Jesse Eisenberg ‘doesn’t know what to think’ of Woody Allen allegations

OHMYGOSSIP — Jesse Eisenberg doesn’t “know what to think” of the sexual abuse allegations surrounding Woody Allen.
The 34-year-old actor has previously worked with the acclaimed director on ‘To Rome with Love’ and ‘Cafe Society’, and Jesse says the allegations made against Allen by his ex-partner Mia Farrow’s adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow exist “in a greyer area than a lot of the other allegations” made against figures in the entertainment business in the past year in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.
Jesse explained: “I was 16 years old when I discovered him. I’ve read everything he’s written, I’ve watched everything he’s made. He’s changed my life more than any other creative inspiration.
“And so when I read about something like this, it’s upsetting to me and I don’t know what to think, because it exists in a greyer area than a lot of the other allegations.”
Woody, 82, has always denied the allegation that he assaulted Dylan when she was seven years old in the attic of their home.
And Jesse has admitted he doesn’t want to become drawn into the situation because is not in possession of all the information surrounding the situation.
The Hollywood star – who has previously volunteered at a shelter for domestic violence victims that was run by his mother-in-law – told The Guardian newspaper: “I don’t want to say anything specific about that, but I’ll just say that those two things are on my mind, my extra-curricular work and also honouring somebody’s feelings who has been hurt. Was that OK?”
In December 2017, Jesse’s ‘Hummingbird Project’ co-star Salma Hayek accused Weinstein of sexually harassing and abusing her in an op-ed for The New York Times newspaper.
Despite remaining tight-lipped about the allegations against Allen, Jesse was happy to help Salma to tell her story.
He said: “Salma actually asked me to edit her New York Times editorial. Because she knows my wife, and knows mine and her history, and also enjoys my editing. So this isn’t something I don’t think about or take lightly, this is something I care about in my personal life.”

Elle Fanning: I have ‘supportive’ bond with my sister

OHMYGOSSIP — Elle Fanning and her older sister Dakota Fanning have a “supportive” bond.
The 20-year-old actress and her sister Dakota are both Hollywood superstars, but they have admitted there’s no sibling rivalry when it comes to their careers, as ‘Maleficent’ star Elle says the pair feel “very lucky” to have someone close in the industry who understands what they’re going through.
Elle said: “We’re very supportive of each other. I’m very lucky to have a family member who’s in the business. She understands what it’s like and what you’re going through. So of course we talk about things and movies and, ‘Oh, what are you about to go do?’ And that’s exciting, but there’s other things to talk about.”
The ‘Super 8’ actress also revealed her 24-year-old sister knows her better than anyone else.
Speaking to Us Weekly magazine: “I would actually a little bit [describe myself as kooky]. I guess my sister would probably describe me as a free-spirited person. In the grocery store going down the aisles when I was a kid, I would be dancing and running and kind of care-free. So maybe in that way. I bounce off the energy around me.”
Meanwhile, ‘Ocean’s 8’ star Dakota shared similar views on her relationship with her younger sister during an interview in January this year.
She said at the time: “We don’t talk about [our careers] that much. We have our separate relationship with what we do. We’ve never felt the need to get into it. We’ve had scenarios where we’ve gone to meet the same person [for a role] and it’s totally fine. To us, we’re so different.”
Dakota and Elle have no doubt leaning on each other over the past few weeks, as it was revealed in August that their parents, Heather and Steven Fanning, have finalised their divorce after 25 years of marriage.

Mitch Winehouse visited by Amy’s spirit

OHMYGOSSIP — Amy Winehouse’s dad Mitch gets woken up by his late daughter’s spirit with an “electric impulse” shooting through his body at night.
The ‘Rehab’ hitmaker would have celebrated her 35th birthday today (14.09.18), and her parent has opened up about how he is often visited by the late star – who died at the age of 27 from accidental alcohol poisoning in 2011 – which is a “wonderful feeling”, though he admits it is “frightening”.
Appearing on UK TV show ‘Loose Women’, he revealed:
“She’s not gone, she’s with me all the time. Lovely spiritual stuff. She comes to me a lot and my and dad do, It’s not an electrical shock because it’s not shocking … It’s the most wonderful feeling of knowing that somebody is there. I say to Amy, ‘Don’t wake me up in the middle of the night please.’ It’s a bit frightening because it’s like an electric impulse in my body.”
The swing singer also admitted that he gets annoyed when people think Amy died from a drugs overdose, as he claims the ‘Valerie’ singer was off drugs for three years, and it was just a tragedy that a relapse into alcoholism killed her.
He said: “What people don’t realise about Amy is she was clear of drugs for three years. A lot of people think she died of a drugs overdose, right? Well she didn’t, she was clear of drugs for three years. Some people say, ‘Well what’s the difference?’ She died of alcohol poisoning.”
He also says that Amy was working towards sobriety and that it was only the last two days of her life that she abused booze heavily.
He said: “The last year-and-a-half of her life there were large periods where she didn’t drink. The last six weeks of her life, five weeks and five nights she didn’t drink. And the last two days, she drank an awful lot and that is what caused the alcohol poisoning.
“She was dealing with her addictions, she was actively working with her addictions. She was moving towards sobriety.”
In the wake of her death, Mitch set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation which works to help young people struggling with substance abuse and the homeless.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ben Jardine has begged fans to leave Roxanne Pallette alone.
The 36-year-old reality star has asked fans to stop trolling the 35-year-old actress after she falsely accused Ryan Thomas of being assaulting her after a play fight on this year’s ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.

Speaking to Lizzie Cundy on FUBAR Radio, he said: “I think everyone now should just get on with it. She’s been punished, bless her, leave her be.”

“And Nick [Leeson] was a big help to Ryan, I think he was really the person who said, ‘This is far beyond the scope of just having a chat or something.’ ”

Hilaria Baldwin ‘doesn’t know’ if she wants a fifth child

OHMYGOSSIP — Hilaria Baldwin is considering having a fifth child.
The 34-year-old health and wellness expert already has Carmen, five, Rafael, three, Leonardo, two, and three-month-old Romeo with her husband and actor Alec Baldwin, and although she previously claimed she was happy with four in her brood, she’s now toying with the idea of having one more.
She said: “I’ve said, ‘Yes, I’m done’. But if I’m honest, I don’t know.”
The brunette beauty says the biggest factor making her consider a fifth child is her daughter Carmen, who really wants a little sister to help her take on her three brothers.
Hilaria added: “She wants a sister, because I have three boys. We’ll see!”
For now though, the ‘Living Clearly Method’ author is happy living a bump-free life.
Speaking to Us Weekly, she said: “People who say that pregnancy is the best time in their life, I think, ‘How uncomfortable is the rest of your life!?'”
This isn’t the first time Hilaria has spoken about the possibility of expanding her brood with 60-year-old Alec, who also has 22-year-old daughter Ireland from his previous relationship with Kim Basinger.
She said previously: “I have a daughter and then I have three boys. And my daughter is very sure that she is going to have a sister.
“She does have a sister – she has Ireland, and Ireland is so wonderful and they have a great relationship. But there’s something about a little sister that she really wants.”
And when asked if ‘Boss Baby’ star Alec is on board with the idea of another child, Hilaria thinks it’s “very possible”.
She said: “I think it’s possible. Not [for sure]. Alec thinks it’s very possible. He comes from a big family.”

Paul McCartney avoided Helter Skelter due to Manson murders

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Paul McCartney was “put off” performing ‘Helter Skelter’ because of The Beatles song’s association with the late cult leader Charles Manson.
For years, the 76-year-old music legend couldn’t bear to include the track from band’s acclaimed 1968 ‘White Album’ in his sets because Manson – who died in prison last November at the age of 83 – named his prophecy of a race war between Caucasians and African-Americans after the track.
After listening to the LP repeatedly, Manson believed that the band had tapped into his spirit and had foreseen the same oncoming racial violence that he had and that he intended to spark with the actions of the Manson Family and their own music album.
In August 1969, the cult were responsible for the murder of Sharon Tate and four others at the Los Angeles home she shared with Roman Polanski in August 1969.
One of the killers wrote “Healter (sic) Skelter” in blood on the refrigerator of the house in which the murders took place and numerous references to other Beatles songs, in particular ‘Piggies’ from the ‘White Album’, were also scrawled in blood at the scene.
McCartney was asked if he was unhappy that Quentin Tarantino’s film ‘Once Upon a Time In Hollywood’ and documentary ‘Inside The Manson Cult: The Lost Tapes’ would be bringing up the horrific incident again and he admitted he found it hard to disassociate the song from the tragedy for a long time.
In an interview with NME, he said: “Well, that put me off doing it forever.
“I thought, I’m not doing [‘Helter Skelter’], you know, because it was too close to that event, and immediately it would have seemed like I was, either I didn’t care about all the carnage that had gone on or whatever, so I kept away from it for a long time.”
However, McCartney decided to add it back into his sets on occasions because of the way crowd react to the heavy rock song.
The ‘Come On to Me’ singer said: “But then in the end I thought, ‘You know, that’d be good on stage, that’d be a nice one to do,’ so we brought it out of the bag and tried it and it works. It’s a good one to rock with, you know.”

Drew Barrymore: Cocaine is my worst nightmare

OHMYGOSSIP — Drew Barrymore says cocaine is her “worst nightmare right now”.
The 43-year-old actress infamously went to rehab for addiction aged just 14 after succumbing to the pressures of being a child star, and whilst she said she would never return to drugs, she does admit she still likes to “drink and enjoy life”.
When asked if she misses cocaine, she said: “No. Oh god, I mean, it’s been a very long time, but no. Nothing would make me have a panic attack and seem like a bigger nightmare. I never did hallucinogenics … but I drink and I enjoy my life and get out of my own head. It’s not like I’m this militant person of clarity and presence but [cocaine] literally seems like my worst nightmare right now.
“I’ve never done heroin, so I don’t know what that’s like, but I think I liked to feel good, I’m an upper person. You know, I’m like ‘Woo hoo!’ I also didn’t want to be like, ‘Man I see sh**.’ Again, I’d be like [freaks out]. I will not drink my drink at a bar that has not been in my, like, line of vision, or, like, the side cornea.”
Despite facing pressure and addiction at such a young age, the ’50 First Dates’ star believes her past has allowed her to get her “s**t over with” at a young age so she can focus on being an adult now.
She said: “It really is a recipe for disaster. But you know what’s exciting? I got my s**t over with at, like, 14 – like, midlife crisis, you know, institutionalised, blacklisted, no family, like, got it done – and then got into the cycle of being my own parent, figuring it out.”
The ‘E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial’ star also touched on her relationship with her mother Jaid – whom she was emancipated from at age 14 – and said the pair were more like “best friends” than mother and daughter.
Speaking to Norm MacDonald on Netflix’s ‘Norm MacDonald Has a Show’, Drew – who now has two children of her own, five-year-old Olive and four-year-old Frankie – said: “I had a mom, but she was more like my best friend. She was like, ‘Do you want to go to school and get bullied all day, or do you want to go to Studio 54?’ And I was like, ‘Yes, absolutely! I don’t want to spend the day with these little f***ers who are just awful.’ Kids are so mean.
“I really wasn’t raised around kids, and I didn’t have grandparents, so young people and old people, I was very weird around. I didn’t know what bracket of age I belonged in, but I was much happier at the clubs.”

Jodie Comer’s assassin character helped her confidence

OHMYGOSSIP — Jodie Comer became less self-conscious by playing an assassin.
The 25-year-old actress played the quirky killer Villanelle in Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s new BBC thriller ‘Killing Eve’ and has revealed that doing “silly things” while filming helped her to become less insecure.
In an interview with the I newspaper, she said: “I can be very self-conscious and I learned to drop that
“If there was something silly I did in a scene, I’d be caring too much about what other people thought. The longer we went on the more free I felt.”
The ‘Doctor Foster’ star admitted that when she originally received the script for the eight-part drama, she wasn’t sure she would fit into the role of an assassin.
She said: “When I first got an email from my agent saying ‘assassin’, I thought oh my God, I’m not Charlize Theron. I couldn’t imagine myself in that role, then I read it and everything I thought it was going to be it wasn’t.
“I was obsessed with ‘Fleabag’ so I knew the script was going to be special. Phoebe dares to say things other people don’t.”
In an early scene of the show, Villanelle is seen sitting in an ice cream parlour, smiling at a child who ignores her – she continues to grin at the infant and when she finally receives a smile, she tips the little girl’s ice cream on to her lap.
Jodie has divulged that there were times she related to her character, and she found that Villanelle’s outrageous stunts made her entertaining to play.
She added: “To me assassins always feel unreachable, but you find yourself relating to Villanelle.
“That ice cream scene is shocking but don’t tell me we don’t all have those moments in our minds where we think we’d like to do that. I was fascinated by her and she made me laugh.”
The ‘Killing Eve’ box set will be available on BBC iPlayer from 10pm Saturday (15.09.18).

Frank Ocean files cease and desist against Travis Scott over Carousel

OHMYGOSSIP — Frank Ocean has reportedly demanded that Travis Scott remove his vocals from ‘Carousel’.
The 30-year-old rapper is believed to have filed a cease and desist against his fellow hip-hop star asking him to take action and have his bit of the song dropped from his record, ‘Astroworld’, because he’s not allegedly not happy with unknown “changes” that he claims were made on the final cut of the song.
According to gossip website TMZ, the ‘Blonde’ hitmaker has got lawyers involved and if Travis – who is in a relationship with Kylie Jenner – refuses to remove his vocals from the record, Frank will have no choice but to sue the rapper.
Neither of the artists have publically addressed the issue and it no doubt comes as a shock to their fans who were full of praise of the collaboration.
This is the second legal case for Frank this year.
In February, he filed action against producer Om’Mas Keith, who he hired in 2014 to produce master recordings for his ‘Blonde’ album.
Frank had stated Om’Mas registered with ASCAP – an organisation which manages royalties for songwriters – and claimed he had co-written 11 songs, including ‘Ivy’ and ‘Pink + White’.
The ‘Thinkin Bout You’ hitmaker paid the producer – who also worked on his 2012 debut LP ‘Channel Orange’ – a flat fee to work on the master recordings and insisted he had no part in writing the lyrics, melody, or music for any of his songs.
He then asked a judge to block Om’Mas from getting songwriting credits.
However, he was counter-sued by the producer in May.
Frank’s lawyer, Ed McPherson, said at the time: “Mr. Ocean stands behind everything that we alleged in the First Amended Complaint, and we look forward to having the case heard by a judge and jury. We are confident that, when the true facts are presented, Mr. Ocean will prevail. It is quite telling that, on the list of the many songs that Mr. Keith claims to have co-written is a song called ‘At Your Best (You Are Love),’ which was written and recorded by the Isley Brothers in 1975, and covered by Aaliyah in 1994.”

Kim Kardashian West plans to ‘create toy dolls based on her family’

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West is reportedly creating a line of toy dolls based on her family.
The 37-year-old reality star – who has kids North, five, Saint, two, and seven-month-old Chicago with husband Kanye West – is exploring the idea of marketing a collection of dolls and has hired her eldest child as her “chief doll officer”.
A source told the latest issue of America’s OK! magazine: “Kim’s involving her daughter in every step of the process, from how the dolls look to their clothing.
“Kim wants to teach North that she’s important and could lead a prosperous business someday, just like her mom. She wants to help her children find success outside the entertainment business.”
As yet, it remains unclear which members of her world-famous family – which also includes sisters Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, as well as half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner – will feature in the toy range.
Although Kim remains best-known as a reality TV star, she has branched out into other areas over recent years, including launching her own emoji business and creating a makeup line.
And the brunette beauty previously revealed that in spite of how she might be perceived, she’s always regarded herself as a businesswoman.
Kim – whose reality show ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ has become a worldwide hit – said: “When the opportunity for our TV show came about, I wanted to do it to bring attention to our stores [DASH, which she opened with her sisters in 2006].
“I was thinking this might not last very long, but we’ll grow a great business and expand online. I thought it would be great press. I didn’t think it would turn into what it turned into.”
Kim also thinks that her work ethic has been one of the keys to her success.
She said: “The reality is people don’t want to get up and work. It sounds crazy, but I see it all the time.”

Lewis Hamilton has no time for love

OHMYGOSSIP — Lewis Hamilton can’t get a girlfriend because he has no time for romance.
The Formula One ace – who has only casually dated since splitting from Nicole Scherzinger three years ago – admitted he is so focused on work that he’s having to plan to look for love once he retires from racing.
He told The Times newspaper: “My love life is non-existent. I’m a workaholic. I don’t have time for it. When you travel as much as I do it’s hard to keep up a relationship, so I’m of the mindset that I’m not going to do that until I’ve stopped and no longer have to be single-minded.”
The 33-year-old star – who hinted things could change if he met the right person – also revealed he would love to have a family one day, but only when he knows he could be “a good present dad” to any potential children.
He added: “I want to have kids, but I want to be there for them – to be a good and present dad. But I’d be open to it if I happened to come across someone special.”
Earlier this year, it was reported that Lewis – who has been romantically linked with the likes of Gigi Hadid, Rita Ora and Rihanna since his split from Nicole in 2015 – has signed up to use exclusive matchmaking service Raya, where users are vetted and only allowed to join if they meet certain strict criteria.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Lewis has been swiping a lot of socialites in London and uses it when travelling.
“He’s happy being single, but would like to find The One eventually.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dua Lipa was left “horrified” after hearing that fans were removed from her Shanghai concert for waving LGBTQ + rainbow flags.
The ‘One Kiss’ hitmaker has confirmed the chaos faced by attendees at her show at the National Exhibition and Convention Center on Wednesday night (13.09.18), where concert-goers claimed to have been ejected from the building simply for “standing up” and dancing, and praised them for their “bravery”.

I always want my music to bring strength, hope and unity. I was horrified by what happened and I send love to all my fans involved. I would love to come back for my fans when the time is right and hopefully see a room full of rainbows. I love you Shanghai xx (sic)”

“I want us all to dance. I want us all to sing. I want us all to just have a really good time.”
A mother who attended the gig with her daughter told the BBC that the she witnessed Chinese police being “heavy-handed” and “aggressive” with those they had been removed from the event.
Several of Dua’s fans also shared footage of concert-goers being moved on by security on social media.
