Khloe Kardashian’s daughter learning to swim

OHMYGOSSIP — Khloe Kardashian’s daughter is learning how to swim.
The 34-year-old reality star gave birth to her daughter True Thompson – whom she has with her boyfriend Tristan Thompson – just four months ago, but the tot is already starting to learn valuable life skills as Khloe revealed she’s begun going to “swim class”.
In a new post on her app and website, the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star said: “True had her first Mommy and Daddy swim class. It was really special and we learned a bunch of tips swimming with her. She loves the water!”
The tot is a fan of the water already, and Khloe says she’s even started to get used to the feeling of being “dunked” under the water.
Khloe added: “We recently did a Mommy, Daddy and Me class and it was really fun and special. We learned some tips about what to do with Baby True when we swim with her.
“She’s also getting used to dunking under the water, which she enjoys. After each dunk, she sticks her tongue out and just smiles from ear to ear! She lovesss the water!”
The parent-baby swim classes come after Khloe was recently accused of “embedding materialism into [True’s] brain” after posting pictures of a mini Bentley vehicle the tot had been gifted by Kimora Lee Simmons.
But the ‘Revenge Body’ star hit back, saying: “She’s a baby who received a beautiful sweet gift and I was SOOO excited to put her in it and take a picture! I’m enjoying every single moment I can with my sweet angel! The angel GOD gave me! (sic)”

Ben Affleck’s ‘intense’ rehab stay

OHMYGOSSIP — Ben Affleck’s rehab treatment is said to be “intense”.
The 46-year-old actor admitted himself into a rehabilitation facility for his alcohol addiction two weeks ago – after having previously completed stints in 2001 and 2017 – and sources say he’s taking the process “very seriously”, and is undergoing a rigorous “counselling” program to make sure he gets the most out of his time in the centre.
An insider said: “Ben is there for as long as he needs to be. Like before, he is dedicated to beating this, and however long they feel he should be in, that is the time limit.
“Ben seems to be taking it very seriously. This isn’t like the other rehabs he has done in the past. This is a residential program, and he is staying on property. He is not at the point where he has a lot of freedom or is able to leave. He is doing intense counselling and spending a lot of time in meetings and therapy. He also has time in his day to workout and spend time outside in the mountains.”
The ‘Justice League’ actor was convinced to enter rehab after an intervention from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner – with whom he has children Violet, 12, Seraphina, nine, and Samuel, six – and it’s said she is “glad” he’s now in a “safe place” where he can get the right help.
The source added to E! News: “He told Jen and was not resistant. He asked her to take him and she wanted to be there for him.
“She wants him to be clean and healthy and will help him get there if he’s committed. She is glad he is in a safe place and getting the help he needs.”
The news comes after it was reported the ‘Gone Girl’ actor is doing really well since he was admitted to rehab on August 22, and is said to be “serious” about cleaning up his act.
A source said recently: “Ben is still in rehab and has not left. He’s doing OK. He seems serious about living in for at least 30 days. The divorce is wrapped up but has not been signed off on. They are waiting for Ben to get out to do that. They both want to move on and end the financial negotiations and the custody discussions.”

Jennifer Aniston not interested in dating

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Aniston “isn’t concerned about dating”.
The 49-year-old actress announced her decision to file for divorce from ‘Leftovers’ star Justin Theroux- whom she married in 2015 – in February this year, and despite having been single for several months, she isn’t looking to move on with anybody new right now.
A source said: “She isn’t concerned about dating. She is happy to focus on work.”
The former ‘Friends’ actress has fully moved on from her former beau though, as the source insists she no longer talks about him.
Speaking to People magazine, the insider added: “She doesn’t even talk about him anymore. She doesn’t keep up with what he does. She is focusing on her own life.”
The news comes after Jennifer revealed she is “not heartbroken” over her separation from the 46-year-old actor.
She said: “The misconceptions are ‘Jen can’t keep a man,’ and ‘Jen refuses to have a baby because she’s selfish and committed to her career.’ Or that I’m sad and heartbroken. First, with all due respect, I’m not heartbroken.
“And second, those are reckless assumptions. No one knows what’s going on behind closed doors. No one considers how sensitive that might be for my partner and me. They don’t know what I’ve been through medically or emotionally.”
The ‘Horrible Bosses’ star also slammed the idea that all women should become mothers, and says she isn’t “damaged goods” just because she never started a family with Justin.
She added: “There is a pressure on women to be mothers, and if they are not, then they’re deemed damaged goods. Maybe my purpose on this planet isn’t to procreate. Maybe I have other things I’m supposed to do?”

Barbara Windsor undergoes heart operation

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Barbara Windsor has undergone a heart operation to have a pacemaker fitted after she fainted at home.
The 81-year-old acting legend, who is suffering from degenerative brain disease Alzheimer’s, spent eight days in hospital after she started getting “very dizzy and short of breath” due to complications from her medication, but she is now “recovering really well”.
The ‘Carry On’ movie star’s husband Scott Mitchell, 55, said: “She’s looking forward to getting out on the town again soon.
“Barbara was suffering from a low heart rate which doctors thought was being caused by some of her medication.
“She was getting very dizzy and short of breath and fainted one day at home, so she had an eight-day hospital spell about four weeks ago and they’ve put in a pacemaker for her.
“But she’s recovering really well.”
Barbara’s heart specialist Dr Rodney Foale added to The Sun newspaper: “Barbara is doing very well.”
Following her recovery from the op, the former ‘EastEnders’ star’s pal Christopher Biggins is now planning to take her out next week.
He said: “I spoke to her last week and I’m going to see her next week. We’re going to go out. She likes to go out because she spends a lot of time indoors.
“She loves The Ivy restaurant. She lives in Marylebone, so there’s lots of lovely restaurants there.”
Ross Kemp – who played Barbara’s on-screen son Grant Mitchell in ‘EastEnders’ – has admitted she sometimes forgets who he is when he visits her, but admits it is a “relief” she still likes him.
He told the publication: “She’s as vibrant as ever but her short-term memory has gone. One minute she knows who I am then she asks, ‘Why are you here?’ The thing about dementia is that the polite filter is gone.
“It’s a bit like being a child again because you just say it how it is. Luckily, she says she still likes me, which is a relief.
“It’s horrible to deal with but she’s still the same Babs we know and love.”
Scott – who has been with Barbara for 25 years, 18 of which they have been married – revealed in May that Barbara has was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2014, and admitted she has “no recollection” of their relationship history at times.
He said: “She suddenly has no recollection of our history.
“She’ll look at her wedding ring and say, ‘Are we married?’ But that’s the thing about this cruel disease, isn’t it?
“She’s not frightened of me, so I’m thankful for that. Over the last couple of days, the conversation has turned to, ‘I just think it’s wonderful that you come here to look after me’ — and she keeps thanking me.
“I say, ‘Barbara I’m not here to look after you, I’m here because I love you’.”

Lauren Jauregui ‘learnt so much’ after coming out bisexual

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Jauregui “could fall in love with anyone.”
The former Fifth Harmony star believes she’s learnt so much since she came out as bisexual in 2016 and, although she’s currently in a relationship with Ty Dolla $ign, she has admitted she explores “fluidity all the time” because she’s obsessed with meeting “genuine souls” who have been through trauma.
Speaking to Nylon magazine, she said: “I’ve learned so much, even about the gender binary since I came out as bisexual, and I’m sure that I could fall in love with anyone as long as their soul was genuine.
“That’s all that really matters to me. I don’t care about the physical. I care about your trauma and sh**, and if you’re projecting that sh** on to me, but that’s really it, because, at the end of the day, we’re all just humans and if we’re attracted to each other, we’re just attracted to each other. I explore that fluidity all the time.”
And the 22-year-old singer feels so “grateful” that her family support her love life.
She explained: “I’m so grateful that, every day, my family is so supportive of my dreams and who I want to be as a person. They never tried to make me feel like I had to be something… Maybe it’s ’cause they knew that they couldn’t tell me that sh**, ’cause I was so set on what I wanted to do my whole life.”
Lauren began dating Ty Dolla two years ago after they met when they collaborated on the Fifth Harmony song ‘Work From Home’ in 2016 and, although it was obvious they were together, they played down the rumours.
Asked whether they were dating in 2017, Lauren said: “We’re just, you know what I mean – we’re just vibing. I don’t want to talk about that.”

Roxanne Pallett quits radio show

OHMYGOSSIP — Roxanne Pallett has quit her radio show and will be replaced in ‘Cinderella’.
The former ‘Emmerdale’ actress has resigned from her role as breakfast show co-host on North Yorkshire’s Minster FM, on which she worked alongside Ben Fry, to “take some time out” following her controversial ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ appearance.
Her time on ‘CBB’ ended in disaster after she branded Ryan Thomas a “woman beater” and accused him of punching her only to back-track on her comments after she left the house early, admitting she had made a “horrible mistake”.
A Minster FM statement read: “As a result of discussions today with her representatives, Minster FM can confirm that Roxanne Pallett has stepped down from her position at the station with immediate effect to take some time out and reflect on recent events.
“Roxanne will not be returning to Minster FM.”
The 35-year-old star has also quit upcoming panto ‘Cinderella’, in which she was due to play the lead role.
A tweet on the Chesterfield Theatres Twitter account read: “Statement from Paul Holman Associates: Roxanne Pallet has today decided to step down from her upcoming role as Cinderella in Chesterfield, in order to take some time out and reflect on recent events. We wish Roxanne the best and will be announcing her replacement in due course. (sic)”
Following her ‘CBB’ appearance, Roxanne has now deleted her Twitter and Instagram accounts after a huge backlash from fans.
She appeared in an interview with show host Emma Willis on the Channel 5 reality TV show on Monday night (03.09.18), in which the former ‘Waterloo Road’ star claimed she was now the “most hated girl in Britain”.
She said: “I’m the most hated girl in Britain right now, it’s a lot to deal with … that’s the title I feel everyone has given me at the moment.
“All I can do is own it, accept it and apologise.
“I feel devastated. It cripples me with embarrassment and shame that I could have put somebody in that position. Seeing the footage of Ryan in the Diary Room, distressed … I fully agree and understand with every single person’s reaction and perceptions to that. If I’d have been at home watching that I would have been the same.”
Following the chat, Ryan’s brother Scott Thomas praised Emma for “not sugar coating” the interview, and his other brother Adam Thomas admitted all he could hear when Roxanne spoke was “white noise”.
The former ‘Emmerdale’ star tweeted: “I just heard white noise coming from her all I needed was the look on @EmmaWillis face throughout …it said it all am done with all this now it’s draining … #voteryan2win #CBBUK (sic)”
What’s more, Ryan’s mum Sandra has admitted she will never be able to forgive Roxanne for what the 35-year-old actress has put her former ‘Coronation Street’ star son through.

Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima to reconcile?

OHMYGOSSIP — Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima have sparked speculation they could reconcile after they started “spending time together” again.
The former couple split last month, but they have been spotted out and about together, and appear to be giving their romance another go, after the model reached out to the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star.
A source said: “Kourtney and Younes are spending time together again. Things are not yet back to what they were before – it’s not an official relationship.
“Kourtney always liked him though and it was hard for her to stay away after he reached out.”
While there was no infidelity involved in their split, the pair are said to still have “issues to work out” before they potentially become a couple again.
The source added to PEOPLE: “He says he never cheated on her. And it seems she believes him. Kourtney seems happy with him for now.
“But it still seems like they have issues to work out.”
The 39-year-old reality star and the 25-year-old model – who started dating in 2016 – were spotted at a sushi restaurant in Malibu together on Monday night (03.09.18).
But sources told gossip website TMZ that Kourtney is still happily single, and not back with Younes.
However, the pair’s meet up comes after Kourtney – who has kids Mason, eight, Penelope, six, and Reign, three, with her former partner Scott Disick – was recently said to have completely cut ties with Younes following their break up.
An insider said: “Kourtney is doing great. She isn’t seeing Younes. She is happy being single for now.
“After all the drama with Scott over the years, she wasn’t going put up with any drama from Younes. She cut him off. She is focused on her kids and herself.”
It was also recently claimed the pair’s split was welcomed by Kourtney’s family, including her sister Kim Kardashian West and her mother Kris Jenner.
A source said: “Kourtney was always so private and closed off when it came to Younes, and that really distanced herself from her sisters.
“Things are fine with them now and I’m sure they’ll get even more back to normal now that it seems he’s out of the picture for good.
“This could be a really positive thing for her relationship with her family.”

Kim Kardashian West trying to get convicted felon freed

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West is trying to get another convicted felon released from prison.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star was proud of herself earlier this year when she managed to convince President Donald Trump to pardon Alice Johnson – a 63-year-old grandmother who was thrown behind bars in 1997 on money laundering and drug conspiracy charges – after she employed a team of lawyers to defend her.
And now Kim wants to do it again for a 30-year-old man called Chris Young, who was sentenced to life in prison for marijuana and cocaine possession after being arrested in 2010, because she thinks it’s “unfair” that he was given such a harsh sentence.
Speaking on Jason Flom’s ‘Wrongful Conviction’ podcast, which will go to air on Wednesday (05.09.18), the 37-year-old reality TV star said: “Yesterday, I had a call with a gentleman that’s in prison for a drug case — got life. It’s so unfair. He’s 30 years old. He’s been in for almost 10 years.”
Kim set the ball rolling straight away and has since spoken to the Tennessee Judge Kevin Sharp, who resigned because the law forced him to give such a long sentence, and the pair of them are working with her team of lawyers to help release Chris.
She explained: “I was on the phone with the judge that sentenced him to life,who resigned because he had never been on the side of having to do something so unfair, and now he is fighting [alongside] us to get [Young] out.”
The brunette beauty is now in regular contact with President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner as he too is “passionate” about changing the US sentencing laws.
Meanwhile, Kim may have made a career out of her looks and curvaceous figure, but she recently said she’d love to follow in her late father Robert Kardashian’s footsteps and become a lawyer – and her team of legal advisors think she’d be good at it.
She said: “All of my attorneys at home always joke, like, ‘You’ve gotta just come be in the office.’ If I didn’t have to go for so much school, I would truly love to be an attorney [and] practice all the time. Everyone who knows me knows that I’m so passionate about it.”

Sharon Osbourne slams X Factor boss Simon Cowell

OHMYGOSSIP — Sharon Osbourne thinks Simon Cowell will do whatever it takes to get his “fat face” on television.
The 65-year-old judge is at risk of being fired from ‘The X Factor UK’, which she’s meant to be returning to later this year for the live shows, after she unleashed a vicious attack on her boss, in which she claimed she wanted to drown him, and branded the talent series a “f***ing karaoke.”
Speaking on ‘The Howard Stern Show’, Sharon called the 58-year-old music mogul a “f***ing pain in the arse” who “will do whatever” to get his “f***ing fat face on TV.”
Asked who she would save if they were on a sinking ship, Sharon joked: “We would put a f***ing brick around his neck and throw him over. I will drown you mother f***er. Absolutely…he’s gone.”
Despite her cruel words, Sharon – who is married to Ozzy Osbourne – is “still waiting to hear” whether she’ll receive a pay rise from ITV this year as her contract has a clause in it meaning she must be paid the same – around £10 million – as the highest paid stars on the talent show.
She explained: “So Simon and I have a clause in my contract, ‘favourite nations.’ Simon goes to the press and goes, ‘This is the best £10 million I have ever spent’.
“So I go, ‘I have favourite nations, where is my f**king £10 million? I have a clause’. I am a businesswoman. But after I just said I am going to tie a brick around his neck and let him drown and now I am talking about it, he will be f**ked.”
And, although she’ll only be present for the live shows – sparking rumours she’s being silently dropped after this year – Sharon is glad she doesn’t have to listen to “those little sh*ts.”
She said: “Oh f**k, I don’t have to have those kids singing in my face. Those little shits. They all suck. It is like, ‘Hey, is this f**king karaoke or what?’ ”
This year’s panel is comprised of Simon, Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field and Louis Tomlinson after Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger were dropped from the line up.

Daniel Craig joins Rian Johnson’s new film

OHMYGOSSIP — Daniel Craig has joined the cast of Rian Johnson’s new film – sparking speculation ‘Bond 25’ may be delayed.
The 50-year-old actor has signed up to appear in ‘Knives Out’, a ‘Poirot’-style murder mystery which has been penned by Johnson and his long-time producing partner Ram Bergman, and the ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ director has hinted Craig became available after Danny Boyle quit the forthcoming James Bond film.
Johnson told Deadline: “I have been a huge fan and always wanted to work with him and as I worked on the script, trying to get it right, Ram and I were wringing our hands over who could be the detective.
“Then, serendipitously, we heard Daniel might have a small window, and it worked out. He’s an actor of extraordinary range, and we are looking forward to the fun of finding that modern detective, and collaborating with Daniel on creating a new ‘Poirot’.”
Craig is expected to start shooting ‘Knives Out’ in November, which could mean ‘Bond 25’ may be delayed, as has been widely speculated, and miss its scheduled November 8, 2019 release date.
Johnson will make ‘Knives Out’ before starting work on a new ‘Star Wars’ trilogy.
He and Bergman have completed the script on the murder mystery film, and the motion picture’s North American rights will be shopped to potential buyers at this week’s Toronto International Film Festival.
Johnson is said to be a huge fan of Dame Agatha Christie, the late, great detective novelist, and as a result he has wanted to make a locked mansion door murder mystery movie.
Craig was recently confirmed to reprise his role as suave spy Bond for the 25th film in the franchise, but last month bosses revealed director Boyle had exited the film.
A tweet on the official 007 Twitter account read: “Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig today announced that due to creative differences Danny Boyle has decided to no longer direct Bond 25.”
Edgar Wright and Jean-Marc Vallee are said to be among the front-runners to replace Boyle.

Jennifer Garner ‘boxed every day’ for Peppermint

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Garner boxed “every day” to get in shape for ‘Peppermint’.
The ’13 Going On 30′ star portrays Riley – a mother who wakes from her coma to discover her daughter and husband have been murdered in a drive-by – in the action revenge movie and she has admitted, although she was excited about the physical challenge the role entailed, she had to do a mixture of physical activities every single day to make sure she was in the best possible shape for the film.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, she said: “There was a lot of training, it was very physical. I was in pretty good shape going into it, and I said to them, ‘You know, I know how to train for this movie, I can get where I need to go and I know what I need to do,’ and they said, ‘OK.’ We did a lot of dance, cardio, but we also you know did crazy weights and I did bands, and did trampoline, and did everything. I also boxed every day, and then I trained with the stunt team.”
The 46-year-old actress found that she started channelling her former alter-ego Sydney Bristow – whom she played in the ABC action series ‘Alias’ – when they started shooting the movie – even though they both have different stories to tell.
She explained: “At first, when we started shooting, I would be back in action mode I would just kind of fall into being Sydney Bristow. I walked liked her because my body had this memory of it. But Sydney was an optimistic young girl who was out to take care of things, but she had an optimism to her. Whereas my character Riley North [in ‘Peppermint’] everything has been taken from, and she is at the depths of the depths and is coming at it from an almost animalistic point.
“There was a time I did something where I walked up the stairs and… I looked back over, and [when] I got up the stairs, I was like, ‘Hang on, let me do that again, that was pure Sydney.’ ”

Tenacious D to release new album

OHMYGOSSIP — Tenacious D are to release their first new album for six years.
The rock duo – made up of Jack Black and Kyle Gass – will drop their fourth studio album, 21-track ‘Post-Apocalypto’, on November 2, which will feature Nirvana stickman and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl on drums.
An accompanying six-episode YouTube series of the same name will debut on September 28, and each episode of the series, which will feature animations drawn by Hollywood star Jack, will feature new songs by the band.
The official synopsis of the series – which will drop on Fridays from September 28 until the record’s release – reads: “‘Post-Apocalypto’ finds Tenacious D thrust into a world of complete and utter destruction following the drop of an atomic bomb.
“Surviving the attack in classic cinematic fashion (a good old imperishable 1950’s refrigerator), the duo quickly learns that new forms of evil have spawned from the blast. One thing becomes apparent – for humanity to prevail, Tenacious D must save the world.
“With unimaginable twists and turns, an insane visit to the White House, a time machine, a space adventure, and the help of some tried and true daddy issues, Post-Apocalypto is as hilarious as it is political, and as brilliant and multi-faceted as its incredible creators. The songs are damn good, too.”
Tenacious D last dropped an album in 2012 when they released ‘Rize of the Fenix’, following on from ‘The Pick of Destiny’ in 2006, and their self-titled debut record in 2001.
Dave drummed on several tracks on the duo’s first album, and returned for track ‘Beelzeboss (The Final Showdown)’ on their follow-up album, some of which was recorded at his studio.
He also played drums on the majority of Tenacious D’s ‘Rize of the Fenix’ record.

Cardi B snubs studio for baby daughter

OHMYGOSSIP — Cardi B feels guilty that she hasn’t been in the recording studio for two days.
The ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker threw herself back into work just four weeks after giving birth to her daughter Kulture, whom she has with her husband Offset, but she has admitted she’s finding it harder and harder to leave the seven-week-old tot to record some new tunes now that she’s starting to show her personality.
Taking to her Twitter account, the 25-year-old rapper said: “I missed two days in the studio!Its Kulture fault,her eyes be telling me “don’t go momma ” (sic)”
The brunette beauty had been spending every night in the studio up until now because she’s got “so much work to do” on her album and “so little time.”
She said: “Sooooo much work , soooo little time. I shall finish though (sic)”
Cardi previously teased she was going to unveil at least five new tracks, which didn’t make her debut album ‘Invasion Of Privacy’, at the beginning of this month.
In an Instagram live, she said: “There’s about five songs that I was supposed to put on ‘Invasion Of Privacy’ but they didn’t fit and make sense. So I’m gonna put it on this project that I really want to put out on September 1st, but I’m missing like four or five songs. I got four or five songs I gotta finish for this project and I got like six features I still got to do [for other artists].”
Cardi was hit with backlash when she said that she had gone back to work just weeks after giving birth but she admitted that she needed to stay relevant.
She tweeted at the time: “Work. Today I’m going to finally step out and hit the studio. Cook up some new music for yaa (sic)”

Louis Tomlinson wants to give Simon Cowell a makeover

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Tomlinson wants to give Simon Cowell a makeover.
The One Direction singer is tired of seeing his fellow ‘X Factor’ judge wearing the same outfits every year on the show so thinks it would be “funny” to get the 58-year-old music mogul into similar clothes to what he wears himself when the programme reaches the live stages of the competition.
He told The Sun newspaper: “He doesn’t really stray from what he always wears. I did think it would be funny, because he’s always in the same clothes, that for the live shows I want to see him in a full tracksuit and a Burberry cap.
I’ve got it in my head so I’m hoping to make that happen.”
Simon could take Louis’ style tips on board because earlier this week, he spoke of the “strong bond” he shares with the 26-year-old singer and admitted he values his opinions.
He said: “There’s a really strong bond between us, we’ve always been close.
“From the beginning of One Direction I talked to Louis so much. So when we’ve been auditioning on ‘X Factor’ in the past I’m always curious to hear what he likes.
“He knows I’m not a huge fan of all the guitar acts, so we wind each other up about that. You want people with strong opinions.
“He keeps calling me the gaffer which I think is hysterical. I’m not the gaffer, but he knows me well enough that we just take the mickey out of each other!”
And Simon – who is also joined on this year’s panel by Robbie Williams and Ayda Field – suggested the ‘Just Hold On’ hitmaker could even take his place as head judge in years to come.
He added in an interview with MailOnline: “I hope he’ll be like me! Maybe he could be my successor… you never know!
“But seriously, I’ve met my match, I’ve got to admit it. All the judges this year have their own opinions, good ideas, it’s been really fun.”

Olivia Culpo ‘happy’ for ex Nick Jonas

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Culpo is “so happy” for her ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas following his engagement to Priyanka Chopra.
The 26-year-old model dated the ‘Jealous’ hitmaker for two years until their relationship turned sour in 2015 and they went through a “tough” and publicised break up, but it seems there are no hard feelings between them anymore as she’s over the moon that he’s met someone who makes him happy.
Speaking to People.com, she said: “I think that any time anybody can find love, especially in this industry — because it’s difficult. You can see there’s a track record of things not working out. So I’m so happy for him. I wish everybody can find love and happiness. That does not mean I would not wish that for him.”
Nick proposed to Priyanka, 36, in July following just two months of dating and it seems the 25-year-old singer has already settled into the family well as his future mother-in-law can’t praise him enough.
Madhu Chopra said recently: “Nick is calm and mature. He’s a wonderful person and everyone in the family just loves him. He’s so polite and respectful towards elders. What more can a mother want!”
While the matriarch hopes to see her daughter wed in a “traditional Indian” ceremony, she doesn’t expect the couple will tie the knot any time soon as they are both busy with work commitments.
She explained: “They haven’t decided on a wedding date yet. It’s too soon.
“Both of them have work commitments right now which they need to finish. They will take some time to decide where they want it and when they want it.”
Olivia, on the other hand, is focusing on her own relationship as she recently rekindled things with her partner Danny Amendola following their split late last year.
She said: “If you want to make something work, you make it work. I always just say that you can’t think about how. You just have to try your hardest and know what feels right.
“If it’s meant to be then it should be easy and it should be something that is fun. And if it doesn’t work out then that’s because it wasn’t meant to be. That’s my attitude.”

Jennifer Garner urged to date

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Garner’s friends wants her to join a dating app.
The 46-year-old actress is currently single after splitting from former husband Ben Affleck in 2015 and her pals think she is “actual perfection” who any guy would love to date.
Her friend Sara Foster – dating app Bumble BFF’s head of creative – told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “People say all these [wonderful] things on a red carpet, lifting everyone up, but I’m actually being really honest… Jen Garner is actual perfection.
