about the low scores she’d been awarded by the judges.
The source told The Sun newspaper: “Susannah ended up in tears after the scores were given out – she takes herself quite seriously and wasn’t happy about it.
“She told people it was to do with her son going off to uni but she was obviously furious.”
Susannah – who battled with joint pain throughout training – failed to impress the judges with her Foxtrot to Frank Sinatra’s ‘They Can’t Take That Away From Me’ during the dreaded dance-off against Lee Ryan.
The insider claimed she didn’t appear to enjoy her time on the show at all and didn’t develop any sort of relationship with the other contestants.
The source said: “She seemed to hate every minute of it. She ignored the other dancers and didn’t talk to the judges and seemed to think she was above everyone else.
“She certainly didn’t want to join in with congratulating Ashley (Roberts) on her amazing marks.”
By contrast, Anton insisted he relished working with the TV star.
He said following their exit: “It’s just all too brief. I have had the most fabulous time with Susannah, she is going to be a great loss to the show.
“Sadly someone’s got to go but I wish it wasn’t you because you’re wonderful to be with. I’m going to miss spending time with you in the studio, we’ve had a great time, we’ve had enormous amounts of fun and you’re wonderful and thank you very much indeed.”

Gwyneth Paltrow to wed this weekend

OHMYGOSSIP — Gwyneth Paltrow is getting married this weekend.
The ‘Shallow Hal’ actress will reportedly tie the knot with her producer partner Brad Falchuk over the coming days, sources told People magazine.
But fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the couple’s big day may be disappointed as while Gwyneth – who has daughter Apple, 14, and son Moses, 12, with her former husband Chris Martin – loves to document personal stories on her website Goop, she recently admitted she doesn’t think her wedding will feature.
She shared: “I don’t know if I’ll share it or not. I think it’s always a fine line of having something that is just yours but also being celebratory so we’ll see.”
The 46-year-old beauty recently admitted she hasn’t been very “involved” in planning her wedding because she’s been too busy.
She said: “I’m very busy so I’m actually not that involved in it. I have so much going on and I’m sort of outsourcing that. I’m probably the least bridezilla person probably to a fault that has ever come across my wedding planner’s office doors.”
When Gwyneth tied the knot with Coldplay frontman Chris in December 2003, the pair missed out on a proper ceremony as they decided to simply elope, and so the ‘Sliding Doors’ actress is looking forward to keeping things more traditional the second time around.
She said: “Chris and I eloped, so I’ve never actually had a wedding, or any of these fun bride kind of things. I’m really enjoying myself.”
Brad – whose relationship with the actress went public in 2015, a year after they were first rumoured to be dating – has two children, Brody and Isabella, with ex-wife Suzanne Bukinik.

Roger Matthews vows to win back Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley

OHMYGOSSIP — Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley’s estranged husband has vowed to win her back.
The ‘Jersey Shore’ actress has filed for divorce from Roger Matthews – who she wed in October 2015 – citing “irreconcilable differences” but he’s insisted he’s “not done” with their relationship and doesn’t want to be a single parent to their children Meilani, four, and two-year-old Greyson.
In a video posted to Instagram, he said: “Alright, so here you go blood thirsty bastards who have to know what’s going on.
“You’re the same people who go to a hockey game to see a fight breakout and go to Nascar to see somebody wreak in a car and get mangled. Nah, I’m kidding some of you are probably actually genuinely concerned. I appreciate that…
“I’m not done fighting. I am going to win my wife back.
“I’m going to win her affection back, I am going to win her love back. I have no intentions on being a single dad. We’re in counseling so there is hope. It ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings.”
The businessman denied any suggestion either of them had been unfaithful and insisted he doesn’t blame the 32-year-old reality star for wanting to split.
He said: “There’s no cheating or any dumb s**t or any juicy details.
“It’s just she grew tired of the repetitive pattern we fell into. Again, I am not going to get into detail but it was a repetitive pattern and not a good one.”
JWoww filed for divorce two weeks ago and is seeking “primary residential custody” of their children and wants Roger to pay child support, health insurance and other expenses related to healthcare.
And when it comes to their property, she has requested they split anything they acquired during their relationship in half.

Ariana Grande’s pet pig ‘starting to bite’

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson’s pet pig is “starting to bite”.
The engaged couple revealed earlier this month they’ve adopted a micro pig which they named Piggy Smalls – in a tribute to late rapper The Notorious B.I.G., who was also known as Biggy Smalls – and whilst their porky pal looks adorable in photos, 24-year-old Pete is starting to realise why not many people keep the animals as house pets.
He said: “It’s big now! The first two days it was really new and it didn’t move much. But now it’s starting to bite and [headbutt]. So I see why [people don’t keep them in the house].”
The ‘Saturday Night Live’ star was shocked by how fast his 25-year-old fiancée managed to get her hands on a pet pig, as he claims she had adopted one within “an hour” of first stating she wanted one.
He added: “Can I just say, this girl, she was like, ‘I want a pig!’ And then an hour later it was just there. Like I’m still trying to get a Propecia refill for the last two weeks and this chick got a pig in a f**
And it’s not just his array of pets that has changed since he popped the question and moved in with the ‘No Tears Left To Cry’ hitmaker, as he says his life is “getting better”, and he no longer associates himself with bad crowds.
During an appearance on ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ on Thursday (27.09.18), show host Seth said: “I remember you said that back in the day, you would just leave your door open and your friends would have carte blanche to come over and crash on your couch.”
To which Pete replied: “That day is over. I’m am not friends with them no more. That’s the best thing about your life getting better. You don’t have to have out with those kinds of people anymore.”

Bradley Cooper’s life ‘changed’ after dad’s death

OHMYGOSSIP — Bradley Cooper’s life “changed” the moment he watched his father die in his arms.
The 43-year-old actor was left heartbroken in January 2011 when his beloved dad Charles Cooper took his last breath and, although it usually takes a while for a devastating loss like that to hit home for a lot of people, he felt it “instantaneously.”
Speaking to the New York Times newspaper, he said: “It’s a new reality. Everything, everything. It’s not even one thing, it’s a whole new world.
“And it was instantaneous. It wasn’t like, months later. It was like, his last exhale, and I was holding him, and it was like, everything changed.”
Around the time of his father’s death, Bradley was approached for ‘A Star is Born’ – which had Clint Eastwood as director at the time – but he snubbed the opportunity because he didn’t feel he was “weathered” enough at 36 to play Jackson Maine.
However, four years later, the ‘Hangover’ hunk felt he had enough life experience to do the role justice and not only did he star alongside Lady Gaga – who portrayed his lover Ally – but he also made his directorial debut and co-wrote the script.
He explained: “Honestly, I could see it on my face. I just felt it [was right to do].”
Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time Bradley has opened up about his father’s passing as back in 2016 he gave a speech at the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy launch in which he said it was “overwhelming” caring for Charles.
He said at the time: “I can’t even imagine how much more difficult it is for those patients and the families that are less fortunate than I was that simply can’t afford to pay for both treatment and rent.”

Lauren Goodger to do Celebrity First Dates?

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Goodger is reportedly in talks to do ‘Celebrity First Dates’.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star – who hasn’t had much luck when it comes to her dating life over the years – is hoping that the show’s relationship expert Fred Sirieix and his team at Paternoster Chop House in London will set her up with the man of her dreams following her split from jailbird Joey Morrison.
A source told The Sun Online: “Lauren would love to take part in ‘Celebrity First Dates’. She loves to watch the show and thinks it could be really good fun. Plus she might meet her perfect man so it’s a win-win situation.”
The 32-year-old reality TV beauty – who dated Mark Wright on and off for 10 years until he met his now-wife Michelle Keegan – dumped Joey over the summer time after she found out that he had been sexting other women from prison.
She said recently: “I wait it out longer than I should until I’m done and then I get over it. I’ve never been single and you have one life.”
She was later bombarded with questions from her fans, one of which asked how she handles men who cheat with “average girls.”
To which Lauren replied: “They insecure. It’s an ego thing. Boys who talk to loads of girls are very unattractive. I don’t go for money, I go for love. Money is a bonus. I’d rather be happy and loved than lonely and rich (sic).”
Joey was jailed in 2008 for a series of violent drug-related crimes, kidnapping, blackmail and actual bodily harm but, after falling for him last year over a telephone call, Lauren vowed to stick by him and wait until he was released.
However, her promise went unappreciated as she was later forced to split up with him when she found out about his infidelity.
Since then, she’s thrown herself into health and fitness – regularly embarking on bootcamps – to ensure she’s in the best physical and mental shape she can be.
