Alexis Ohanian’s sweet tribute to Serena Williams

OHMYGOSSIP — Alexis Ohanian says Serena Williams is the “most inspiring person he knows”.
The Reddit co-founder has paid tribute to his wife for “fighting for her life” and praised her “passion” and how she “never gives up”.
Sharing a video tribute to Serena, he captioned it: “She fought for her life, for our child, for recognition, for equal pay, for women’s rights. She never gives up. She’s passionate and unrelenting and the most inspiring person I know.”
Meanwhile, Serena previously confessed she is still seeking the perfect work-life balance as she brings up her daughter Alexis Olympia.
She explained: “It’s hard. It’s not easy being a working mom, but that’s what we do. Women are strong and we are continuing to be, so I’m really proud of that … I think there is. The thing is, you just have to find it. I’m not sure if I’ve found it yet, but I’m getting there. I’m finding my personal work-life balance.
“When I missed Olympia’s walking, I posted about it and so many parents wrote in and said, ‘Don’t worry about it, I missed it too.’ I didn’t realise that it’s almost more normal to miss it than it is to make it. So I really kind of rely on everyone’s help out there. It’s been so, so amazing.”
However, motherhood hasn’t been easy for Serena and she confessed she cried every time her daughter did in the early stages.
She shared: “It’s tough in the beginning. The baby’s crying all the time and you don’t know why – you don’t know if it’s gas, you don’t know if she’s sick, you don’t know if it’s just colic. So I just started crying with her because I couldn’t help her and I wanted to help her and I couldn’t, so I just started crying.”

Cardi B’s ripped dress

OHMYGOSSIP — Cardi B left the New York Fashion Week party with a ripped dress after an altercation with Nicki Minaj.
The ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker was involved in a scuffle with the ‘Superbass’ rapper at the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS party on Friday (07.09.18) when Cardi approached Nicki and accused her of badmouthing her and disparaging her skills as a mother. Cardi, 25, reportedly launched a shoe at Nicki, 35, before she was stopped by the rapper’s security and later, she was seen leaving the venue barefoot and with a ripped dress.
An insider said: “The scene was f**king crazy. It was entourage against entourage. They had their altercation on the second-floor balcony, right above the red carpet. All of a sudden there was a big commotion and everyone didn’t know what was going on.”
Cardi – who wore a red Dolce and Gabbana gown – took to Instagram to slam Nicki, saying: “I’ve let a lot of sh*t slide. I let you sneak diss me. I let you lie on me. I let you attempt to stop my bags, f**k up the way I eat! You’ve threatened other artists in the industry, told them if they work with me you’ll stop f**king with them! I let you talk big s**t about me. I addressed you once in person, I addressed you a second time in person and every time you copped a plea!! But when you mention my child, you choose to like comments about me as a mother, make comments about my abilities to take care of my daughter is when all bets are f***ing off! I’ve worked too hardand come too far to let anybody f**k with my success!!! Bitches talk all that sh*t in they raps but in real life they p**sy. This s**t really is for entertainment.”

Evan Ross and Ashlee Simpson’s dance battle

OHMYGOSSIP — Evan Ross and Ashlee Simpson had a dance battle when they first met.
The ‘Hunger Games’ star has revealed the pair tried to show each other they were the better dancer on the night they first met.
She said: “We met at my friend’s birthday party. Evan walked in and he was really cute, and I was like, ‘Who’s this Mr. Cool Pants?'”
In a sneak peek clip of their new reality television series ‘Ashlee + Evan’, he added: “You tried to dance with me. You were, like, lifting your leg up and stuff, trying to show me that you dance better than me, I think.
“We dry-humped a little bit. That was the best dry-humping I’ve ever done in my life. I put my best work in.”
Meanwhile, the couple recently insisted having cameras in their home wouldn’t put a strain on their marriage.
Evan said recently: “I think in any relationship in this industry, there’s a stress on relationships. I think that’s reality, but in no way do I think that if a relationship is meant to be together and a marriage is meant to be together, that anything like a show or being in this industry can change that. I don’t think any fear is coming from our relationship, which is a good thing.”
And Ashlee is keen to add to her family.
She shared: “I want one more. I definitely want to have another one, for sure. I love being a mom. I mean there’s really nothing greater than my kids. So, for me, that’s something I continue to want to do in life.”

Janet Jackson praises vulnerability in women

OHMYGOSSIP — Janet Jackson thinks “vulnerability” makes a woman beautiful.
The 52-year-old singer songwriter believes “lots of different things” make a woman beautiful including “power, confidence and happiness”.
Asked what she thinks makes a woman beautiful, she said: “Lots of different things. It’s vulnerability. It’s power. It’s confidence. It’s happiness. It’s seeing the goodness in the soul. It’s spirituality. It’s being selfless and what you do for others before doing for yourself.”
And the ‘Together Again’ singer is more confident about her body now than she has ever felt before.
She added to InStyle magazine: “I would have to say my body. A lot of it has to do with experience, getting older. Understanding, realizing that there isn’t just one thing that is considered beautiful. Beautiful comes in all shapes, sizes, and colours.”
Meanwhile, Janet previously opened up about her “intense” battle with depression.
She shared: “I struggled with depression. The struggle was intense. Low self-esteem might be rooted in childhood feelings of inferiority. It could relate to failing to meet impossibly high standards. And of course there are always the societal issues of racism and sexism. Put it all together and depression is a tenacious and scary condition. Thankfully, I found my way through it …
“The height of happiness is holding my baby son in my arms and hearing him coo, or when I look into his smiling eyes and watch him respond to my tenderness. When I kiss him. When I sing him softly to sleep. During those sacred times, happiness is everywhere. Happiness is in gratitude to God. Happiness is saying, ‘Thank you, God, for my life, my energy and my capacity to grow in love.'”

Cardi B and Nicki Minaj nearly hugged it out

OHMYGOSSIP — Eyewitnesses thought Cardi B and Nicki Minaj “might hug it out” before they started fighting at New York Fashion Week.
The pair were involved in a scuffle at the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS party on Friday (07.09.18) when Cardi approached Nicki and accused her of badmouthing her and disparaging her skills as a mother. Cardi reportedly launched a shoe at Nicki, 35, before she was stopped by the rapper’s security.
A party guest told People magazine: “It all happened 20 seconds after Kelly Rowland left Nicki Minaj – she was in between them. She said hi to both of them first. [I thought they] might hug it out [and then] it all went down.
“Cardi walked towards Nicki and all of a sudden Cardi started screaming something about her child. She was yelling, ‘Bitch you feisty. Bitch don’t talk s**t about my child’ at Nicki.”
Following the scuffle, Cardi took to Instagram to slam Nicki, saying: “I’ve let a lot of sh*t slide. I let you sneak diss me. I let you lie on me.

Ariana Grande breaks silence following Mac Miller’s death

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande has broken her silence following Mac Miller’s death.
The ‘no tears left to cry’ hitmaker took to Instagram on Saturday (08.09.18) to pay tribute to her ex-boyfriend, who passed away after a suspected overdose on Friday (07.09.18).
Taking to the photo sharing site, she simply posted a candid picture of Mac.
Ariana has continued to block comments on her Instagram account after vile trolls blamed her for Mac’s death, with fans leaving nasty messages including “This is your fault” and “You did this to him”.
Ariana was also previously blamed for Mac’s car crash less than a week after their break-up, when he fled the scene after wrecking his vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. However, she hit back, insisting she was not his babysitter.
One fan wrote: “Mac Miller totally his G wagon and getting a DUI after Ariana Grande dumped him for another dude after he poured his heart out on a ten song album to her called the divine feminine is just the most heartbreaking thing happening in Hollywood.”
And Ariana hit back, saying: “How absurd that you minimize female self-respect and self worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them, which btw isn’t the case (only Cinderella is ab me).
“I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be. I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man’s inability to keep his sh** together is a very major problem. Let’s please stop doing that. of course i didn’t share about how hard or scary it was while it was happening but it was. i will continue to pray from the bottom of my heart that he figures it all out and that any other woman in this position does as well (sic).”

Jennifer Garner’s emotional action roles

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Garner likes her action roles to be “grounded in emotion”.
The 46-year-old actress decided to make a return to action movies for her new film ‘Peppermint’ and was inspired to do so because she found it “really satisfying” seeing her character get revenge.
She said: “To me, if you’re going to do an action movie, it has to be grounded in emotion. And the emotion, whatever happens, has to be strong enough that it makes you just – you have no choice to fight, you have no choice to pick up a weapon. This was an expression of that mom rage. It’s a fantasy, it’s obviously not how everyone should live. Greek tragedy – there’s something really satisfying about watching somebody take control of a situation and have some revenge.”
‘Peppermint’ follows the story of Riley North (Garner) who seeks revenge after her husband and daughter die in a brutal attack. And when the justice system doesn’t seem to be handing out to the murderers what she thinks they deserve, she takes it upon herself to seek revenge.
Jennifer took a back seat from action roles for a while to be with her family.
Asked why she shelved action movies for a while, she added: “I was having babies and they don’t really go together. It’s really hard. I did ‘Kingdom’ when I had a little baby and it’s tricky on your body. My kids are all at school now, I have the time to train, so it’s much more about schedule and things like that.”
And Jennifer feels “so lucky” to not be typecast into any specific role.
She told Collider.com: “I feel so lucky. I do big movies, little movies, action movies, drama movies, comedies. I feel lucky that that hasn’t happened.”

Meanwhile, the 34-year-old actor and singer previously confessed he avoided the internet after the release of ‘This Is America’.
He explained: “Some friends have sent a couple [of the pieces], but, for real, I haven’t been on the Internet since [it came out]. It’s bad for me. I’m really sensitive. I see one negative thing, and I track that person down. I go to their Instagram and be like, ‘You’re not so great. That baby’s not even that cute!'”
And Donald has got a fan in Adele as she previously revealed she loved his “greatness.”
Taking to her Instagram account, after her 30th birthday bash, she shared: “Dirty 30! I’m not sure what I’m going to do for the next 30 years as I’ve been blessed beyond words in my life so far. Thank you to everyone for coming along for the ride the last 11 years with me. My family and friends for entertaining my super fandom of the ‘Titanic’ movie. Last night was the best night of my life. Here’s a couple pics. I’m absolutely f***ed, not sure I’ll make it out the house again! Ps Childish Gambino how the hell do you have time to offer us so much greatness on so many platforms. I adore you x (sic)”

She told OK! magazine: “I’m a big backyard camper. My kids and I camp in the backyard every year. We just spoke this morning about when we’re going to do it.
“The only thing that matters is s’mores. Make whatever you want – hamburgers, eggs over the fire – but s’mores are all they’ll remember. I like camping with a group of girlfriends too.”
When she isn’t working, Jennifer loves nothing more than reading to her children.
Asked when she feels her best, she said: “Oh, I don’t know, at home with the kids. Reading to my kids at night is probably my favourite… The thing that defines me most.”
She also enjoys watching baking competition ‘The Great British Bake Off’ with her brood.
She said: “I love the ‘Great British Bake Off’ because they are so kind and supportive of each other.
“That’s one I watch with my girls at night. I also go hard down sitcom alley, because I just like watching something funny.”
The brunette beauty has recently been working on a comedy series of her own, ‘Camping’, alongside David Tennant and the lighthearted project spilled over into her home life.
She explained: “I felt light and happy. It was a light, happy experience and it did bleed over. It’s good to go and laugh for 12 hours a day. I felt ready for it.”
But she won’t be letting her children watch the show.
She said: “They’re just at that age where they make fun of me all the time. So that’s what they think [of the show]. They won’t see it though, it’s not appropriate.”

The ‘Before He Cheats’ singer – who has three-year-old Isaiah with husband Mike Fisher and is pregnant with their second child – adores her “fearless” and fun little boy, but admitted he’s learned to play on her emotions with “fake crying”.
She told HELLO! magazine: “He adores music. He loves the songs from his favourite cartoons so when Mike and I are in the car with him, we have to listen to them on a loop.
“Isaiah climbs over everything, runs everywhere and is fearless. And if there’s a pool, he jumps into it.
“He loves animals, painting, getting dirty and making a mess. He’s a dirty, awesome little boy – and good at fake crying.”
Carrie, 35, admitted being a parent has changes her outlook on life and interactions with other people.
She explained: “Babies change the way you look at the world. I was never one to want to run over and hold someone’s baby but now I feel empathy for them.”
Though the ‘Cry Pretty’ hitmaker and her husband are keen to have a big family, they’ve accepted that may not happen for them.
Carrie said: “There are things in this world that you can control but there are also things that you can’t.
“Mike would like four children yet the thing we’ve learnt is that it’s not up to us. We definitely believe God’s timing is much better than our own.”
Earlier this year, Carrie suffered a broken wrist and had 50 stitches to her face when she fell while walking her dogs but she’s almost back to herself now.
She said: “I’m getting better and feeling more like myself, but have been left with a few reminders. We all have things we deal with and try to get through.”

Sally Morgan accused of racism

OHMYGOSSIP — Hardeep Singh Kohli accused Sally Morgan of racism before his eviction from the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house.
The 49-year-old presenter was left upset when the housmates decided to make a mini movie about doctors and patients when the psychic told him he was looking “too brown” and suggested putting talc on his face to make him look ill.
Hardeep – who was evicted on Friday (07.09.18) – left the room and told Dan Osborne he felt the comments had been “borderline racist”, causing Sally to cry when she joined the discussion.
In scenes aired on Saturday (08.09.18), she said: “I have never, ever said anything racist. You implied it. I’m not going mad. I’m not having it. And then you come back and apologise like you don’t know what you’ve done to me.
“It’s absolutely dreadful why are you doing it to me? I have not got a racist bone in my body and you’ve implied it. I can’t have it. You can’t do it, I won’t allow it.”
The former ‘One Show’ presenter replied: “Fine, I owe you an apology it was ill-judged.”
Sally later visited the diary room and accused her housemate of “picking on” her.
She said: “He can’t accuse me of that. He’s picking on me. It’s just not right. I’ve tried so hard with this man and it’s almost as if, when he’s apologising, he’s saying I don’t understand racism.
“How dare he? I may not have a degree but I know what racism is.”
The row came a day after Sally had offended Hardeep by forgetting what his turban was called and asking to use it for bandages.
The ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ live final takes place on Monday (10.09.18).

Corin Hardy: Audiences becoming sophisticated to horror stories

OHMYGOSSIP — Corin Hardy thinks audiences are becoming “very sophisticated to horror stories”.
The ‘Nun’ director enjoyed putting jump-scares in his new horror movie but thinks filmmakers need to come up with new ways of keeping the “audience off balance”.
He said: “That’s just what you’re trying to do is keep the audience off balance. Everyone’s become very sophisticated to horror stories. And you see, it’s very hard to just try and keep someone unsure of what’s about to happen next. In a story, and in a lead up to a scare, for me, it’s a balance of trying to just keep an overall tension within the story and piece, regardless of whether the scares are going to jump out at you.
“Whether that kind of the overall atmosphere just is feeling more and more ominous. It helps that, if you’re feeling on edge and you’re starting to grip the seats and get sweaty, and you don’t know whether there’s going to be a scare or if something’s going to come out of the shadows. And then also, it’s nice to not do that so that they don’t know. Oh God, I thought something was. And something comes from another place.”
And the 43-year-old film director “had a supernatural experience” whilst filming the movie.
He told ScreenRant: “I had a supernatural experience … I had a run in with a couple of, what I assume were, Romanian ghosts. For real in the Mogoșoaia fortress where we were filming the corridor of crosses sequence … I was based inside a room off the corridor in the darkness, a sealed room. As I went into the room, I saw a couple of guys I thought was sound guys, and it was very dark, low light. I said hello to them. And then I proceeded to watch the sequence that we were shooting …
“And then when I finally got the shot I was quite elated, punched the air. And I turned around to see if these two guys had seen the take and there was no one there. No one sitting in the room. No way in our out. And it was a moment which I can only explain genuinely as being some Romanian ghosts.”

Gemma Chan looking for history’s losers

OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Chan wants to play “history’s losers”.
The ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ actress feels more “responsible” about the roles she chooses now and wants to find stories that have previously been untold.
She said: “History is written by the winners, but I’m interested in history’s losers, finding those stories and helping to tell them.”
And Gemma admitted there has always been a part of her that wanted to be “part of a change” that brought more Asian faces to mainstream film and TV.
Asked if she’s always been political in her work, she told Sunday Times Culture magazine: “I mean, probably in the back of my mind, on a subconscious level. Growing up, I didn’t see any Asians on TV, and there probably was a part of me that said, I want to be part of a change. But I didn’t know that it would be possible or how it might happen.”
The 35-year-old star hopes ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ heralds a big change as it’s one of the first American films to have a predominantly Asian cast in more than two decades.
She said: “That’s the difference, for me. It’s a film made by mainstream Hollywood, so that’s exciting. Hopefully it’s the start of something — rather than having to wait another 25 years.”
And Gemma thinks the film was “great” because it’s broken stereotypes.
She said: “It’s fun seeing Asians in an aspirational way. Asian men have been emasculated on screen for so long — never the romantic lead, always the sidekick or a stereotypical, probably quite demeaning role. So how great that we have sexy Asian men in it!”
The ‘Humans’ actress appreciated the fact producers cast Chinese, Singaporeans, Malaysians, Americans, Australians and Brits in the movie.
She said: “It just brought home the fact that Asian culture is not homogeneous. I’m so used to being not just the only Asian, but the only person of colour on set. Loads of us said this.”
