Heather Locklear: Recovery is the best revenge

OHMYGOSSIP — Heather Locklear thinks recovery is “the best revenge” for addiction.
The 56-year-old actress – who is said to have checked herself into rehab in July – has taken to her Instagram account to post a heartfelt message about someone close to her who died after fighting an addiction.
She wrote: “Addiction is ferocious and will try to take you down. Recovery is the best revenge. Be kind to everyone you meet, your light just might change their path. Rest in peace beautiful Josh. You touched my [heart emoji] (sic)”
Heather was hospitalised back in June after allegedly taking an overdose.
The ‘Melrose Place’ actress was reportedly taken by ambulance from her home in Thousand Oaks, California, to a nearby medical facility.
Heather was said to have been planning to check herself in for treatment but seemingly overdosed just hours after she was bailed out of jail for allegedly punching an officer and kicking a paramedic.
Officers were reportedly alerted to the situation by a family member, who informed them of a disturbance near her home.
The actress was said to have been heavily intoxicated at the time of the call, according to TMZ, which reported she was visibly angry when the law enforcement officers arrived at the scene.
Heather had to be separated from members of her family by a deputy, and she then reportedly threw a punch in the midst of the dispute.
Paramedics arrived on the scene and they put Heather on a gurney, but she allegedly responded to their help by kicking an emergency medical technician.
Heather was initially taken to hospital to receive treatment, and she was later taken to jail, where she was held on $20,000 bail.

Bruce Forsyth left behind £5.6m bonus for wife

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Bruce Forsyth left behind a bonus £5.6 million to his wife in a company account.
The late entertainment legend – who died last year aged 89 – left his Bruce Forsyth Promotions company to his wife Lady Wilnelia, who he left most of his £11.7 million estate to.
According to the Daily Express newspaper, the former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ co-host’s productions company had built up £5.56 million in cash, accounts have revealed.
Bruce is thought to have left everything to his 60-year-old wife Lady Forsyth-Johnson after funeral and legal expenses to avoid inheritable tax, because had he left his fortune to anyone else, excluding charity, a 40 per cent tax would’ve been due on everything over £325,000.
Probate records show he did leave £100,000 to be split between his nine grandchildren when they turn 21, and an additional £20,000 to two executors his estate, but the rest of his £11.7 million went to Wilnelia, who could then give away £650,000 without paying additional tax.
A spokesman for his estate previously said: “All I would say is that I think 99.9 per cent of married people would do this.”
Bruce – who earned £650,000 per series for co-hosting ‘Strictly’ – had previously been outspoken about income tax, saying he thinks a person’s money should go to their children rather than the country.
He said: “I think your inheritance should go to your children more than back to the country that you’ve lived in.
“I’m not saying you don’t owe the country something. Of course, you owe your country a lot for living there all those years.
“But I think it can be a bit over the top.”
Bruce had kids Debbie, Julie and Laura from his 20-year marriage to first wife Penny Calvert; Charlotte and Louisa from his second marriage to Anthea Redfern, and Jonathan Joseph ‘JJ’ Forsyth-Johnson from his third marriage to Wilnelia.
Wilnelia has a close relationship with her step-children and previously praised Bruce’s daughters for being so welcoming when she married their father.
She has said: “I couldn’t sleep the night before [meeting them for the first time]. I changed my clothes 100 times; I put my hair up, then took it down, I wanted to look older. [My friend] Teresa said, ‘Just be yourself.’
“The girls welcomed me so quickly. I feel that when you give love you get love back – it’s as simple as that – and I have loved them from the start. Charlotte and Louisa were only four and five when we met. All credit to their mothers for the way they raised them. The girls have been my friends.”

Cher reveals ‘nerdy’ fitness secrets

OHMYGOSSIP — Cher admits Zumba is her “nerdy” fitness secret.
The 72-year-old star has managed to stay in incredible shape during a career spanning six decades, and she has now opened up about her secrets to staying fit and healthy.
Speaking to ‘Extra’, shared: “[I plank] for two or three minutes every day … Not just that, but it’s a really good thing to do. [And] it’s kinda embarrassing but I love Zumba. I know people make fun of it, it’s kinda nerdy, but I love it.”
The ‘Believe’ hitmaker is set to be recognised at the Kennedy Centre Honours ceremony – a distinction given to artists who have made extraordinary contributions to culture.
But Cher admitted there is pressure involved in meeting expectations after such an illustrious career.
She explained: “I am getting the awards because of who I am and now I have to live up to who I am … It’s like winning an Academy Award.
“It’s like people saying, ‘Yeah, you did something.’ I was praying to get it when Obama was president; I wanted it so bad, but I missed out … I feel really honoured to receive it and I feel really happy [Donald Trump] won’t be there.”
Meanwhile, Cher recently revealed she is currently single and “on the lookout” for love, even if her fame and the era of social media make romance difficult to navigate.
When asked if she has a partner, she said: “Not … not this week. I’m still on the lookout.
“The problem I have with all the boyfriends lately is that I don’t want to go any place with them because you can’t keep a relationship going in this kind of goldfish bowl, where everything you do and every picture you have taken will be on Instagram.
“There’s no way to keep something special.”

Kardashian Trust ‘buys $12m Coachella mansion’

OHMYGOSSIP — The Kardashian Trust has reportedly bought a $12 million mansion in the Coachella area.
The trust representing the world-famous reality TV family has decided to splash out on the seven-bedroom, 11,000-square-foot property in La Quinta’s Madison Club.
The luxury abode is situated close to the site of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which is where Kylie Jenner first met her now-boyfriend Travis Scott.
A source told the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column: “It lies just across the street from where the annual Coachella festival is.”
The insider jokingly added: “There goes the neighbourhood.”
It remains unclear which member of the Kardashian family was the driving force behind the purchase, although records show that the buyer has links to Kris Jenner, according to the Desert Sun newspaper.
Representatives for Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West have denied that they were behind the purchase.
Other well-known people who live close to the Coachella site include Nike chairman Phil Knight and golf champion Phil Mickelson.
Meanwhile, Kim has reportedly insisted she’s not moving to Chicago, despite her husband telling a crowd last week that he was returning to his home city and “never leaving again”.
A source said: “Kim’s whole life is in LA – her family, her offices, her trainer, her stylists and her staff. About 25 people would have to move with her!”
The reality TV beauty – who has kids North, five, Saint, two, and eight-month-old Chicago – is determined to raise her children close to the rest of her family.
The insider added: “She loves her kids growing up so close to their cousins and she loves seeing her mum and her sisters every day. She’s never lived anywhere but LA, and she’s upset that Kanye is saying things like this publicly when they haven’t even talked about moving. She’s told him it’s not happening.”

Bronagh Waugh’s rehab lap dance for Joe Tracini

OHMYGOSSIP — Bronagh Waugh treated Joe Tracini to a lap dance while he was in rehab to help cheer him up.
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ actress – who played Cheryl Brady in the Channel 4 soap from 2009 to 2013 – has recalled visiting her co-star (Dennis Savage) in The Priory when he was going through a “particularly dark time”, and while she joked her antics looked “pathetic” because she had a slipped disc, she made him laugh.
In a series of tweets, Bronagh wrote: “I’ll never forget visiting @joetracini in rehab with our @EmmettScanlan after a particularly dark time 4 him & being at a total loss of what 2do 2 help him or stop him.I made him placards of 10 reasons why we loved him & he shouldn’t kill himself 2 #ToyStory #YouveGotAFriendInMe
“And then I did the Workd’s worst lip synch lap dance (fully clothed) & hobbling because of my bad back to #NaughtyByNature ‘s #Sunshine just to try & make him laugh…
“It worked. Because it was pathetic. I was pathetic. Hobbling around with a slipped disc rapping profanities about female labia being like kittens & sunshine…but he laughed. I laughed. Scan laughed. And we loved hard. Because what else can you do…?
PS. I’m never lap dancing for you in The Priory ever again…I’m WAY too old!! (sic)”
Joe – who recently opened up about suffering from suicidal thoughts – replied: “And it will never, ever move from my top 3 most beautiful things that have ever happened to me. (sic)”
Bronagh is “so glad” Joe is “still here” after he tried to take his own life six years ago, and she has called for the 30-year-old star to be given his own sitcom.
She wrote: “I for one am so f**king glad our Joe is still here, still battling on, fighting the fight, showing up, doing the work & talking about it. That’s all we can do. As Joey said…’life is just a series of moments’ this too shall pass.
I love you Joe….
And I’m so buckin’ glad & happy you’re still in my life.
Now can you stop fannying around & write this bloody book & someone give him his BUCKIN’ SITCOM?!?!?!
K???! Xxxxxx (sic)”
Bronagh has encouraged others to make their friends laugh if they are “struggling” with life.
She tweeted: “If you know your friend is struggling and you don’t know what to do…that’s ok. Just show up. Be a nerd. Make them laugh. Make a d**k out of yourself because that dark moment for them will pass…for a time. And then they can keep on keeping on…hopefully.
The road is long & winding and there is no quick fix solution but it’s so important we talk to each other. Show up & be there for each other. Listen. (sic)”
Joe got emotional on live TV this week while discussing his demons, admitting his brain sometimes tells him that taking his own life is the “best and only option” he has.
He said: “Something I’ve learnt is life is a stack of moments and you can only ever see one at a time, and sometimes my brain tells me that taking my life is the best and only option I’ve got.
“I know this happens to a lot of people.
“I think the important thing to tell myself and anybody else is that in that moment you might feel like that and you might feel like that in the next one, but there will always be a moment where you won’t feel like that.
“So please wait for it.”

Ed Sheeran announces homecoming shows

OHMYGOSSIP — Ed Sheeran has announced homecoming shows in Suffolk and Leeds.
The 27-year-old star grew up in Framlingham, Suffolk, and currently resides in a small village with his fiancée Cherry Seaborn in the county, and now he’s set to play his first concert there since 2014 – when the ‘Shape of You’ hitmaker performed at The Steamboat pub in Ipswich.
The flame-haired singer/songwriter will headline two shows at Ipswich’s Chantry Park on August 23 and August 24, 2019.
Though Ed grew up in Suffolk, Ed was born in Halifax, Yorkshire, and he’s also going to perform at Roundhay Park on August 16 and August 17.
If Ed feels like he’s missing out on anything when playing in Suffolk, the ‘Perfect’ singer – who penned the hit song ‘Castle on the Hill’ about speeding down a country lane in Suffolk – can always pop back to his nearby pad, which comes complete with his own pub in a barn.
Speaking previously about his passion project, he said: “Yeah it’s getting there I’ve built a pub. Like I had a bar before, a bar where you could pour beers but now this has like a selection of beers which is cool.
“So basically there’s an underground tunnel to get there that you can close off. So if I have a party everyone goes in the pub and no one can get in the house so you get no one, raiding the cupboards or smashing anything. You have to go underground to get to the pub.”
Ed is also set to perform in London on November 15, 2018, at the BBC Radio Theatre for the ‘Radio 2 In Concert’ series – along with the likes of Paul Weller, Sir Cliff Richard, Emeli Sande and Boy George and Culture Club – and he’s promised fans lucky enough to bag tickets to the intimate live broadcast gig that he’ll be performing all of his hits.
He said: “I think the best thing to do at those sort of gigs is to play the songs people want to hear.
“That’s the kind of key thing as an entertainer, to entertain people, so I think I’m just going to play songs that people like.”
Tickets for the 2019 shows go on sale 27 September.
Fans can apply for a limited number of free tickets for the ‘Radio 2 in Concert’ series online at bbc.co.uk/radio2.
Applications open at 8pm on September 19 and close at 8pm on October 1.

Boy George talks spiritual growth on Culture Club song Life

OHMYGOSSIP — Boy George reflects on his “spiritual growth” on Culture Club’s new song ‘Life’.
The ‘Karma Chameleon’ hitmaker and his bandmates have released the second single from their first album in 20 years, which is inspired by the late Beatles frontman John Lennon’s famous quote: “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”
George, 57 – who has previously battled drug and alcohol addiction – touches on recovery and also takes into account his life achievements on the track, which he says also carries an “uplifting” message of “hope”.
He said: “John Lennon said ‘Life’ is what happens while you are busy doing other things, but sometimes you have to stop and look with sadness and pride at what you have done and created in your own life and value the rich complexity of it!
As the lyricist of ‘Life’ I wanted to express something truthful, honest and bare while carrying an uplifting message of hope. It’s my story but it’s a story so many people will resonate with.
“A story of recovery, transformation and the start of a brand new journey which has already brought Culture Club well deserved accolades. It’s a song about second chances and new beginnings, enlightenment, spiritual growth and personal redemption.”
The album title track follows the release of the lead single ‘Let Somebody Love You’.
The group – which also features Jon Moss, Ro Hay and Mikey Craig – had previously performed the song live but had never released a recorded version of the track.
The song features the lyrics: “Love is revolution/War and famine too/If you’ve the hunger in your heart/Let somebody love you.”
The new album, which is available for pre-order and is released on October 26, will be followed ‘The Life Tour’, which will also feature Belinda Carlisle and Tom Bailey from Thompson Twins.
It kicks off in Nottingham on November 9 and calls to 11 cities, ending in Leeds on November 23.
George said of the tour: “We put together an amazing show that is going to be filled with hits and fabulous memories.”
Culture Club formed in 1981, split in 1986 and reformed numerous times, most recently in 2014.

Graham Norton quit Tinder because of ‘broken people’

OHMYGOSSIP — Graham Norton ditched Tinder because he didn’t want to meet “broken people”.
The 55-year-old chat show host split from his ex Andrew Smith three years ago, and he didn’t have much luck with online dating before deciding to quit the app.
Speaking to Closer magazine, he explained: “I was on Tinder a couple of years ago, but I’m not on it now. I felt like I’d done it. There’s a law of diminishing returns on Tinder.
“I met a few people and thought, ‘God, there are a lot of broken people in the world and I don’t really need to meet them’ – I don’t need to be part of their damage.”
Graham joked that alcohol is one of his passions now, and although he’s drinking less nowadays he’s wary of admitting it.
He added: “Booze is one of my great loves. Lots of people drink, so it’s not like I have a niche interest.
“I’ve probably started drinking less as I’ve got older but if I say, ‘I’ve cut down,’ then I feel like the prigs have won.
“I think people should drink whatever they want to drink, because drinking is fun!”
The star previously revealed he wouldn’t use Grindr – a geosocial networking mobile app geared towards gay and bisexual men – in his quest for love because he didn’t think his employers at the BBC would approve of the app.
Opening up on his reasons for snubbing the service, he said: “I couldn’t do Grindr because of what it is and because I work for the BBC.
“But I felt Tinder was socially acceptable, I could do Tinder.”

Penny Lancaster becomes police officer for new reality show

OHMYGOSSIP — Penny Lancaster has joined one of the country’s busiest police forces for a new reality show.
The ‘Loose Women’ panellist will be part of Channel 4’s upcoming programme ‘Famous and Fighting Crime’, which sees celebrities volunteer with the Cambridgeshire constabulary as they respond to real 999 calls, work in custody and take part in high-risk raids.
Penny – who is married to Rod Stewart – will be joined on the show by several other stars, including current ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ contestant Katie Piper, ‘Made In Chelsea’ favourite Jamie Laing, comedian Marcus Brigstocke and ‘Gogglebox’ star Sandi Bogle.
An insider told The Sun’s Bizarre TV column: “It’s a wacky idea but all five of them will get stuck in and do their bit while joining the everyday heroes who keep Britain’s streets safe.
“Criminals are sure to be in for a shock when they see the sight of Penny and co chasing them down the road after ­getting up to no good.
“It would be enough to stop anyone in their tracks. They really threw themselves into the job – and it will definitely be great to watch.”
The series is set to be screen later this year with four hour-long episodes.
The stars on the show will be part of a team of 12,000 volunteer officers in towns and cities across the country, who have the same powers of a warranted police officer.
However, while working alongside their regular colleagues they carry out their duties around their own lives in their spare time.

Bonnie Langford’s ‘broken’ EastEnders inspiration

OHMYGOSSIP — Bonnie Langford took inspiration from the “broken” parents of knife crime victims during her hard-hitting ‘EastEnders’ scenes.
The 54-year-old actress’ alter-ego Carmel Kazemi was left devastated following the loss of her son Shakil Kazemi (Shaheen Jafargholi) when he was tragically stabbed to death by a gang, and the former ‘Doctor Who’ star worked hard on portraying a “mother’s grief” accurately to do the plot justice.
Bonnie – who has quit the show – said: “When we see something awful happening, when you see a press call or people outside a court saying ‘I want justice. I want this never to happen to anybody else. This needs to stop.’
“With something like a soap, you’re able to go behind closed doors and see how it actually affects people. For me, it was Carmel’s grief, it was a mother’s grief. And that these people are broken.”
Shakil’s funeral episode saw a soap first when parents of real-life victims appeared throughout the ep to tell their stories, and Bonnie found it “very emotional” shooting the scenes.
She said: “That day that we were filming this was just the most extraordinary day. It was very calm. It was very peaceful, but very, very emotional.
“I went over to the one of the ladies who was breaking down. I just wondered if this was too much, actually. I went over and I gave her a hug, and I said, ‘Are you okay?’. She was bursting into tears. She said, ‘It’s so funny. I didn’t cry for my own son’s funeral, yet I’m crying now’.
“It was almost as if she’d been given permission … It was almost as if everybody there understood that they had that common, awful bond.”
Bonnie has confirmed she has finishing filming on ‘EastEnders’ ahead of her exit, and hasn’t ruled out a potential return to the soap.
When asked on ‘The One Show’ if she will return to the soap, she added: “I can’t say.”
Bonnie announced in July that she was leaving the soap after a three-and-a-half year stint.
She said at the time: “I’ve had a wonderful three-and-a-half years at ‘EastEnders’ and it’s been a privilege to be part of such an iconic show.
“My storyline has been such an incredible experience and I’m honoured to be part of something so powerful and poignant.
“However, I’ve known since the beginning of this storyline it would always lead to Carmel having to take a break from Walford.”

Cary Fukunaga named as the director of Bond 25

OHMYGOSSIP — Cary Fukunaga is the new director of ‘Bond 25’.
The 41-year-old director – who previously helmed the 2011 romantic drama ‘Jane Eyre’ and 2015’s ‘Beasts of No Nation’ – has been announced as the man to replace Danny Boyle, who walked away from the project over “creative differences”.
Producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said: “We are delighted to be working with Cary. His versatility and innovation make him an excellent choice for our next James Bond adventure.”
It’s been confirmed, too, that the movie – which is being filmed at Pinewood Studios in March next year – will be released on February 14, 2020.
The movie’s future was thrown into doubt in the aftermath of Boyle’s exit from the project, with speculation suggesting that it could face a lengthy delay.
However, the speedy appointment of Fukunaga has ensured that ‘Bond 25’ – which is expected to be Daniel Craig’s last outing as the British spy – won’t be badly hindered by Boyle’s abrupt departure.
The much-discussed movie was originally slated for release in November 2019.
Meanwhile, a source previously claimed that Boyle’s decision to walk away from the movie centred on plans to kill off Bond.
The source said: “There were discussions about killing off Bond in dramatic fashion at the end. It would also leave it open for a twist in the next instalment – either Bond hadn’t died or there could be a ‘Doctor Who’-esque regeneration with a new actor.
“There were clashes over budget and there’s pandemonium among crew with people leaving the production left, right and centre.”
The decision to quit the project was announced on the movie’s official Twitter page.
The post read: “Michael G Wilson, Barbara Broccoli [producers] and Daniel Craig today announced that due to creative differences Danny Boyle has decided to no longer direct Bond 25 (sic)”

Julian Fellowes says Downton Abbey movie feels like a ‘happy school reunion’

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Downton Abbey’ creator Julian Fellowes admits filming the upcoming movie has felt like a very “happy” school reunion.
The 69-year-old screenwriter is thrilled to have been reunited with the cast of the hit TV show, but he concedes that transforming the programme into a movie isn’t going to be a straightforward process.
He explained: “In life you can’t let yourself be daunted by the fact that it doesn’t work out for some people.
“You just have to keep charging on and have a go and do your best … I don’t think one should expect everything to be a triumph.
“I’ve done my best, I know the cast are doing their best and I think it will be fun. But I won’t count any chickens, thank you, until it is out, until we know how it is doing.”
Julian has already enjoyed success in the movie business, with his 2001 film ‘Gosford Park’ winning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
But he’s admitted that transitioning from TV to cinema does present some big challenges.
He told the BBC: “[In a series] we usually give the big stories to maybe three characters a week … By the end of the series everyone would have big stories and it would all be plaited together.
“In a film you can’t do that. Every character you include you must have their own story. The viewer can judge whether or not I have been successful, I wouldn’t make any claims.
“I had to make sure every story of every character was completed within the movie. That did take a certain amount jiggery-pokery, but I am pleased with where we came to and very pleased with the reassembled cast.”
Julian recently reunited with the cast on the set of the movie, and he’s admitted it was a “very happy” moment.
He said: “It was a very happy time for us all. It was a big hit all over the world. It was a very nice cast and I think they made a lot of good friends among them so there was something of a reunion like the first day back at school… a very happy school.”

Paul Feig says ‘Ghostheads’ enjoyed his Ghostbusters reboot

OHMYGOSSIP — Paul Feig thinks “real Ghostheads” enjoyed his female-led ‘Ghostbusters’ movie.
The 56-year-old director has insisted that even though the 2016 reboot was widely criticised, it actually transpired to be a success, winning various accolades at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards last year.
He shared: “I only made ‘Ghostbusters’ because I wanted to entertain an audience. And all my movies are that way.
“When all that backlash happened it was easy to get caught up in it. But when all the smoke cleared, suddenly we won the Kid’s Choice award from Nickelodeon for best movie over ‘Rogue’ One and ‘Captain America’, it was like ‘OK, good. It did entertain the audience it was kind of intended for.'”
Paul feels like the true, long-time fans of the franchise embraced his reboot.
And the director has also become philosophical about the reaction to the movie, which starred the likes of Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones.
He told Den of Geek: “I was sort of hoping the older ‘Ghostbusters’ fans would go for it. And then they did, the real Ghostheads really loved it. But the trolls and all that is like, I just can’t control their reaction to this stuff so I’m just gonna let it go.
“But then I was like, what can I make next that tells the world I just want to entertain you. I’m literally here to entertain you, that’s all I care about.”

Queen’s Roger Taylor joins Instagram

OHMYGOSSIP — Queen’s Roger Taylor has joined Instagram.
The 69-year-old stickman’s bandmate Brian May announced his pal had setup his own profile on the social media app on Wednesday afternoon (19.09.18) by welcoming him to the “insanity of Instagram”, and in just over 24 hours he’s amassed over 28,000 followers.
Guitar legend Brian, 71, tweeted: “Not sure who this geezer is – but he’s looking for you to follow him !! He’s bringing his chopsticks, as you can see … Welcome Rog, to the insanity of IG ! @rogertaylorofficial – Bri (sic)”
Roger’s first picture is the red logo of himself which features on his drum skin at the legendary rock group’s concerts.
Meanwhile, the ‘We Will Rock You’ hitmakers are currently in Las Vegas performing a residency at the Park Theatre at Park MGM.
Queen are now fronted by Adam Lambert following the death of the enigmatic late frontman Freddie Mercury – who died in 1991 from a HIV/AIDs-related illness.
Brian – who has continued the ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ hitmakers’ legacy alongside Roger – recently said he credits former ‘American Idol’ star Adam for their longevity.
He said: “In no way does he imitate Freddie but he provides that piece of the jigsaw puzzle. It’s stupendous, we would never be doing this now if it weren’t for Adam.
“Sometimes I stop playing because I think ‘what did he just do?’ He’s so free with his interpretations and it’s just spine-chilling. The sound he makes and way he interprets a song.”
The 36-year-old star joined the line-up after he sang with Queen during the talent show’s season eight finale – which saw him finish runner-up – and then joined them for an award show in Ireland.
Brian explained: “There was something about Adam, this chemistry was instant and it was like we were already in a band with him.”

Kylie Jenner to get huge stash of non-dairy milk

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Jenner is set to receive a huge delivery of plant-based milk.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star recently revealed that she’s only just tried milk with her Cinnamon Toast Crunch because the thought of having a “soggy” breakfast made her stomach churn but, after trying it with the dairy product this week, she’s been converted and now Almond Breeze are planning to send her a huge supply of non-dairy milk – made from roasted nuts – to try.
A spokesperson for the company told TMZ that they’ve been meaning to reach out to the 21-year-old businesswoman for a while but they’re even more determined now that she’s hit the headlines over her dry cereal confession.
Kylie baffled her fans earlier this week when she admitted online that she’s only just tried milk with cereal after her best friend Jordyn Woods encouraged her.
She tweeted: “Last night i had cereal with milk for the first time. life changing. i always liked cereal dry i never bothered to put milk (sic)”
Taking to her Snapchat account hours later, she explained: “So I think people were a little confused when I tweeted that last night was the first time that I ever tried milk with my cereal. That is a fact. Everyone has their personal preference, I never preferred soggy cereal. I just really enjoyed my dry, crunchy cereal, and I know there are other people out there that agreed with me.
“So I think just as a young child, always eating dry cereal and never wanting to sog up my cereal, I’ve just got used to it where I never wanted to do it until last night until Jordyn [Woods, her best friend] said I want some cereal and milk and I was like: ‘You know, tonight’s the night and I’m going to try it.’ ”
However, the brunette beauty still isn’t completely sold on the idea.
She explained: “I still prefer dry cereal but it was pretty fire and nothing was ever the same. I don’t like to put too much though, I definitely like cereal with a side of milk. I’m really not being dramatic, it’s not hitting the spot crazy.”

Carrie Underwood feared criticism after face op

OHMYGOSSIP — Carrie Underwood was worried people would think she “electively” changed her face.
The ‘Before He Cheats’ hitmaker underwent surgery earlier this year when she suffered a nasty fall on the steps of her home in Nashville in late 2017 – resulting in 40 stitches in her face and a broken wrist – and she has admitted she felt forced to speak out about the accident to avoid being accused of having plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons.
Speaking on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’, she said: “I feel like I do [look different] a little bit. My biggest worry at the time was like, if I say nothing then later on… I feel like people are gonna say, ‘What has she done to herself electively?’ And it definitely was not a choice. I feel close to myself. I feel pretty close to normal.”
Carrie – who spent months after her operation hiding her face from the world – tripped down a few steps while walking her pet pooches late at night but it wasn’t until she went to the hospital and had stitches that she realised how serious her fall was.
She explained: “I feel like any time anything happens, its adrenaline or something, you don’t really know until you take a second to assess…”
However, although it was a tough year for her in 2017, the 35-year-old singer has plenty to look forward to over the next coming months as she and her husband Mike Fisher – who already have son Isaiah, three, together – are expecting their second child.
But she has recently revealed that her journey to carry another baby has been long and heartbreaking as she experienced three miscarriages between 2017 and 2018.
She said last weekend: “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.”
