Prince Harry panics when he sees Queen Elizabeth

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry still panics when he sees Queen Elizabeth.
The Duke of Sussex has admitted he gets flustered if he unexpectedly runs into his grandmother in the corridors of her London home Buckingham Palace.
In a scene from new documentary ‘Queen of the World’, Harry, 34, is seen speaking to a group of hospitality professionals who travelled from the Caribbean and spent two weeks working at the palace as part of a new scheme headed up by the queen.
He said to them: “You guys have spent way more time in Buckingham Palace than I ever have – and you’ve only been here two weeks.
“Have you bumped into the queen yet? If you suddenly bump into her in the corridor, don’t panic. I know you will. We all do!”
The two-part series aims to show the queen’s role as head of the Commonwealth and producers were given exclusive access to the private homes of royal family members.
Elsewhere in the documentary, the Duchess of Sussex – who was known as Meghan Markle before her marriage to Harry – is seen talking about her wedding dress for the first time.
The 37-year-old former actress is seen inspecting her dress and veil, which had the flowers of all the countries in the commonwealth sewn into it.
She said: “53 countries, oh my goodness, it will keep us busy.”
The former ‘Suits’ actress was presumably referring to her new royal role and as a Commonwealth Youth Ambassador, alongside her husband Harry.

Heidi Klum: Mel B’s spirit is up

OHMYGOSSIP — Heidi Klum says Mel B is “doing really well”, despite her plans to enter rehab.
The 43-year-old star announced in August that she was going to enter a clinic to receive treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) following the death of her father and the breakdown of her marriage to film producer Stephen Belafonte.
The 45-year-old model is on the ‘America’s Got Talent’ panel with Mel, and she thinks the Spice Girls star seems to be coping despite the circumstances.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “To me, she seems [to be] doing really well.
“Yeah, spirit is up. She’s excited to come to work. We’re having a good time together. I think she’s good.”
Heidi’s update on Mel came after the show’s boss Simon Cowell, 58, said the ‘Viva Forever’ hitmaker has given ‘AGT’ her “total focus” despite her problems.
He said: “When you go through this job for a living and crazy, crazy things happen around you all the time  . . . one thing about Mel is that she comes on this show with total focus.
“She isn’t complaining or moaning, she is all about the talent – that is all she talks about. Not herself, and that is hard.
“So I give her a few nods for that.”
Earlier this month, Mel was ordered by the court to submit four months of drug and alcohol testing after a judge demanded a “full scale evaluation” as part of her custody agreement for her’s and Stephen’s daughter Madison, seven.
The singer is determined to prove she’s a fit person to look after her children and has agreed to do a drugs test twice a week instead of once.
Her spokesperson Gary Madatyan said: “Melanie is willing to do whatever it takes to provide proof to the court that she is a stable person.
“She was ordered to take one test a week, but Melanie wanted to do more, and offered to do it twice a week. Melanie will be drug tested twice a week.”
However, Mel had clarified she didn’t need help with alcohol or sex addiction after rumours began to circulate.
She said: “I’ve been in therapy since my father got diagnosed with cancer nine years ago. My therapy changed a little bit because I was in a very intense relationship, which you can all read about in my book.
“I do address a lot of those issues. But you know, no, I’m not an alcoholic. No, I’m not a sex addict. You know, I was with the same person for 10 years and that was quite a turmoil, very intense. That’s all I can say about it.”
Mel also has daughters Phoenix, 19, and Angel, 11, from previous relationships.

Drake files lawsuit against woman who claims he got her pregnant

OHMYGOSSIP — Drake has filed a lawsuit against a woman who claims he got her pregnant.
The 31-year-old rapper is reportedly seeking unspecified damages from Layla Lace for civil extortion, emotional distress, fraud, defamation, and abuse of process, after she alleged he impregnated her, and he claims she made a false rape allegation against him, which is said to have been referred to Manchester police but they decided against taking the matter further.
Drake admits in the suit, which has been obtained by TMZ, that he met Layla after a show in Manchester, north west England, during his ‘Boy Meets World Tour’ in February 2017, and he claims afterwards they had consensual sex and she “voluntarily and seemingly happily performed oral sex”.
He is said to have sent her home rather than take her on tour with him, which is said to have left her infuriated, and Drake claims in the suit, which was filed by celebrity lawyer Larry Stein, that she then created a “fantasy relationship” with him after sending him numerous text messages in the following weeks.
Several messages, purportedly sent from Layla to Drake, appear in the lawsuit, and he says he didn’t have the “time or energy to respond”.
The suit also claims Layla refused to take a paternity test, and reads: “There is no credible evidence of pregnancy, nor any baby, which would have been born last fall.”
In April 2017, Layla told her Instagram followers she was pregnant, and she later appeared on a radio show claiming she was “100 per cent sure” that Drake had impregnated her.
When asked “how sure” she was that she is “pregnant by Drake and not somebody else”, she replied: “Let me tell you something, I have a child, I’m a mother already. I know who I sleep with unprotected. Period. So … it’s 100 per cent sure. He knows it, so at the end of the day I will just leave it like that.”
When asked what his response was when she told him she was pregnant, Layla replied: “He pretty much was like, ‘Oh, what’s wrong?’ And then I told him, and he pretty much was like, ‘I’m going to call you back,’ and the phone calls just stopped. Everything stopped.”

Hollyoaks’ Stephanie Waring praises ‘grown up’ Steph Davis

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephanie Waring says Stephanie Davis has “grown up a lot” since her first stint in ‘Hollyoaks’.
The 39-year-old actress – who plays Cindy Cunningham in the Channel 4 soap – says the 25-year-old star, who is to reprise her role as Sinead O’Connor, is a “truly wonderful human being” and she is delighted her pal is returning to the programme.
She said: “Do you know what, she has really grown up a lot and she has really taken control of everything in her life and everything that has happened with people.
“She is a really truly wonderful human being and I couldn’t be happier to have her back on the show.”
Waring has predicted her namesake – who has battled alcohol addiction and been assaulted by her ex Jeremy McConnell since she was last on the soap from 2010 to 2015 – will “do wonderful things” on ‘Hollyoaks’.
She added to Daily Star Online: “I think everyone deserves a second chance and she has proved herself.
“I think she is going to do wonderful things for the show in the future.”
Waring’s comments come after ‘Hollyoaks’ boss Bryan Kirkwood recently praised Davis’ “remarkable courage and strength” after she went through a “really tough time”.
He said: “I am Stephanie’s biggest fan. I think she has shown remarkable courage and strength over the last year. She has been through a really tough time in the public eye, but she’s now come out the other side.
“Stephanie turned her life around, is making better choices and is returning to what she does brilliantly – and that’s being a fantastic actress.”

Mark Knopfler announces ninth studio album

OHMYGOSSIP — Mark Knopfler goes down memory lane on his ninth studio album ‘Down The Road Wherever’.
The 69-year-old rocker is set to release the follow-up to 2015’s ‘Tracker’ on November 16, and he’s revealed there are many anecdotes about his time in ‘Money For Nothing’ group Dire Straits and growing up in Deptford in South East London.
Other tales include the story of a football fan lost in a weird town, hitching home through the snow, and a man out of time in his local boozer.
On why he’s always stuck to the same method for albums, he said: “‘Down The Road Wherever’ is a line from ‘One Song At A Time.’
“I remember my pal Chet Atkins once saying that he picked his way out of poverty one song at a time, and it just stuck in my mind.
“You get to an age where you’ve written quite a few songs. But ‘Down The Road Wherever’ seems to be appropriate for me just because it’s what I’ve always done.
“I’ve always tried to make a record and also to keep my own geography happening in the songs.”
The ‘Sultans of Swing’ hitmaker has worked with his long-time bandmates – including Jim Cox and Guy Fletcher on keyboards, Nigel Hitchcock on saxophone and Tom Walsh on trumpet, John McCusker on fiddle, Mike McGoldrick on whistle and flute, Glenn Worf on bass, Ian ‘Ianto’ Thomas on drums and Danny Cummings – on the record.
Knopfler says that he likes the musicians to put their mark on his tunes.
He said: “I think the business of making a record, from having written a song and then bringing it to musicians, it can be quite a bendy route. It’s not just motorways all the way…. and you can end up in the occasional cul-de-sac, then you have to do a 16 point turn to try to get your truck back out on the main road, as unobtrusively as you can. That’s part of the fun of it.”

Robyn announces first album in eight years

OHMYGOSSIP — Robyn has announced her first album in eight years.
The ‘Dancing On My Own’ hitmaker returned with the lead single ‘Missing U’ – which was the soundtrack to HBO series ‘Girls’ last year – in August, and she is set to follow it up with the full record on October 26.
Describing the songs as “softer” than her previous material, she said: “I danced a lot when I was making it. I found a sensuality and a softness that I don’t think I was able to use in the same way before. Everything just became softer.”
Robyn took to her Twitter profile to announce her record and said it’s a very “personal” collection of songs that reflect on what she was going through emotionally whilst in the studio.
In the video, she said: “I really can’t wait for you to hear it. It’s a personal album, and there are so many things that happened throughout making it that it’s really hard for me to explain in one go. I think the best way is for you to listen to it.”
‘Honey’ features collaborations with Metronomy’s Joseph Mount and more.
The record is the Swedish star’s first since 2010’s ‘Body Talk’ trilogy.
However, in 2014, she released a joint EP called ‘Do It Again’ with Norwegian electronic dance duo Royksopp.
Joe teased in 2017 that he wanted to work with Robyn on her next LP.
He said: “I’ve been working with people on my own stuff, some new stuff, and I’m off to see Robyn in March to try and do some stuff with her. I’ve just been a bit of family man recently … but every time I do something with Robyn I get very excited, so hopefully I’ll be heavily involved in her next record but we’ll see.”
The singer is yet to unveil a full tracklisting for ‘Honey’.

Adele in awe of Lauryn Hill

OHMYGOSSIP — Adele went to see Lauryn Hill perform her “favourite record of all time” at her ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ concert at the Hollywood Bowl on Tuesday night (18.09.18).
Lauryn, 43, is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her seminal album – which was released in August 1998 – by singing it in full on tour and Adele was one of those in attendance at the 17,500 capacity venue.
The 30-year-old British star first saw the former Fugees member perform in 1999 in London when she was just 10 years old and she admitted it was an honour and a privilege to watch Lauryn once again perform the tracks that have shaped her life.
In an Instagram post made after the concert, she wrote: “I saw Lauryn Hill in 1999 at Brixton Academy when I was 10 years old. Tonight I saw her play at the Hollywood Bowl. I’ve just turned 30! What a woman what a record, by far Miseducation is my favorite record of all time. Such an honest representation of love and life, I feel I can relate too but also I know theres elements and levels i never will be able to. Ms Lauryn Hill was on form in every way possible. Thank you for the record of a life time, thank you for your wisdom! Thank you for existing. Happy 20th x (sic)”
‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ is the American singer-and-rapper’s only solo studio LP and she performs it in full at all of her tour dates.
Lauryn – who featured on both of the Fugees’ albums – had been joined on the road by guests De La Soul, rapper Nas and singer Santigold, however, the latter two acts were dropped from the tour last week.
Sabtigold revealed she had been axed from a minimum of four dates in a Twitter post which read: “I will no longer be performing on The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill Tour at the following dates due to the tour organizers’ decision to reduce the support. So sorry to disappoint my fans.”
Organisers have claimed “production issues” are to blame for Santigold being dropped.

Jane Fonda blamed herself for mom woes

OHMYGOSSIP — Jane Fonda blamed herself for her mother’s mental health issues.
The ‘Barbarella’ star was just 12 years old when her mom Frances Ford Seymour – who suffered from bipolar disorder – took her own life while in a mental institution and she admitted it took her a “long time” to stop feeling guilty about the lack of bond she had shared with her parent.
Speaking on PeopleTV’s ‘The Jess Cagle Interview’, she said: “If you have a parent who is not capable of showing up, not capable of reflecting you back through eyes of love, it has a big impact on your sense of self.
“As a child, you always think it was your fault…because the child can’t blame the adult, because they depend on the adult for survival. It takes a long time to get over the guilt.”
The 80-year-old actress – whose father originally told Jane and her brother their mother had died from a heart attack – admitted she never really knew her mom when she was alive.
She said: “When I wrote my memoir (2005’s ‘My Life So Far’), I dedicated it to my mother because I knew that if I did…I would be forced to really try to figure her out.
“I never knew her because she suffered from bipolarity.”
The ‘Book Club’ star was able to access her mother’s medical records, and also explored both her and her father, Henry Fonda’s, backgrounds to get a better understanding of them and to put her own mind at ease.
She said: “When you go through that kind of research…if you can come to answers, which I was able to do, you end up being able to say, ‘It had nothing to do with me.’
“It wasn’t that I wasn’t lovable. They had issues. And the minute you know that, you can feel tremendous empathy for them. And you can forgive.”

Rob Delaney’s heartbreaking essay on son’s cancer battle

OHMYGOSSIP — Rob Delaney has penned a heartbreaking essay on his son’s cancer battle.
The ‘Catastrophe’ star was struck by tragedy earlier this year when his son Henry – whom he had with his wife Leah – lost his battle brain cancer aged just two years old, and has now shared an emotional essay that was originally penned as part of a book he wanted to release for parents of sick children.
Rob decided to stop writing the book when he saw his son’s last “bad MRI scan”, saying he and his family “just wanted to be with him around the clock and make sure his final months were happy.”
Explaining why he posted the excerpt on Medium on Monday (17.09.18), the 41-year-old comedian wrote: “The reason I’m putting this out there now is that the intended audience for this book was to be my fellow parents of very sick children. They were always so tired and sad, like ghosts, walking the halls of the hospitals, and I wanted them to know someone understood and cared.
“I’d still like them to know that … But I can’t write that book anymore because our family’s story has a different ending than I’d hoped for. Maybe I’ll write a different book in the future, but now my responsibility is to my family and myself as we grieve our beautiful Henry.”
The essay focuses on the months surrounding Henry’s diagnoses and how his family helped the tot deal with his treatment, and Rob says that despite his son’s condition, he felt “excited” to see him at the hospital.
Rob writes: “I may wish Henry wasn’t in the hospital and it may make me f***ing sick that my kids haven’t lived under the same roof for over a year. But I’m always, always happy to enter the hospital every morning and see him. It’s exciting every day to walk into his room and see him and see him see me.”
The ‘Deadpool 2’ star cuts off his essay “abruptly”, as he never finished the story before he learned Henry’s diagnoses was terminal.
He said: “I’m aware this ends somewhat abruptly. The above was part of a book proposal I put together before Henry’s tumor came back and we learned that he would die. I stopped writing when we saw the new, bad MRI. My wife and his brothers and I just wanted to be with him around the clock and make sure his final months were happy. And they were.”

Roseanne Barr plans to leave the US to ‘escape negativity’

OHMYGOSSIP — Roseanne Barr plans to travel to Israel when the ‘Roseanne’ spin-off airs because she doesn’t want to “get drawn into a negative thing”.
The 65-year-old actress’ eponymous sitcom was axed earlier this year after she posted an offensive message about Valerie Jarrett, an adviser to former US President Barack Obama, on Twitter, and Roseanne has now revealed why she plans to leave the US before ‘The Conners’ airs in October.
She shared: “Oh, yeah, I don’t want to be around, because I, you know, I’ll get drawn into a negative thing.
“Defending myself or being angry for being mischaracterised and, you know, I don’t … I want to stay away from it. I want to stay in a joyous, positive, happy place that I’ve worked my way to again in my life.”
‘The Conners’ will feature all of the main cast of the original show except Rosanne, who plans to focus on her Hebrew while in Israel.
She told ‘The Dr. Oz Show’: “I want to be able to learn Hebrew, speak Hebrew fluently, because, you know, I read very slow but I know the letters and I love the letters, but, I want to speak it.
“And also I have quite a few teachers over the years that live there and, you know, I want to study.”
Meanwhile, Roseanne recently revealed the spin-off show will kill off her character with an “overdose”.
The actress claimed that her character will meet her end at the hands of an “opioid overdose”, which she says is “cruelly insulting” to the fans of the original programme.
Roseanne said: “Oh ya, they killed her. They have her die of an opioid overdose.
“There’s nothing I can do about it. It’s done. It’s over. [But it] so cruelly insults the people who loved that family in that show.”

Alex Turner splits from model girlfriend

OHMYGOSSIP — Alex Turner has split from his model girlfriend.
The Arctic Monkeys frontman had been dating Taylor Bagley, 31, for three years, and the pair even have each other’s names inked on their arms, but they made their decision to go their separate ways in July because things weren’t working out anymore.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “They were private about their relationship and never really spoke about each other. But behind closed doors they were really close for a long time and very much in love.
“In July they made the decision to separate, though. That’s why she hasn’t been with him while the band have been touring the UK. She has instead stayed home in the US.”
The pair have always tried hard to keep their relationship out of the public eye but the 32-year-old rocker did give a rare insight into their romance back in 2016 when he admitted that things can be quite “hard” at times because of their globe-trotting careers.
He said at the time: “It’s always been hard, definitely. But now, I guess, this is a new chapter, in a way. I’m excited.”
Alex and his group are currently on tour so his mind is no doubt being kept busy and he’s being supported by his band mates Matt Helders, Jamie Cook and Nick O’Malley.
He said earlier this year: “I enjoy their company. So, for instance, on this project I was really unsure about what I was doing and lost with it completely. Then, when Jamie [Cook, guitarist] came out to LA to join me and we worked on stuff together, through his encouragement suddenly I felt completely different. [Cook] getting excited about it, like the way I remember him getting excited about some idea in his bedroom in his mum’s house when we were 16 … I still get that buzz out of his reaction.”

Kristen Bell to throw ecstasy party?

OHMYGOSSIP — Dax Shepard wants his wife Kristen Bell to throw an ecstasy party.
The 43-year-old actor – who developed a substance abuse problem at the age of 18 – recently celebrated 14 years of sobriety but, although it took him a long time to curb his habits back in the day, he is trying to encourage his spouse to dabble in drugs.
Speaking on the podcast ‘WTF With Marc Maron’, the ‘Frozen’ star said her husband believes “you shouldn’t leave earth without having tried mushrooms or ecstasy.”
And, despite his past, he understands that “he lost his privilege with them [drugs] because he can’t handle it; his brain doesn’t have the chemistry to handle it.”
But that doesn’t mean the ‘Employee Of The Month’ star won’t be in attendance when his wife does throw a drugs fest but, rather than get involved, he’ll be a “sober coach” to make sure everyone has a safe and comfortable time at the party.
Dax is no stranger to avoiding temptation as Kristen has admitted she smokes marijuana around him at least once a week and he doesn’t seem to mind.
The blonde beauty – who has two daughters Lincoln, five, and Delta, three, with Dax – explained: “I smoke around my husband and it doesn’t seem to bother him.”
When asked how many times she lights up, she replied: “Once a week, if I am exhausted and we are about to sit down and watch 60 Minutes, why not?”
Meanwhile, earlier this month, Kristen posted a sweet message on her Instagram to mark her husband’s sobriety and dub him an “inspiration” for his determination.
She wrote: “To the man mocked me when in our wedding photos because I cried too many tears of joy,
“Who wore a baby Bjorn for 2 straight years to show his girls how to be as adventurous as possible,
“Who held our dear little shakey mann pup for 8 hrs straight on the day we had to put him down,
“I know how much you loved using. I know how much it got in your way. And I know, because I saw, how hard you worked to live without it.
“I will forever be in awe of your dedication, and the level of fierce moral inventory you perform on yourself, like an emotional surgery, every single night.
“You never fail to make amends, or say sorry when its needed. You are always available to guide me, and all of our friends, with open ears and tough love when its needed most.
“You have become the fertilizer in the garden of our life, encouraging everyone to grow.
“I’m so proud that you have never been ashamed of your story, but instead shared it widely, with the hope it might inspire someone else to become the best version of themselves.
“You have certainly inspired me to do so.
“I love you more than I ever thought I could love anyone, and I want you to know, I see you. I see how hard you work. You set an excellent example of being human.
“Happy 14th year sobriety birthday, @daxshepard. (sic)”

Jamie Oliver uses an app to track his kids

OHMYGOSSIP — Jamie Oliver uses a spy app to keep tabs on his kids.
The 43-year-old TV chef – who has kids Poppy, 16, Daisy, 15, Petal, nine, Buddy, eight, and River, two, with his wife Jools – has revealed he uses an app to ensure he knows where his two oldest children are at all times.
Jamie shared: “We used an app to keep track of our kids’ whereabouts.
“The older girls, Jools and I are all on an app called Life360, which means we can see exactly where everybody is and the route they’ve gone.
“So if one of the girls says, ‘I’m going to Camden Town’ and I can see they’ve gone to Reading, then was have a problem.”
The TV star also revealed the app allows his wife and kids to keep track of his own movements.
Speaking to Woman magazine, he explained: “They can check on me, too, and see how fast I’m driving. It’s brilliant.”
Meanwhile, Jamie recently insisted he wasn’t being “brave” when he chased and apprehended a would-be burglar earlier this month.
The British star was praised by neighbours for his “heroic” efforts after he caught a man trying to break into his house, but Jamie later said he “didn’t really have a choice”.
He explained: “[I was lucky] to be there to stop something from getting much much worse.
“I didn’t really have a choice, so it wasn’t really about bravery – it was a very odd and unfortunate grabbing scenario.”
By contrast, an eyewitness said: “It was just a brave, selfless thing to do.
“Despite the clearly very hairy situation, Jamie was laughing and joking with the coppers saying they’d done a great job to arrive so quickly after the 999 call.
“Everyone is really thankful for his quick thinking and courage.”

Pete Wicks is single again

OHMYGOSSIP — Pete Wicks is single again.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star is back on the market after his girlfriend Shelby Trilby dumped him after eight months of dating because she felt like she was a “rebound” from his previous long-term on/off lover Megan McKenna.
A source told The Sun Online: “Shelby ended up finishing with Pete but only because he forced her hand and she felt like there was nothing else she could do to save their romance. Viewers saw on Sunday that Pete didn’t contact Shelby at all while he was away on a modelling job that involved him spending time with loads of girls, leaving her feeling insecure.”
Viewers watched their relationship hit the rocks in last weekend’s show when Shelby confronted him over messages he sent to another girl behind her back.
The insider explained: “After filming emotional scenes for the show Shelby hoped to hear from Pete but he didn’t get in touch with her then either.
“She found out about texts he sent another girl shortly after they started dating but loved him enough to let it slide.
“But she couldn’t cope with feeling like a rebound following his time with Megan, and friends of theirs saying she was too boring for him, so ended it for good.”
This isn’t the first time Pete has been caught messaging other girls while in a relationship as his infidelity led to his split between him and Megan last year.
After they went their separate ways, the 29-year-old hunk started romancing Shelby, while Megan, 25, jumped into a relationship with Mike Thalassitis.
However, the ‘A Far Cry From Love’ hitmaker ended things with Mike a few months back because they found themselves constantly arguing.
The ‘Love Island’ star said: “I gave her everything and it wasn’t enough.”

Denis Norden dies aged 96

OHMYGOSSIP — TV star Denis Norden has died aged 96.
The popular presenter – who fronted ‘It’ll Be Alright on the Night’ – passed away earlier this morning (19.09.18) after spending weeks at the Royal Free Hospital in London.
Norden’s children, Nick and Maggie, have extended their thanks to the “dedicated staff and doctors who have looked after him – with much devotion”.
In a statement, they added: “A wonderful dad, a loving grandfather and great great-grandfather – he gave his laughter-mongering to so many.
“He will be in our hearts forever.”
Norden started working in the entertainment business in his teens, writing his first script for the BBC, ‘Let’s Go to the Holborn’, at the age of just 19.
He also worked extensively with comedian Frank Muir, with whom he wrote BBC radio’s ‘Take It From Here’.
And then in 1977, Norden secured his most famous role of all as the presenter of the ITV show ‘It’ll Be Alright On The Night’, which featured TV outtakes and bloopers.
Norden presented the programme right up until his retirement in 2006, when he was 84.
Following his retirement from TV work, the London-born comedian dedicated much of his time to raising awareness of macular disease, a degenerative eye condition that he suffered from.
As well as being a TV star, Norden also served in the RAF during the Second World War, and he even wrote shows to keep the troops entertained.

Lindsay Lohan will appear in Life-Size 2

OHMYGOSSIP — Lindsay Lohan will appear in the ‘Life-Size’ sequel.
The 32-year-old actress portrayed Casey Stuart in the 2000 fantasy-comedy film alongside Tyra Banks and, although she won’t be able to reprise her leading role due to a clash in her scheduling, she will be making an appearance in some capacity.
Speaking to ‘The Hollywood Reporter’, Tyra – who played Eve in the movie – explained: “She has this new TV show on MTV about this club so she couldn’t make it, which was sad. [Lindsay] will be in the movie in some kind of way. We’ll see where that ends up. I actually think we are going to surpass expectations because [for] me as a producer and actor in it, it surpassed my own expectations.”
‘Life-Size’ starred Lindsay a young girl who accidentally brings her doll (Banks) to life but the 44-year-old model has admitted the second movie will see Eve grown up.
She said recently: “Five years, four scripts, and finally we decided, Eve needs to grow up. She’s been around for a while. She’s been alive for a while. She needs to grow up and experience more adult things.
“So, you’re going to see a very different Eve. The idea was: ‘Let’s do a movie for young adults,’ so this is going to be an edgy Eve that you see, an edgy ‘Life-Size 2.’ The script is being written right now so even I don’t know 100 percent, but it’s definitely going to be like: ‘Oh my God Eve does WHAT? Cover your eyes!'”
Tyra announced that a second film was in the works back in July on Instagram and at the same time revealed that “magnificently fierce” Francia Raisa – who donated her kidney to her best friend Selena Gomez – will be starring alongside her.
She said “Now filming: LIFE SIZE 2. It’s time y’all! You’ve waited long enough. I’m so excited to announce who will co-star with Eve 2.0…the magnificently fierce @franciaraisa. See you on @freeform this holiday season! #LifeSize2 #ShineBrightShineFar (sic)”
