OHMYGOSSIP — Susanna Reid has ditched alcohol for a month.
The 47-year-old presenter was spotted having a late night out after the GQ Men of the Year Awards with her co-host Pier Morgan on Wednesday night (06.09.18), but she managed to escape a hangover when she was on air at 6am the next day.
Explaining how she managed to look so fresh faced on ‘Good Morning Britain’, she said: “I am sober for September, is that a thing? I’ve decided no alcohol for the entire month.”
Although Susanna didn’t reveal what prompted her to go off booze for a few weeks, she teased it was because of the night before.
She joked: “I decided that last night.”
The star admitted she was left disappointed at the glitzy ceremony, as she was seemingly snubbed by Paul Weller as she tried to get the musician to speak to Piers in the press pen on the red carpet.
She explained: “Another journalist said he wasn’t doing any press but she said we might have had a chance if I could get him, but I didn’t.”
Despite her embarrassment in that moment, Susanna was delighted with a guest she did get to speak to, as she managed to get a few minutes with Prince Charles.
The royal made his way off stage after receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, and he walked straight over to the TV star and told her to “enjoy her dinner”.
She was very pleased with herself, and admitted the moment was even sweeter when she saw how envious Piers was about her royal exchange.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kristin Scott Thomas is set to star in a new military film.
The 58-year-old actress has joined the cast of the upcoming flick ‘Military Wives’ – a movie inspired by the BBC factual series ‘The Choir’ about the real-life Military Wives choir, set up by Gareth Malone, who performed for the Queen on Remembrance Day 2011 – alongside the likes of Irish actress Sharon Horgan.
Speaking to Variety.com, she said: “This is the kind of film I love to do; it will make people laugh, and cry, touching on the subject of families who are often forgotten.”
However, Horgan, 48, wasn’t so willing to do the movie as she “can’t really sing.”
She explained: “I tried to talk them out of giving me this part because I can’t really sing. But they just said ‘Pierce Brosnan’ and so here I am.
“I love Peter [Cattaneo, the director] and I’m a huge, long-term fan of Kristin’s. Can’t wait to start working with them and telling this story.”
Details on their castings are yet to be announced.
The film, which is expected to hit cinema screes at the end of next year, is written by Rosanna Flynn and Rachel Tunnard and directed by Peter Cattaneo.
Cattaneo said: “It’s exciting to bring life on a contemporary British Military base on screen through this story of ordinary women in unbelievably testing circumstances, finding courage in the cathartic power of singing together.”
Meanwhile, Scott Thomas recently said she has no desire to retire from making movies – despite claiming in 2014 that she was stepping away from her career.
She said: “Despite saying I was retiring, it turns out I like making films.
“Life is about changing your mind. You don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know where I’ll be next year, and that’s OK.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Burberry will no longer use real fur.
The luxury fashion house has relied on rabbit, fox, mink and Asiatic racoon fur for its designs since it was founded in 1856 but, after years of being targeted by angry animal rights campaigners, it’s finally decided to follow the likes of its high-end competitors Versace and Gucci by eliminating animal flesh from its pieces.
Burberry said: “We already re-use, repair, donate or recycle unsaleable products and we will continue to expand these efforts. At Burberry, we are passionate about driving positive change. Our responsibility goals cover the entire footprint of our operations and extend to the communities around us.”
Burberry has said it will phase out existing fur products from now on and its showcase at London Fashion Week on September 17 will be the first of many collections to come not to feature animal flesh.
Chief executive Marco Gobbetti said: “Modern luxury means being socially and environmentally responsible. This belief is core to us at Burberry and key to our long-term success. We are committed to applying the same creativity to all parts of Burberry as we do to our products.”
Mimi Bekhechi, director of international programmes for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), said: “The few fashion houses refusing to modernise and listen to the overwhelming public opinion against fur are now sticking out like a sore thumb for all the wrong reasons.
“If they want to stay relevant in a changing industry, they have no choice but to stop using fur stolen from animals for their coats, collars, and cuffs.”
Wendy Higgins, of Humane Society International UK, added: “HSI first met with Burberry almost a decade ago to urge the brand to drop fur, so we are delighted that this iconic British fashion giant is finally going fur-free.
“Most British consumers don’t want anything to do with the cruelty of fur, and so this is absolutely the right decision by this quintessentially British brand.”
The likes of Kate Moss, Romeo Beckham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have all fronted campaigns for Burberry in the past.

OHMYGOSSIP — Dolores O’Riordan’s inquest will be held today (06.08.18).
The Cranberries frontwoman was found dead at her hotel on London’s Park Lane in January, aged just 46, and though the unexplained passing wasn’t being treated as suspicious by police, the investigation into the cause of death was delayed till now due to “various tests”.
The inquest will take place at Westminster Coroner’s Court.
The ‘Linger’ hitmaker was laid to rest in January with a special service attended by close friends, family and the late star’s bandmates at St Ailbe’s Church in Ballybricken, Ireland, where Dolores first learnt to sing in the choir.
The singer’s three children, Taylor, Molly and Dakota, were among the first to arrive and their father Don Burton – the singer’s ex-husband and former Duran Duran tour manager – carried her coffin whilst the band’s 1996 song ‘Miss You When You’re Gone’ played.
In Dolores’ honour, a guitar, a platinum disc award and a photograph of Catholic figure Our Lady of Dolours, who Dolores was named after, were placed at the altar as a mark of respect.
Family members among the mourners included her boyfriend Ole Koretsk, her mother Eileen and her siblings.
The Cranberries band members Mike and Noel Hogan and Fergal Lawler – who together with Dolores released seven albums – also attended the mass.
Meanwhile, the late musician’s children were recently gifted $250,000 by metal supergroup Bad Wolves.
Dolores was due to attend a recording session to lend her iconic vocals to the band’s cover of Cranberries track ‘Zombie’ on the day of her passing.
And in tribute to the musician, the supergroup – comprised of Tommy Vext, John Boecklin, Doc Coyle, Chris Cain, and Kyle Konkiel – released the song as a single with the commitment to bestow their proceeds to her offspring, and presented her brood with a cheque for $250,000 during a sold out show at Gramercy Theatre in New York City.
Tommy said in a statement: “Our sadness the day Dolores passed was nothing compared to that of her children and her family. In light of the tragedy, donating our proceeds to her children was the only thing that made sense. The ultimate goal is to present them with a $1,000,000 cheque – and the fact we’re a quarter of the way there is beyond incredible.
“The connection that people have to this song, the stories, the memories and the kids who are hearing this song through Bad Wolves for the first time – it’s a true testament to the timelessness of their mother’s songwriting that will live on forever, and we are so grateful to be able to do this for them.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Cowell says Mel B has given ‘America’s Got Talent’ her “total focus” despite going through a messy divorce.
The 58-year-old music mogul – who has worked alongside Mel for several years on ‘The X Factor’ in the UK and ‘America’s Got Talent’ – has heaped praise on the 43-year-old star for staying strong through her marriage breakdown with Stephen Belafonte and her battle with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) by not letting her predicament affect her work.
The talent show’s boss told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “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.”
Howie Mandel – who joins Mel, Simon and Heidi Klum on the NBC show’s panel – also added how he has huge “love and respect” for the Spice Girl and says they all have her back.
He said: “We love and respect each other and we love and respect Mel B.
“We’re proud of her and we’ll be there for her, whatever she needs.”
Earlier this week, Mel and her ex-husband attended a court hearing in relation to the care of their seven-year-old daughter Madison.
And it was reported that the ‘Viva Forever’ hitmaker will have to submit to random drug testing as part of her custody agreement for her youngest child.
The former couple were ordered to abstain from alcohol or drugs at least eight hours before spending time with the youngster.
A source explained: “The court ordered that neither party can consume drugs or alcohol at least eight hours before caring for Madison, and that they must choose a new custody evaluator by September 14 – both sides will submit names and the court will pick which evaluator to go with.
“After the court picks the evaluator then the evaluation will begin.
“The court today did not take custody away from Mel nor did they give Stephen what he wanted. Things could change in terms of custody down the line once the custody evaluation is complete, there has to be a custody evaluation in order for the court to make new custody orders.”
The insider also slammed claims that Mel – who also has daughters Phoenix, 19, and Angel, 11, from previous relationships – didn’t call Madison on her birthday at the weekend.
They said: “Melanie FaceTimed with Madison on her birthday and she also has a birthday party planned for Madison on Thursday this week. The court is not interfering with those birthday plans.”
Mel revealed last month that she planned to check into rehab following an “incredibly difficult” six months, but she recently clarified she didn’t need help with alcohol or sex addiction.
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.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Julia Louis-Dreyfus feels like a “different” person after beating breast cancer.
The ‘Veep’ actress underwent successful surgery earlier this year after revealing a year ago that she had received the life-changing diagnosis, and says she is “grateful” to have made it out the other side.
In an interview with InStyle magazine, she said: “I do feel different, but I can’t quite articulate how.
“I’ve come out the other side of this, and I’m still not exactly sure how to define the difference other than to say I’m grateful, of course. But it’s more than that. It’s bigger.”
The 57-year-old comedienne completed chemotherapy in January, and updated her fans to let her know she was pleased with her progress and is feeling good.
She shared a glamorous professional picture of herself on Instagram, and wrote: “Hoorah! Great doctors, great results, feeling happy and ready to rock after surgery.
“Hey cancer, ‘F**k you!’ Here’s my first post-op photo.”
When she announced her diagnosis last September, the star admitted she was grateful to have “fantastic” insurance and a supportive network as she knows other people are not so lucky.
She tweeted at the time: “1 in 8 women get breast cancer. Today, I’m the one.
“The good news is that I have the most glorious group of supportive and caring family and friends, and fantastic insurance through my union. The bad news is that not all women are so lucky, so let’s fight all cancers and make universal health care a reality.”
When the former ‘Seinfeld’ star celebrated the end of her treatment, she shared a video of her two sons, Henry, 26, and Charlie, 21 – whom she has with husband Brad Hull – dancing and lip syncing to Michael Jackson’s hit single ‘Beat It’, which they’d made to lift her spirits.
She captioned the video: “My beauty boys @henryhallmusic @charlie_hall made this for me today, my last day of chemotherapy. Pretty swell, right? Ain’t they sweet? (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Whitney Cummings is engaged.
The ‘Whitney’ star’s boyfriend Miles got down on one knee on Tuesday (04.09.18) – the producer’s 36th birthday – in a romantic proposal at her stables with her horse King the only witness to the occasion.
Alongside a video of her showing off her engagement ring whilst stood next to animal, she wrote on Instagram: “Today I got engaged. I handled it great! This just goes to show that if you work on yourself, trust your gut, and keep your ego in check you too can find love on a dating app. (sic)”
In the clip, the former ‘Roseanne’ showrunner quipped that she wished she had gotten her nails done before he popped the question.
The emotional bride-to-be smiled: “Oh my God, this is so weird! I would’ve gotten a manicure. Is this real?”
And alongside a picture of her fiancé proposing with King in shot, she captioned the image: “King just wants to eat the carats (sic)”
Several of Whitney’s showbiz pals have reacted to the news by liking the post, including Amy Schumer, Chrissy Teigen, Lena Dunham, Kat Dennings and Nikki Reed.
The pair met on an online dating app late last year and things have clearly gone from strength-to-strength for the loved-up pair.
She said at the time of her new romance: “You either find a husband or you get murdered.
“I’m in a good relationship now, it’s been going on for 10 months. We met on the internet.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Georgia Taylor would’ve turned down a ‘Coronation Street’ return if Jane Danson wasn’t still on the soap.
The 38-year-old actress reprised her role as Toyah Battersby on the ITV soap in 2016 – 13 years after she left Weatherfield – and admitted her on-screen sister, who plays Leanne Battersby, still being there was a “huge factor” when she was considering about a cobbles comeback.
She said: “I wouldn’t have come back if you weren’t there. Definitely, that was such a huge factor me.
“I was like, ‘My buddy’s there, it’s going to be fine.’ I was ringing you all the time going, ‘I don’t know what to do.’
“So I knew it was going to be fine.”
The pair are often inundated with selfie requests when they are out and about, and Georgia recently had to turn down one fan who asked for a picture while she was sitting in the reception at her doctor’s surgery.
But she insists the supporter was not trying to cause her “harm or distress”, and vice-versa.
She said: “I do believe that in that incident the person who asked me did not mean to cause me any harm or stress, and the likewise with me turning around and saying, ‘I don’t feel comfortable with this.’ I didn’t mean to cause them any harm or distress.
“Generally, we always say yes.”
Speaking in a joint interview on ‘Lorraine’, Jane added: “You do forget that you’re in people’s living rooms five or six times a week.
“It’s a constant reminder that people do know you.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Maureen Lipman’s northern accent has returned since she started working on ‘Coronation Street’.
The 72-year-old actress – who was born and raised in Hull – has been cast as Tyrone’s grandma Evelyn in the ITV soap and she’s found shooting in Manchester “very comforting”.
She said: “There is something very comforting about coming back up north, my son says I am already speaking with a northern accent.”
Evelyn looks very different to Maureen – who appeared in ‘Corrie’ as landlady Lilian Spencer in 2002 – and the veteran actress tries not to think too much about how her character appears on screen as she’d just get “depressed”.
She said: “She is a genuine battleaxe without a man to battle – except maybe picking fights with Dev and putting Tyrone in his place regularly.
“She is stuck in the past – her clothes are of someone who is always after a bargain, she has put her hair into victory rolls.
“She is not batty and flyaway, she’s carefully dressed but I try not to think about what she looks like as I would just get depressed.
“I don’t watch, I will maybe watch things later on, long after they have been on but I really don’t enjoy watching myself. I can see me thinking, I get impatient with myself, I think a lot of actors feel that way, it is hard to be objective. I don’t read reviews and I am not on social media I just get on with the job.”
One of the things Maureen likes most about her character is that she has a dog.
She said: “I love dogs and the one who plays Cerberus is lovely and calm.
“I am happy she has him and you get to see the softer side of her.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Matthew Wolfenden has undergone a foot operation.
The ‘Emmerdale’ actor took to his Instagram account to reveal he was going under the knife by sharing a picture of himself dressed in a hospital gown while sat in a medical facility’s bed.
He wrote: “My current view… I’m having an op on my foot, not a caesarean (sic)”
The 38-year-old actor – who plays David Metcalfe in the ITV soap – also shared a video from his hospital bed.
As the clip played out a drilling sound could be heard while the operation appeared to be taking place, and he was seen mouthing the words “what’s that noise?”
He also captioned post: “What’s that noise???? (sic)”
Matthew is yet to reveal what the op is for and whether it will impact his filming schedule on the soap.
Just last month, Matthew revealed had to re-write an ‘Emmerdale’ scene – in which his character and Maya Stepney (Louisa Clein) were in his alter-ego’s shop the morning after the night before – after he broke his thumb and had to wear a cast.
He said: “I broke my thumb the day before we shot that episode. So we had to write that in.
“I actually wrote that in myself, because I was like, ‘How am I going to get around that fact?’ ”
Matthew had to wear the cast on his hand for two weeks.
He added: “I was playing cricket, and I got hit by the ball. It’s still blummin’ sore. It was very embarrassing.
“I had to have [the cast] put on for two weeks.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Yvette Nicole Brown has been cast in ‘Lady and the Tramp’.
The 47-year-old actress has jumped on board Disney’s live-action reboot and will play Aunt Sarah – the owner of trouble-making Siamese cats Si and Am – in the movie which will air on the studio’s digital streaming service next year.
The movie will see Aunt Sarah looking after Jim Dear and his wife Darling’s baby when Si and Am mess up the house and trick her into thinking it was Lady.
Tessa Thompson will voice Lady the cocker spaniel while Justin Theroux will play Tramp, Benedict Wong will voice Bull, an English bulldog, Kiersey Clemons will play Darling, and Ashley Jensen will voice Scottish Terrier, Jackie.
Jackie is the female version of the original Jock – who appeared in the 1955 animated film – and lived next door to Lady and was one of her best friends.
Filmmaker Charlie Bean – who is known for directing ‘Tron: Uprising’ and ‘The LEGO Ninjago Movie’ – has agreed to direct.
Brigham Taylor, who worked on ‘The Jungle Book’ remake back in 2016, is producing the picture while Andrew Bujalski is penning the script.
The movie follows the unlikely love story between a pampered Cocker Spaniel named Lady and a streetwise mongrel named Tramp.
Lady finds herself out on the streets after her owners have a baby but she is saved by Tramp who shows her how to live her life free and collarless.
One of the most iconic scenes from the film is the candlelit spaghetti dinner in an alley while two humans sing ‘Bella Notte’.
‘Lady and the Tramp’ – which was Disney’s 15th animated feature – was nominated for Best Picture at the 1956 BAFTA awards.
The movie also featured the song ‘He’s a Tramp’ which was performed by jazz singer Peggy Lee, who also voiced four characters as well as co-wrote six tracks.
The studio’s new streaming service is reportedly set to have four to six movies a year including film and TV from Disney’s brands such as Pixar, Marvel and ‘Star Wars’.
Disney has already rebooted many of its beloved animations including ‘The Jungle Book’, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘Maleficent’ and ‘Cinderella’.
And the company has a number of films lined up for live action updates such as ‘Mulan’, ‘The Lion King’, ‘Aladdin’, ‘The Little Mermaid’ and ‘Pinocchio’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Paul McCartney doesn’t think Yoko Ono’s “intrusive” nature caused the breakdown of The Beatles.
Many fans of the Fab Four have blamed John Lennon’s wife for the iconic band’s split, but the group’s bassist has suggested she was only so involved because of the couple’s love for each other.
Speaking to Howard Stern on SirusXM, he said: “Even though we thought she was intrusive because she used to sit in on the recording sessions and we’d never had anything like that.
“But looking back on it, you think, ‘The guy was totally in love with her. And you’ve just got to respect that.’ So we did. And I do.”
Paul also opened up on the moment John – who was tragically murdered aged 40 in 1980 – told his bandmates he had decided to leave the group.
He suggested the other members – including George Harrison and Ringo Starr – had all reached the same point in their lives when it was time to move on, even if they didn’t realise it at the time.
He added: “There was a meeting where John came in and said, ‘I’m leaving the group.’ And looking back on it, he’d reached that stage in his life. We all had.”
Paul remained in music after the band’s split, continuing his career with Wings – releasing seven albums between 1971 and 1979 – and as a solo star.
His 17th solo record ‘Egypt Station’ will be released on Friday (07.09.18), and he revealed that the title was inspired by a painting he did.
He explained: “I did a painting that kind of had Egyptian-y stuff in it because I like Egyptian [writing].”

OHMYGOSSIP — Anna Shaffer has claimed she was sexually assaulted on the Tube this morning (06.09.18).
The ‘Hollyoaks’ actress was left “shaken” after the alleged incident, in which she claims a man “touched [her]” and tried to put his hand down her underwear, and while she was feeling “nervous” afterwards, she reported the assault to the police.
She wrote on Twitter: “thank you to the @TfL staff at Knightsbridge who just helped me report a sexual assault to the police after a man touched me and tried to put his hand in my knickers on a crowded tube carriage, was shaken + nervous to report but they calmed me + guided me with care + kindness (sic)”
Anna has also thanked a mystery woman who “screamed” at the guy while the ‘Harry Potter’ actress was left “frozen”.
She tweeted: “also to the brilliant + brave woman who saw it happened and screamed at him while I was frozen, hard to believe that these things are still happening so often on public transport but comforting to know there is stellar support on hand when it does (sic)”
A series of tweets on the official Transport for London (TfL) Twitter account read: “1/2 Hi Anna. I’m really sorry that you had to experience that on the Tube. I hope that you’re now okay, & that they can catch the man who did this…
“2/2 I’m pleased that the staff member at Knightsbridge was so caring and kind in helping you report this. I’ll pass this feedback on to the area manager for the station now. (sic)”
Anna – who is known for playing Ruby Button in the Channel 4 soap, and Romilda Vane in the ‘Harry Potter’ film franchise – was inundated with support from her former co-stars.

OHMYGOSSIP — Cate Blanchett is “very impatient.”
The 49-year-old actress may have directed numerous theatre productions over the years but she has admitted it would have to be something magical for her to agree to take the reins of a movie because the process is so long-winded.
Speaking to talkRADIO at the premiere of ‘A House With A Clock in its Walls’ in London on Wednesday (06.09.18) night, Blanchett said: “I’m very impatient.
“So to get a movie, to cast it, to location scout, to shoot the thing, to edit the thing, to publicise the thing takes an awfully long time so it would have to be something I’m prepared to stick with for that long.”
The blonde beauty – who has kids Dashiell, 16, Roman, 14, Ignatius, 10, and Edith, three, with her husband Andrew Upton – is also very particular about what film roles she takes on because they have to fit around her children’s schooling.
However, she has admitted it was a “no brainer” when she was asked to play Mrs. Zimmerman in the forthcoming thriller because she wanted to star alongside comedian Jack Black and be directed by the “fantastic” Eli Roth.
She explained: “I’m so free-wheeling about what I decide to do, a lot of it is based on my children’s school schedule, but when this came up, I loved the script, I knew the book from my childhood. And then when I knew Jack was going to be in it and Eli Roth – who is not only a fantastic director of horror, an amazing actor and extraordinary cinephile – was going to direct it, so it was kind of a no brainer.”
And Blanchett is confident that the film will do well when it hits cinema screens later this month because they all had so much fun shooting the horror scenes.
She said: “Sometimes you’re on a movie set and the situation is difficult, not that there are any personality problems, but the filming is difficult but the movie ends up being good or sometimes you have a great time and the movie doesn’t do so well. I think this was the best of both worlds because we all got on, the atmosphere was fantastic, it was buoyant but we took the work seriously – we had fun. And the movie is really good.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Whitney Port’s young son Sonny will appear on the reboot of ‘The Hills’.
The 33-year-old star’s 14-month-old boy is going to be seen on the new series of the MTV reality show – which starred Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, Audrina Patridge, Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari, and ran for six seasons from 2006 to 2010 – but not all the time as she doesn’t want him “plastered all over TV”.
In an interview with E! News, she said the tot – whom she has with husband Tim Rosenman – “will pop up here and there because he exists in my life”.
But she added: “I don’t want him to be plastered all over the TV.”
On her reasons for letting her little boy appear on screen, she said: “Being a mom is obviously a really big part of my identity and I want the show to be real and authentic.”
Whitney admits that she hopes there isn’t too much drama this season.
She said: “I don’t think you can ever really be fully prepared for that.
“I’m hoping that there isn’t really much [drama] when it comes to me, and if there is, I’ll be able to handle it.”
Whilst she confessed her producer husband isn’t so keen about being on the show.
She spilled: “He doesn’t necessarily want to be on it, but he’s really supportive and wants me to do it.”
Brody Jenner is reportedly set to make a comeback on the new series, ‘The Hills: New Beginnings’ in 2019.
The 35-year-old hunk and his wife Kaitlynn Carter are believed to have held talks to join the revival.
A source said recently: “Everybody wants Brody to come back. He was such a big part of the show. It truly wouldn’t be the same without him.”
Whilst Stephanie, 32, took to Instagram to announce that she will be involved, saying: “I am so excited to start filming #TheHills #NewBeginnings #MTV with my friends & family! it’s going to be EPIC @mtvthehills.”
