OHMYGOSSIP — Penelope Cruz “wasn’t happy” about Javier Bardem’s weight gain for their new movie.
The 44-year-old actress and Javier, 49 – who have been married since 2010 – star alongside each other in the crime drama ‘Loving Pablo’, and Javier has admitted his wife wasn’t a fan of his chubby appearance in the movie.
Javier – who portrays Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar in the film – told People: “She wasn’t happy. I mean, she wasn’t happy in the sense that she knew what was coming. She knew what was coming.”
Javier admitted that he and Penelope – who plays journalist Virginia Vallejo – both went on an emotional rollercoaster during the movie’s shoot.
He explained: “There are some scenes that are pretty intense, and she knew that she had to go through that emotional journey because her journey in the movie is pretty, pretty strong.”
Javier plays the role of Escobar during different stages of his life, and the actor admitted he indulged on all sorts of unhealthy treats in order to look the part.
He said: “I gained weight in order to be able to flip through between different weights.
“And there’s a moment where I have the prosthetic, and there’s another moment where I don’t have the prosthetic.”
Meanwhile, Penelope recently revealed that she received the same pay as Javier for ‘Everybody Knows’.
The Academy Award-winning actress stars alongside her real-life husband in the Asghar Farhadi-directed thriller, and Penelope – who plays a Spanish women who returns to her hometown near Madrid – previously confirmed she received the same fee for the movie as Javier.
Asked whether she was given pay parity with her husband, Penelope replied: “Actually, yes.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Shenae Grimes has given birth to a baby girl.
The 28-year-old actress – who portrayed Annie Wilson in the American drama series ‘90210’ – has announced that she and husband Josh Beech welcomed a baby girl named Bowie Scarlett Beech into the world on Thursday (27.09.18).
Shenae – who has shared the first picture of her child on her Instagram account – told People: “We couldn’t be happier to welcome beautiful baby girl Beech into the world.”
Shenae and Josh have been married since 2013, and the actress has been documenting her pregnancy online over the last few months.
Earlier in September, Shenae discussed her changing body, and joked about how pregnancy has caused her to lose some definition in her figure.
She quipped in a vlog: “I’m losing my jawline now. In the past four weeks, my biggest battle has been with my feet and ankles. The swelling has reached new heights.”
Josh was also on-hand to offer some advice to expectant mothers.
He said: “Swimming. I would advise that to any pregnant lady. Lots of swimming.
“I’ve noticed such a big difference in the way you hobble about. It’s a bit more of a street hobble, but before it was more old lady. If you want swag with your pregnancy waddle, swim.”
Meanwhile, Shenae admitted to obsessing about the preparations for the arrival of her first child.
The actress confessed to being anxious about parenthood and so she was determined to ensure she was ready to deal with any potential problems.
She shared: “I do have a little bit of fear and nerves about [being a mom] and that’s why I’m excessively preparing.
“I want to give myself as much comfort and confidence as I can before I dive into this total unknown chapter of life. In a month or so we’re going to have a brand new human that is completely reliant on us.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kanye West invited a homeless man to join him in the recording studio after he performed for the rapper on the street.
The 41-year-old star stopped Nino Blu early on Saturday morning (29.09.18) and was sufficiently impressed with his musical talents to invite him to the studio.
Nino – who recently became homeless – was thrilled that Kanye took the time to talk to him, calling it a “miracle”.
Kanye has posted a video clip of Nino on his Twitter account, with the aspiring star saying he feels “blessed” to have been given a chance by the outspoken rapper.
Later on Saturday, Kanye is to appear on ‘Saturday Night Live’, having replaced Ariana Grande on the show.
The news was recently announced by the show’s executive producer Lorne Michaels, who said that Ariana – whose ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, died of a suspected drug overdose earlier this month – cancelled her appearance for “emotional reasons”.
Lorne said: “We had Ariana drop out for emotional reasons two days ago. And then Kanye stepped up, so he’ll be there.”
Ariana recently admitted on Twitter that she is “so f***ing tired” and is desperately waiting for things to get better.
She wrote on the micro-blogging website: “can i pls have one okay day. just one. pls … i’m so f***ing tired pls … jus wake me up when i’m supposed to sing or whatever. peace (sic)”
Fans immediately tweeted the singer, concerned for her, but she quickly replied to insist she was doing okay on the whole.
She shared: “ty for loving me sm i do not deserve it … ur angels in my life. it’s just been a tough month. i’m trying to get my work done and get back to normal and it’s hard and i’m human and tired. sorry i let u in or worried u. i shouldn’t have tweeted. i kno better. (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Damon Albarn plans to “disappear” from the pop scene.
The 50-year-old star has revealed he is preparing to leave the genre “for a few years” and will instead head to Africa to work on a new project.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: “I’m doing this really fascinating thing in west Africa based on the poem of Sundiata.
“Sort of disappear from pop music and go a bit into new territory for a few years.”
Damon is a strong advocate of African music and has even titled his 2002 album ‘Mali Music’.
Despite his claims about heading to Africa, Damon previously hinted Blur could still make another album together.
The London-born star – who was part of the iconic Britpop group with Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree – said he’s certain they will reunite for live shows, and even teased the possibility of new music.
Damon – whose last album with Blur was 2015’s ‘The Magic Whip’ – said: “A reunion is never not a possibility. I think most definitely at some point we’ll play those songs again. I’d hate to think I’d never play with those musicians again.
“But it has just got to be the right time. You want to feel that people really, really, really want you to do it, otherwise you’re kind of becoming a tribute act to yourself. You destroy everything that you’ve created if you do.”
Damon admitted he sometimes gets tempted to play one of Blur’s songs during his live shows with Gorillaz, which he formed in 1998 with Jamie Hewlett.
He explained: “Some days I really fancy doing a Blur song in the middle of a Gorillaz set. I’ve never tried it, but I probably shouldn’t.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashley Roberts tops the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ leaderboard after the second week of the competition.
The 37-year-old pop star – who was installed as the pre-show favourite to lift the coveted trophy – and her ‘Strictly’ partner Pasha Kovalev wowed the judges with their performance to ‘Boogie Wonderland’, scoring an impressive 32.
The blonde beauty – who starred in the chart-topping girl group The Pussycat Dolls – is followed on the leaderboard by Faye Tozer and Giovanni Pernice, who scored 60 for both of their dances.
On the other hand, Susannah Constantine and Anton Du Beke were left languishing at the foot of the table after scoring a meagre 12 points with their latest effort.
In fact, they suffered the embarrassment of being awarded the lowest-ever score for a Foxtrot in the entire history of the BBC programme.
The previous lowest score for a Foxtrot was 16, which was awarded to actress Chizzy Akudolu and Pasha for their routine last year.
Bruno Tonioli delivered a withering assessment of their performance.
He said: “I’m stunned. I think Anton you could have got a better movement out of a lamppost. You were just dragging her!”
Fellow judge Craig Revel-Horwood was similarly unimpressed.
He explained: “Even the smoke sadly couldn’t cover that complete dance disaster.”
But Shirley Ballas was more enthusiastic about the routine, saying it was “definitely better this week than last week”.

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Cowell reduced Bella Penfold to tears as he awarded her a safe seat on ‘The X Factor’ earlier this evening (29.09.18).
The music mogul was so impressed by Bella’s performance of Stormzy’s ‘Blinded By Your Grace’ – which also drew praise from the other judges – that he decided to reward her with the Golden X, which means she cannot be swapped out of the competition during the round.
But following her performance, Simon explained: “Bella, I’m not sure this is going to make me very popular, but I can’t give you a seat.”
The whole arena then started to boo Simon.
At that moment, he revealed his reasoning, getting up out of his chair, walking towards the stage and smashing the secure seat button.
The incident prompted fellow judge Louis Tomlinson to admit: “You had me fooled there!”
Simon added: “Now we have to decide which of those chairs you’re going to fill.”
Meanwhile, Robbie heaped praise on Bella’s performance, saying: “I think you’re phenomenal, I really do. Great vocals, great rapping. You got Wembley buzzy.”
Ayda Field said: “Bella it’s not polished, it’s raw, you’ve got so much going for you.”
Louis was similarly impressed, adding: “Bella, thank you, because my pet hate, is every Tom, Dick and Harry thinking they can rap. But you should be rapping.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Robert Pattinson and his new co-star Mia Goth are reportedly amused by rumours that their exes are dating.
The 32-year-old actor and Mia, 24 – who have recently been promoting their new film ‘High Life’ – are said to be unsurprised that FKA twigs and Shia LaBeouf have been spending time together, according to E! News.
Shia, 32, split from Mia after two years of dating, while FKA dated Robert from 2014 until 2017.
The duo have not yet commented on the relationship rumours, but were recently spotted together outside her home in London.
Robert is said to have adopted a “don’t care” attitude about the speculation, although he is keen to support his co-star – who is now trying to move on with her life – through the situation.
The ‘Twilight’ actor is currently dating model Suki Waterhouse and their relationship is said to be going from strength to strength.
Meanwhile, the British heartthrob recently admitted he nearly gave up Hollywood to live in a camper van.
Speaking about his unusual ambition, Robert shared: “I nearly did it, I was 100 per cent going to live in a van, but not just any van – a stealth van!
“It’s a special niche, not like living in a trailer. Stealth vans look like a normal Transit van, so you can park on the street, put signs on saying you’re a plumber or whatever and no one would notice. You can just leave in the middle of the night and, like, drive to Nebraska.
“I’d love that so much. And I was like, ‘I’m still young, this is my chance…'”
On why he never went through with it, he added: “Once you build a toilet and shower yourself, you can’t get it insured and blah, blah, blah.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Claire Foy is still dealing with “the same old crap” despite her recent success.
The award-winning actress – who is best-known for her acclaimed performance in the Netflix series ‘The Crown’ – has revealed that contrary to her expectations, success hasn’t made her life any easier.
She shared: “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.”
Claire, 34 – who has a three-year-old daughter called Ivy Rose – explained that in spite of the fame and fortune that’s come her way over recent years, her problems have not disappeared.
However, the actress insisted she’s learned to contextualise the different aspects of her life, saying she’s now ready to “take care” of herself.
She told the Guardian newspaper: “All your s**t – and everybody has s**t – it doesn’t go away. It’s still there, but I guess I don’t believe it so much any more. I used to think that this was my lot in life, to be anxious. And that I would struggle and struggle and struggle with it, and that it would make me quite miserable, and that I’d always be restricted.
“But now I’m able to disassociate myself from it more. I know that it’s just something I have – and that I can take care of myself.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the gospel choir who performed at their wedding change their musical arrangement 11 times before it was “absolutely right”.
The Kingdom Choir provided one of the main talking points of the celebration with their rendition of ‘Stand By Me’ and the couple were “very involved” with their performance, but it was changed and “stripped back” so many times, Meghan and Harry didn’t get to hear the final version until they were in St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle to say their vows.
Leader Karen Gibson told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “We didn’t just turn up and sing. Harry and Meghan were very involved because they knew exactly how they wanted that song performed…
“We were asked to sing ‘Stand By Me’ so we put down an arrangement that was pure gospel – it was a really full on sound, which we are used to singing.
“Gospel music is all about the cherries on top and it’s not about stinting on anything. But we got word back that they wanted a little less, so we did a second version that had an Etta James arrangement, but again we had word back that it wasn’t right.”
Initial communication was made on email via a royal aide but the group eventually went to Kensington Palace for an informal meeting with the former ‘Suits’ actress and the prince.
Karen said: “We went into a few new arrangements and heard what they had to say.
“Paul [Lee] took the lead on the song, though we planned to use a different singer on the day.
“We thought we’d done a very simple version but they wanted it even more simple, so we were back to the drawing board.”
After making so many changes, the group were “nervous” about the couple’s reaction to their performance on the big day, but had nothing to worry about.
Karen said: “While we weren’t nervous about performing, I was nervous as to whether this would be exactly what they wanted. It felt incredible on the day…”
Soprano Elaine Simpson added: “We all hoped they loved it and then when they walked back down the aisle Meghan mouthed, ‘Thank you’.
“Prince Charles leaned in and said, ‘That was amazing.’ That felt wonderful. But the whole experience was so completely special. I think it was surreal for everyone.”

OHMYGOSSIP — David Beckham is buying a pub.
The 43-year-old retired footballer and his friend Guy Ritchie – who already owns the Lukin pub in west London and has hit own Gritchie Brewing Company on his farm in Wiltshire – are splashing out £3 million on the Walmer Castle in Notting Hill, also West London, and the sportsman is planning an extensive redesign of his new business.
A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: “He can’t wait to get stuck into making it just as he wants it.”
The pub is the latest business venture for David, who has been busy launching his MLS soccer team Inter Miami FC.
And he recently admitted he had “always dreamed” of having his own team in the Florida city.
He said in July: “I’m passionate about the game. I’m passionate about being successful. I’ve played professional soccer for the last 22 years. I could have gone to another city, but this was always my city. It’s always where I wanted to have our team.”
mpagne for £75.
The former England captain – who has four children, Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 16, Cruz, 13, and seven-year-old Harper, with wife Victoria – has spent four years trying to get his MLF franchise, which he part owns with Bolivian entrepreneur Marcelo Claure, off the ground.
He said: “It has been a process. It’s been painful at times. I think the fact that it has taken this long, the fact that it’s taken four years actually has worked as a positive.
“I’ve always believed in the project. That’s why, for me, I never gave up. I knew Miami was the city. I knew this was going to be special. There have been many (hurdles). I’m a persistent person and I don’t like to lose.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Woody Harrelson thinks he’d have been a “criminal” if he hadn’t become an actor.
The 57-year-old actor enjoys the nice lifestyle he has due to fame and knows it’s something he’d have wanted if he hadn’t had a successful film and TV career so would have resorted to illegal means in order to be comfortable.
Asked what he’d have done if he wasn’t an actor, he told Radio Times magazine: “A criminal. I just know me, I know how I think.
“I would have wanted this lifestyle but I probably wouldn’t have done all the work necessary. And so I would have become a thief or a drug dealer.
“Playing a thief in ‘Solo’ did feel like putting on a glove that really fits.”
The ‘Hunger Games’ star – who has three daughters with wife Laura Louie – got his big break in sitcom ‘Cheers’ and he revealed he’s heading back to the small screen soon, all being well.
He said: “I am coming back [to TV]. I have two projects I want to do. Better not mention them because nothing is real yet, but there’s two things I think are great that I’ll probably do.”
The ‘True Detective’ actor likes the fact TV allows him to spend more time with a character – and he thinks that’s great for viewers too.
He said: “The advantage of TV filming is that you’re in one place for a while. And that’s cool if you’re going to be with your family.
“And you get to explore a character for a little deeper and longer. I know as a viewer there are these characters you fall in love with and if it was just two hours and then you didn’t ever see them again, it’d be a drag.
“Like ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ – if that was two hours I’d feel cheated.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Cheryl will return to ‘The X Factor’ in November.
The 35-year-old singer – who was a judge on the talent show from 2008 to 2011 and again in 2014-2015 – has reportedly agreed to sing her comeback single, ‘Love Made Me Do It’, on the show, marking her first performance in four years.
Cheryl was inundated with offers to debut the track on various TV shows but decided to stay “loyal” to ‘X Factor’, rather than performing on one of its rivals.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Inevitably, all of the big TV shows have been fighting to get Cheryl’s first performance as it will be a huge ratings winner.
“But she has decided to remain loyal to ‘The X Factor’ rather than give the exclusive to its rival, BBC’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
“And Cheryl will be pulling out all of the stops to make sure that this is one of her most talked-about performances to date.”
But the expletive-ridden song – which references Cheryl’s recent split with ex-boyfriend Liam Payne – will be toned down for the prime time TV slot.
The source added: “Cheryl will perform the radio-friendly version, rather than having some of her lyrics bleeped out.”
It was recently revealed the song is very “edgy” an as well as her split from Liam – the father of Cheryl’s 18-month-old son Bear – the former Girls Aloud singer has also drawn reference to her failed marriages to Ashley Cole and Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini on the track.
A source said: “It is a very edgy pop-dance track and not a typical song which you would expect from Cheryl.
“She’s not holding back on her feelings and inevitably it will lead to a lot of speculation.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Peter Andre’s wife doesn’t want any more children for a “few years”.
The ‘Mysterious Girl’ hitmaker – who already has Amelia, four, and 22-month-old son Theodore with his spouse Emily – recently claimed the doctor “melts” at the idea of having another baby but she’s insisted she’d rather focus on her career in the near future than take more time out.
She wrote in her column for OK! magazine: “Pete said in a recent interview that he wants one more child but I can’t say I’m on the same page at the moment.
“I think he’s forgotten about the sleepless nights with Theo at the start.
“Maybe when I’ve dedicated a few years to my career I will think about having some more as I really want to get stuck into it next year.”
But Emily could have a change of heart as now Amelia has started school, and Peter’s older children, Junior, 13, and 11-year-old Princess – who he has with ex-wife Katie Price – are back at their studies, she’s finding their home very quiet.
She said: “Millie had her first full week in school last week. She’s doing so well and it has really made her come out of her shell.
“It has been so strange with just Theo in the house and when he has a long nap during the day, I don’t know what to do with myself. It was so busy with the kids over the summer that these quiet times will take some getting used to.”
Peter, 45, recently admitted he thinks it would be “nice” to have another baby in their household.
He said: “Emily does melt at the thought of having another child. She’s such a good mum.
“When we’re all here in the house there are so many joyous moments, so it might be nice to add another child into the mix.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Take That are teaming up with Sir Barry Gibb for their 30th anniversary.
The trio – comprising Mark Owen, Gary Barlow, and Howard Donald – are recording a new version of Barry’s group the Bee Gees’ hit ‘How Deep Is Your Love’, which they first covered in 1996, as well as a new song with the 72-year-old music legend.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Barry may not be your typical boy band member but he’s a British music legend.
“Obviously the Bee Gees influenced Take That’s early years massively.
“The lads cannot wait to get in the studio.”
The recording session with Barry will feature on a one-hour TV special to mark the group’s anniversary, with occasional member Robbie Williams – who quit the band in 1996, shunned their 2005 reunion but returned briefly in 2012 for the ‘Progress’ album and tour – also expected to appear, though it is unclear if former member Jason Orange will be involved.
And fans tuning in will also be treated to previously-unseen intimate footage of the ‘Back for Good’ hitmakers.
The group said: “We’ve handed over our own personal camcorders from the ’90s and asked fans to share their stories.”
The trio recently unveiled plans for a huge anniversary tour next year, as well as ‘Odyssey’, a compilation featuring reworked versions of their classic hits.
Gary said about the album: “Some have been reworked, but without spoiling what people loved about them in the first place.
“You’ve got to be respectful, but at the same time, you’ve got to let the ambition of doing something new and refreshed come through as well.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jane Danson is set to take part in the next series of ‘Dancing On Ice’.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress has reportedly signed up for the celebrity skating show, which will return to ITV next year, in what will be her reality TV debut, sources told MailOnline.
News of the 39-year-old actress’ involvement in the show comes after it was recently claimed former Westlife singer Brian McFadden will also be taking part.
A source said: “Brian is about to sign on the dotted line and is really looking forward to being part of the show.”
Next year’s line-up is also rumoured to include ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star Gemma Collins, 37, ‘Big Brother’s Big on the Side’ presenter Rylan Clark-Neal, 29, and 20-year-old former ‘Love Island’ contestant Wes Nelson.
An insider recently said: “Wes has boundless energy and he’s already displayed great rhythm on Love Island, so ‘Dancing On Ice’ execs thought he’d be a great choice for the series.”
And a source said of Gemma: “Gemma was one of the first names they wanted to sign.
“They made her a big offer and are confident she will be one of the stars of the show this year.
“They think viewers will love to see her show off her dancing skills, particularly as ‘Strictly’ turned her down.”
‘Dancing on Ice’ fans have speculated TV presenter Gaby Roslin or ‘Emmerdale’ actress Emma Atkins may have signed up for the show after the programme’s official Twitter account shared a picture of a woman with blonde hair, but didn’t reveal her name.
Jake Quickenden won this year’s contest, which was the first series of the show since it was axed in 2014.

OHMYGOSSIP — Lisa Snowdon isn’t bothered if she doesn’t get married.
The 46-year-old model got engaged to businessman boyfriend George Smart last December but they haven’t started planning their wedding yet and she’s taking a “chilled” approach to her prospective nuptials.
She said: “I am so unconventional – I have never been married before, never been engaged, I’m not having children.
“So if we get married, we get married. If we don’t, we don’t. Honestly, I am so chilled about it.
“Don’t get me wrong, I want to be with George for the rest of my life but I’m not driven by a wedding ceremony.
“We might just run away or go do it with some friends.”
Though she isn’t placing too much importance on getting married, Lisa thinks she’s finally found the right man for her.
She told Closer magazine: “Being in love is wicked. I think George is gorgeous and we really fancy each other – but it’s more than that with us.
“He boosts me up when I’m feeling down and makes me feel like I am invincible.
“He has got such a positive energy and is a beautiful soul – he’s so caring.
“It’s taken so long to find someone who compliments me. We feel like a team. He’s my friend, as well as everything else.”
The couple dated briefly 15 years ago but got together properly in 2015 and the brunette beauty thinks the lengthy stint apart was important.
She said: “Timing is everything. Our relationship wouldn’t have worked all those years ago.
“We both needed to go through what we needed to go through, live our lives, make our mistakes.
“People say, ‘Only look forward’ but I think, sometimes, you have to look back. It worked for me!”
