Janet Jackson didn’t feel sexy til her 30s

OHMYGOSSIP — Janet Jackson didn’t feel sexy until she was “well into” her 30s.
The ‘That’s The Way Love Goes’ hitmaker – who had her first marriage, to James DeBarge, annulled when she was 19 and went on to wed Rene Elizondo Jr. for nine years from 1991 and businessman Wissam Al Mana for five years until they split in April 2017, as well as having a seven-year relationship with Jermaine Dupri from 2002 to 2009 – admitted entering therapy helped her to feel better about herself and realise she wasn’t as “bad” as she thought.
Asked when she first felt sexy, she said: “I would say not until I was well into my 30s. I got out of a funky relationship and finally got back to me.
“I went to therapy, which was all about finding that thing you like about yourself.
“The realisation that, you know what, you’re not so bad after all. I’m not saying you’re great or you’re the best, but it’s not as bad as you were made to feel that it was.”
And Janet – who has son Eissa, 18 months, with Wissam – admitted her negative feelings stemmed from a bad relationship.
She explained: “Loving that someone and trusting that someone, you believe that person when they tell you [things]. You think they’re being as honest with you as you are with them. It was all to control the brain. That was around the time of (2001 album) ‘All for You’.”
The ‘Together Again’ singer found therapy helped her accept her body but she admitted she initially found it tough to find anything about her appearance that she liked.
She admitted to America’s InStyle magazine: “I had to find something in my body that I loved, and that was difficult for me to do.
“At first, I couldn’t find anything. I would look in the mirror and start crying. I didn’t like that I was not attractive. I didn’t like anything about me.
“But I wound up falling in love with the small of my back. And then from there I found more things.
“And then finally realising my smile isn’t that bad after all. I thought I looked like the Joker because it was so big.”

Kim Kardashian enlists help of ‘selfie assistant’

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West’s doctor ordered her to stop taking selfies.
The 37-year-old reality star is a prolific posters of photos of herself on social media and she wouldn’t even let an injured wrist get in her way of sharing pictures and clips to promote her fragrance line.
Instead, Kim enlisted a crew member from ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ to use her phone to find her perfect angle and shoot photos and video for her instead.
In scenes set to air on the show on Sunday (09.09.18), Kim said: “My hand hurts. I forgot my brace… Paxy, will you come over here and help me?”
Her sister, Khloe Kardashian, interjected to ask: “What are you having her do?”
The ‘Selfish’ writer – who has children North, five, Saint, two, and Chicago, eight months, with husband Kanye West – attempted to lift up her phone but could not raise it all the way to record the video she wanted to post on her social media accounts to wanted the crew member to do it instead.
She explained: “The doctor says I can only hold my phone like this. So, I’m having Paxy take my pics so I can rest my hands.”
Paxy then helped Kim take a short video to promote the launch of her Valentine’s Day Kimoji Hearts perfume.
And Kim’s mother, Kris Jenner, thought her daughter had come up with a great idea and even admitted she wanted to “poach” the crew member herself to do the same job for her.
Talking to the camera, the 62-year-old momager said: “It’ll protect Kim’s hand without missing a beat on social media. I’m definitely gonna poach Paxy to be my selfie assistant.”

John Legend slams Donald Trump

OHMYGOSSIP — John Legend has branded US President Donald Trump a “really terrible person” who “shouldn’t be” in charge of the country.
The ‘All of Me’ hitmaker has been a vocal critic of the US leader and he insists he is right to use his public platform to condemn the political landscape because the former ‘Apprentice’ star “deserves” it.
He said: “He deserves the criticism. He’s done some awful things, and I think he’s a really terrible person as well.
“I think he’s selfish, he’s racist, he’s misogynist, he’s a liar, probably the worst liar we’ve even seen in public life, really ill-informed, a narcissist… I could go on!
“But I think it’s clear he’s an awful person and shouldn’t be president.”
The 39-year-old singer has crossed paths with his friend Kanye West over their differing attitudes towards the president and he’s urged the ‘All Day’ rapper to take a closer look at Trump’s policies and how they affect people.
Speaking on UK TV show ‘This Morning’, he said: “It’s not an uncommon thing for people to disagree politically… but I’m right and he’s wrong!
“And what I was pointed out [to Kanye] is that it doesn’t matter if you like this guy personally, what matters is what he’s doing in office.
“One of the things he’s chosen to do is use the office as a tool… to say we don’t want certain immigrants to come from certain countries because they don’t look a certain way, treating immigrants like they are animals, separating their families…
“And if you put his policies into action they cause real life consequences for people, and they are pretty awful.”
John – who has children Luna, two, and Miles, three months, with wife Chrissy Teigen – admitted he wishes he could do more to instigate change.
He said: “In my new song, I say you can’t preach you have to do something. It’s frustrating… you can vote, but hopefully, congress and other officials will respond and hold him accountable.”
However, he has no plans to run for office himself.
Asked if he’d run for president, he said: “No! But I believe we should stay engaged and be a part of politics.”

John Simm doesn’t think Trauma sequel would work

OHMYGOSSIP — John Simm has ruled out a second series of ‘Trauma’.
The 48-year-old actor played dad Dan Bowker in ITV’s three part drama, which saw his character pursuing a surgeon (Adrian Lester) who was responsible for the death of his son.
Now, the leading man has played down the idea of another run because he feels it would be too unfair on Dan to put him through any more pain.
He told Digital Spy: “I think Trauma would be a no [to returning] because it would be difficult to revisit.
“He’s an everyman, an ordinary guy – you can’t have anything else happen to him, as it would be unfair.”
However, the former ‘Life On Mars’ star did admit he would be open to the idea of reviving supernatural drama ‘Life on Mars’ 11 years after he last played police officer Sam Tyler.
He pointed to his ‘Doctor Who’ return last year as The Master – seven years after his previous appearance – and revealed it’s certainly a possibility.
He added: “I’d certainly consider it! It could end up like ‘Doctor Who’ – I never thought that was going to happen again and then … time travel!”
In the meantime, John will be back on the small screen with ITV in the broadcaster’s upcoming eight part thriller ‘Strangers’.
The new show – which starts next week – sees him star as Jonah, a man whose world as he knows it comes crashing down after his wife dies in Hong Kong and it’s revealed she was leading a secret double life.
‘Strangers’ begins on Monday September 10 at 9pm on ITV.

Charlotte Riley spills on storyline cuts on Press

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlotte Riley has revealed that several storylines had to be cut from newspaper drama ‘Press’ because they happened in real life.
The new series – which has been written by ‘Doctor Foster’ creator Mike Bartlett – follows two fictional newspapers in competition with each other and a number of fake newsworthy events in the plot had to be dropped because they were too similar to things actually occurring in British society, such as a bomb attack on the London Underground.
Charlotte – who plays the Deputy News Editor of fictional broadsheet The Herald – told the Daily Star newspaper: “There were one or two storylines that we filmed that then actually happened in real life, so they didn’t make the cut. We couldn’t then use them because they were too close to reality. One of them was a bomb on the District line of the Tube at Parsons Green. We ended up cutting that out because it had literally just happened. There were others too.”
The BBC One drama will explore the “fast-paced and challenging environment of the British newspaper industry” in a time of “turmoil” and follows reporters at the two rival publications.
Press also stars ‘Apple Tree Yard’ actor, Ben Chaplin, 49, and ‘Poirot’ legend David Suchet, 72, among a stellar cast and Charlotte, 36, admits she and her co-stars were spooked by Mike’s seemingly precognitive scripts and left her wondering if he was a “witch” with the power to see into the future.
Charlotte added: “When things from the script kept happening in real life I thought, ‘What is going on here?’ That was quite fascinating. But it made me think the writer was a witch of some kind.”
‘Press’ begins on BBC One at 9pm on Thursday (06.09.18).

Philip Olivier accuses Roxanne Pallett of CBB plot to win

OHMYGOSSIP — Philip Olivier claims Roxanne Pallett tried to get his best friend Ryan Thomas kicked out of the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house because she was so “hungry to win the competition”.
The former ‘Benidorm’ star was astonished when Roxanne accused Ryan of assaulting her during a bout of play-fighting which lasted just seconds, asking for him to be removed from the ‘CBB’ house for his actions.
Philip, 38, is pleased that the public saw what really happened and backed his pal Ryan, 34, and he is certain Roxanne, 35, was playing a game which backfired on her.
Appearing on ‘Loose Women’, he said: “He’s my best friend, so it’s heartbreaking to see him. Especially because he was apprehensive about going in, because he was thinking times have changed. I was saying to Ryan before he went in, ‘Are you joking, you’re gonna win this.’ Because the guy I know he is, thankfully, the whole nation’s seen it. I can’t wait for Ryan to come out, because he doesn’t even realise how big of a story he is. I don’t think there’s another person in the world that could have handled it the way he’s done.
“In terms of Roxy, what she’s done, she was just hungry to win the competition. She just wanted to get rid of Ryan because he was the favourite. If she would’ve come out and said that, great. But, you know, karma’s come back and we’ve had all this now, and I think it should end with her. I think she’s gone through enough turmoil herself. Leave that behind and let Ryan come out and get the praise that he deserves.”
Philip appeared on the ITV daytime show with his former ‘Brookside’ co-star Jennifer Ellison, whom he was reunited with for the first time in 15 years.
Although the Channel 4 soap ended in November 2003 after 21 years on air, both actors had nothing but fond memories of their time on Phil Redmond’s show.
Jennifer, 35, said: “It was dramatic but it was the best time ever. I started when I was 12 I learned everything from it.”
Philip added: “It feels like an eternity ago. It’s a massive part of our lives. If people told me when I was 15 I’d still be getting called Tinhead approaching 40…”

Keeley Hawes is hungry for KFC

OHMYGOSSIP — Keeley Hawes thinks KFC is the food that sums up happiness.
The 42-year-old actress has confessed she has a voracious appetite for the American fried chicken fast food chain, famous for its secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices.
Keeley admits her love of KFC founder Colonel Saunders’ menu is in stark contrast with some of the other eateries she frequents in London which make her other must-have dishes, which include a Reuben sandwich – a giant corn beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut bread encased delight – and breaded veal.
When asked what her favourite foods are, she said: “Wiener Schnitzel and pickled cucumbers at The Wolseley. I’m also a big fan of the Rueben sandwich from Selfridges food hall. And anything from KFC, god help me!”
The ‘Bodyguard’ star admitted that The Wolseley hotel in London, that sells her favourite Schnitzel, is her happy place.
She added: “It’s definitely up there, and the accessory department of Liberty or having a Marie Kondo-style clear out.”
Keeley’s new BBC One show ‘Bodyguard’ has been confirmed as the most-watched new drama on any UK TV channel since 2006 with consolidated viewing figures of 10.4 million viewers.
The programme also stars Richard Madden as a war veteran turned police officer assigned to protect Home Secretary Keeley whose politics he opposes.
The BBC also announced that ‘Bodyguard’ also broke records on its iPlayer catch-up service with 2.2 million requests in its first seven days and three million requests to date.

Cate Blanchett’s daughter is ‘extraordinary blessing’

OHMYGOSSIP — Cate Blanchett’s daughter has been “an extraordinary blessing.”
The ‘Blue Jasmine’ star adopted Edith, three, with her husband Andrew Upton – with whom she also has three sons Dashiell, 16, Roman,14, and 10-year-old Ignatius – in 2015 and she has admitted none of them expected the little girl to light up their lives as much as she has done over the past three years.
She said: “She has been an extraordinary blessing for all of us.”
Edith’s arrival into the family saw the 49-year-old actress take a step back from her movie career and focus on being “present” with her husband and children.
Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar magazine, she explained: “It’s a huge part of what I am and what I want to do. I can’t help it, it’s part of my instinct.
“Edith woke up in the middle of the night and said: ‘Will you pick me up from school tomorrow?’ I’d sort of said to the babysitter, I really can’t pick her up, because I didn’t want to be late for you. But I was really happy to be able to.
“Being able to do what you say you’re going to do – there is nothing better. I love it when I wake up thinking that there’s something on, and then I realise that I’ve got the day wrong, and all of us can just stay in our pyjamas…”
And, although her career has given her the freedom to pick and choose what she does, Cate doesn’t want her kids to follow in her footsteps when they’re older.
She said: “I think if I was in a different profession, if I was a lawyer, or a doctor, or an architect, maybe, or if I had a trade that I could actually use in the Armageddon, then there would be a sense that that would be a great and expected thing. Certainly my children do not want to be ‘the son of’, and I know that my feisty daughter will not want to be ‘the daughter of’ …
“And there is more rejection than there is acceptance.”

The Beckham’s holidayed in France with Sir Elton John

OHMYGOSSIP — David Beckham and his family holidayed in France with Sir Elton John.
The 43-year-old football star – alongside his wife Victoria and their four children, Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 15, Cruz, 13, and Harper, seven – decided to get away with the 71-year-old pop icon and his husband David Furnish, and the pair took a relaxing boat ride down the French Riviera.
The sportsman posted a photo on Instagram of him and the ‘Rocket Man’ hitmaker chilling out on a boat, while a shirtless David wrapped his arms around Elton.
David wrote: “Uncle Elton…. We have known each other now for 25 years .. Fun times with each other @eltonjohn@davidfurnish. (sic)”
The two were flooded with comments from fans who loved their friendship.
One user wrote: “What an amazing pictures. 2 legends as good friends. X (sic)”
Another said: “Great photo. It must be great to be famous and actually have a lot of close friends and love for people and the world. (sic)”
Before the two families set sail on Elton’s luxury yacht, the ‘Tiny Dancer’ singer dined with Victoria, David and their brood on the island Île Sainte-Marguerite, at the La Guérite restaurant half a mile off the coast of Cannes.
Victoria wore a chic long length white camisole vest paired with a floor length white maxi skirt, a floral tote bag, white flip flops and her signature big shades.
David sported a light blue Ralph Lauren shirt and a baby pink sun hat, while Elton stuck to his quirky style in a shirt covered in multicoloured fish and purple and red trainers.
Elton also shared a picture on his own Instagram account of himself on the same boat beside 44-year-old Victoria and David.
He wrote: “Winding down my Summer holiday with these lovely people. @victoriabeckham @davidbeckham. (sic)”

Shawn Mendes would make time for love

OHMYGOSSIP — Shawn Mendes has admitted you need to “make time” for a relationship.
The 20-year-old singer recently suggested he isn’t “supposed” to be dating at the moment, but has now clarified his stance and added that he doesn’t think his career should stop him finding love.
Speaking to ‘Extra’, he said: “I didn’t mean it like I have to be single, I meant love isn’t something you should chase because then it isn’t real, so you have to just kind of let it happen …
“I don’t think you ever really get too busy for a relationship. I think you make time for it ’cause that’s important.”
However, Shawn’s comments come after he said he was focusing on his work and pushing himself “to his limit” by playing as many shows as he can.
He added: “I want to push myself to my limit of what I can handle and play as many shows and write as many songs as I can and fly around the world 10,000 times in a year, pushing myself to the point where it seems crazy.”
The ‘Like To Be You’ singer feels “groundwork” is very important in the industry.
He said recently: “I meet a lot of people who ask, ‘How do I do what you do?’ and within the first 10 minutes, from the way they talk about music, I can see that as much as they want to want it, they don’t. It’s just something you kind of have. People forget how important groundwork is – physically being in every city, meeting people, like in a presidential campaign.”
Shawn was last romantically linked to model Hailey Baldwin after they attended the 2018 MET Gala together earlier this year, but they both insisted they were just friends.
Just weeks after the gala, Hailey rekindled her romance with Justin Bieber following their 2016 fling, and the pair got engaged a month later.

Mikey North tries to overcome driving ‘phobia’

OHMYGOSSIP — Mikey North signed up to ‘All Star Driving School’ to try to overcome his “phobia” of motoring.
The ‘Coronation Street’ star – who plays builder Gary Windass in the ITV soap – decided to learn to drive after he was mocked by his friends because he can’t get behind the wheel aged 31, but he isn’t sure why he opted to have lessons on national TV.
When asked if he was nervous about the show, he replied: “Absolutely terrified! When I was 17 I moved to London and I didn’t need to drive, and now I’m 31 and get stick from my friends.
“It’s become a bit of a phobia of mine, and so for some stupid reason I thought, ‘Let’s go on national television and learn how to drive in front of everyone!’ ”
Mikey deliberately moved to a flat as close as possible to Corrie’s Manchester studios so he could walk to the set in just seven seconds, but admits he takes a lot of taxis to other places.
He said: “Uber is going to go out of business if I pass. I used to live opposite the studios at work and so that was easy enough.
“I purposely moved to the closest possible flat to the entrance of the studio and it was a 7 second walk to work.”
Mikey admitted another one of his reasons for learning to drive was to save his wife Rachael Isherwood – who he has 18-month-old son Archie with – from having to transport him around all the time.
Speaking to What’s On TV magazine, he added: “I did it for my little boy, who is almost two, and also for my wife.
“She’s sick of ferrying me everywhere to be honest. If I pass it will open up a whole new world for me, everyone has always told me that it will be life-changing.”
‘All Star Driving School’ sees celebrity learners paired up with driving instructors to take part in an intensive driving course.
This year’s series will also feature pop star Vanessa White, Made in Chelsea’s Victoria Baker-Harber, comedian Mark Watson, singer Tallia Storm, The Vamps’ Tristan Evans, ‘Hollyoaks’ actress Ruby O’Donnell and ‘Famalam’ actor Tom Moutchi.

Top Gun: Maverick delayed until 2020

OHMYGOSSIP — The ‘Top Gun’ sequel has been delayed almost a year until June 26, 2020.
Tom Cruise is set to return for ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, which was originally slated for a July 12 release next summer, but it was announced this week that the movie has been pushed back by just over 11 months.
As reported by Variety, Paramount Pictures made the announcement and explained the extra time will be used by filmmakers to figure out the logistics of flight sequences with new planes and technology.
The sequel – which will come 34 years after the original hit the big screen – will be set in the world of drone technology, and it’s going to explore the end of the dogfighting era.
News of the delay comes after it was revealed Jon Hamm and Ed Harris have joined the cast of the film, which will see Cruise and Val Kilmer reprise their roles from the original.
The film will also star Miles Teller in the lead role as the son of Goose, Maverick’s wingman, who was played by Anthony Edwards in the original movie, as well as Jennifer Connelly, Glen Powell, Charles Parnell, Jay Ellis, Bashir Salahuddin, Danny Ramirez and Monica Barbaro.
However, the previously-announced Thomasin McKenzie has had to depart the project due to scheduling issues.
Director Joseph Kosinski previously hinted at what fans can expect from the follow-up.
Teasing that that film will focus on Maverick’s time in the modern armed forces, he said: “The Navy is very different now than it was in 1986. Back then, they hadn’t been in any war for 15 or 20 years at that point.
“Now, here in 2017, the Navy’s been at war for 20 years. It’s just a different world now, so you can’t remake the first movie. It has to adapt.”

Coronation Street’s Sinead Tinker set for cancer diagnosis

OHMYGOSSIP — Coronation Street’s Sinead Tinker is to be diagnosed with cervical cancer.
The knicker factory worker – played by Katie McGlynn – will be told she has the disease, which killed off former cobbles favourite Alma Halliwell (Amanda Barrie) in 2001, just weeks after discovering she is expecting Daniel Osbourne’s (Rob Mallard) baby.
A TV insider said: “This will be a real bombshell for the residents of the street.
“And the memories of what happened to Alma will come flooding back for Weatherfield’s older viewers.”
While Alma eventually died from the disease, it’s not known if Sinead will meet her maker or not.
Sinead will reveal she had noticed symptoms but didn’t go to get checked out, and she may have to consider an abortion so she can have treatment to save herself.
Alma’s cervical cancer story sparked controversy among some die-hard ‘Corrie’ supporters who claimed her deterioration was “unrealistic”, and the actress herself, who described the plot as a “cheap ratings ploy”.
The insider added to The Sun’s Bizarre TV column: “It was a controversial storyline at the time as Amanda accused bosses of using it for ratings.
“And some said the speed with which Alma deteriorated was very unrealistic.
“It remains to be seen whether Sinead’s cancer battle will have a similarly tragic ending.”
Amanda admitted at the time she didn’t like the plot “one bit” and felt “extremely anxious” about it.
Speaking in 2001, she said: “If you are going to take an issue like this and use it for entertainment you have to be just so very, very careful.
“From the moment I learned what was going to happen I was extremely anxious about it. And as Alma’s illness and deterioration proceeded with such amazing speed I really did feel I was being asked to take part in a cheap ratings ploy. I didn’t like it one bit.”
The plot saw Alma miss a smear test and then be the victim of a hospital blunder only to be diagnosed with terminal cervical cancer just weeks before her death.
A spokeswoman for the Cancer Research Campaign also described the storyline as “unrealistic”.
She said at the time: “The storyline was quite unrealistic. It’s highly unlikely that someone who had previously had negative smears would be suddenly be diagnosed as being in the terminal stages.
“It would only have been realistic if she had missed tests in the last 15 or 20 years or so. If she had been in the terminal stages, she would probably have had some form of bleeding or unexplained weight loss.
“Whilst we are not against soap operas making people aware of such issues, there is a responsibility on broadcasters to make sure that storylines are researched properly. Cancer is a very sensitive topic.”

“It is the greatest gift you can ask for as an artist. I can’t wait to share our art with the world!”

with her new music, and said she is “ready to unleash” her new music to the world.
She said: “I’m ready to unleash Ally. For so long I was in this box and now I’m out of it. I’m able to be who I want to be. Even my mom got emotional the other day. She’s like, ‘Ally, you are you again.’
And it’s beautiful. It really is. I love being able to have a say in everything that I do. They’re so open and also very smart and meticulous, and they pay attention to the details which is something that I’m just such a fan of.”
And as for what fans can expect from her new music, she promised it will be “different” from Fifth Harmony but will still have “flavour and flair”.
She added: “It will be different than Fifth Harmony. It’ll definitely have some flavour and flair, and I’ll be able to really be a different Ally than I was in Fifth Harmony.”
Fifth Harmony – which was also comprised of Normani, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui – announced their hiatus in March to focus on solo projects.
They said in a statement: “Reflecting on the past six years since we started on ‘X Factor’, we’ve realised just how far we’ve come and we appreciate everything so much, more now than ever. We’ve really had one hell of a memorable journey together and can’t begin to express our gratitude to y’all for coming along with us on this wild ride!
After six years gong hard, non-stop, we also realized that in order to stay authentic to ourselves and to you, we do need to take some time for now to go on hiatus from Fifth Harmony in order to pursue solo endeavours.”

On ‘I Might Need Security’, he blurts out: “And Rahm you done/I’m expecting a resignation/and open investigation on all these paid vacations for murderers.”
Whilst on ’65th’ he heaps praise on his regular collaborator Donald.
He raps: “All my raps was about suspension/Then one day Donald took me on tour/Young, broke Chano ain’t broke no more.”
The ‘Chain Smoker’ hitmaker’s hotly-anticipated follow-up to 2014’s ‘Coloring Book is also in the works, with Chance teasing it’s in the final stages.

Karl Lagerfeld’s bodyguard creates luxury capsule collection

OHMYGOSSIP — Karl Lagerfeld’s bodyguard has designed luxury fashion line.
Sebastien Jondeau has been the bodyguard and friend of the 84-year-old designer – who is the creative director for prestigious fashion houses Chanel and Fendi – since 1998, and it seems the 43-year-old Frenchman has picked up a thing or two about fashion from Karl, as he’s now created his own collection of “menswear essentials” inspired by his day-to-day life with the legendary fashion mogul.
Speaking to Refinery 29, Sebastien said: “The collection is the reflection of … it’s me. From where I came, to do this now, is a big bridge.
“I had a good team that helped me to make everything real. Karl is more than friendship for me. More like a father, but most of the time he is my boss, and I have a lot of respect for him. He’s been very generous.”
Since becoming Karl’s bodyguard 20 years ago after completing his service in the French army, Sebastien has modelled in many of Karl’s campaigns, including on the prestigious Chanel runways.
The bodyguard’s fashion line includes a cashmere beanie, “luxury sweats” and a three-piece evening suit based on Sebastian’s quick outfit changes between Karl’s various appointments.
Sebastien admitted the Chanel designer is a huge “inspiration” for him because of his dedication to fashion houses.
He added: “We’re on a plane and [Karl] can make a drawing of something he saw in his head. He wakes up at night to do drawings. He’s a big inspiration for me.”
The luxury collection of “menswear essentials” are now available for purchase online and can be shipped to 100 countries.
