OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Lopez once knocked her tooth out with her microphone.
The 49-year-old singer has had her fair share of embarrassing moments on stage over the years – including wardrobe malfunctions and awkward stumbles – but she has admitted she’ll never forget the time she whacked herself in the mouth with the singing device and chipped her front gnasher.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, she said: “I’ve chipped my tooth with a mic. Oh yeah, I’ve done so much stuff on stage, but I feel like I have stage angels because I do such crazy stuff on stage in my shows sometimes. This is why I have bruises everywhere all the time and I’ve chipped my tooth on stage and had to finish the show. Like, literally knocked my tooth out and I’m like, ‘Oh!’
“I went backstage and asked: ‘Can I finish the show like this?’ They’re like, ‘Yeah, yeah. It’s fine. It’s just a little chip.’ Or do I have to leave?”
And she’s not the only one who has experienced a red-faced moment on stage as her ‘World of Dance’ co-judge Jenna Dewan-Tatum still cringes at the time she fell flat on her face while being a backing dancer for Janet Jackson.
The 37-year-old professional dancer explained: “I’ve fallen on my face at least ten times. One time I fell off the stage when I was dancing with Janet. I was doing alright, you know. I’m living up there and I took one step and I went foom, like, down right into the front row. Right into the [crowd]. It was horrible.”
Meanwhile, Jenna – who split from her husband Channing Tatum earlier this year – recently admitted that she’s the worst one for crying on the programme.
Asked who the biggest crier is on the show, Jenna said: “Oh, me. Me. Are you kidding? I mean Jennifer and I are a close … we’re in the running together, but I … for sure. I’m backstage, I’m the momma bear to all of them so I see their entire journey from beginning to end, I’m the big cheerleader.
“But I feel for them. It’s high stakes, they’re trying to win $1 million, and it’s the dream of their life and it gets emotional.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Josh Brolin’s daughter is engaged.
The 50-year-old actor “couldn’t be more proud” that his 24-year-old daughter Eden, whom he has with ex-wife Alice Adair is set to marry her partner Cameron Crosby because he has a “strong feeling” that the hunk will look after his little girl.
Taking to his Instagram account, the ‘Deadpool 2’ star uploaded a photograph of the newly-engaged couple sharing a smooch on the edge of a picturesque lake.
He accompanied it with the caption: “He called me, sad that he couldn’t be there in person. He sweetly stuttered through his first sentences “I love your daughter. I really love your daughter” as it started to dawn on me what was happening.
“This was that moment and images of my little girl raced behind my eyes in rapid succession: her being born, catching her cutting her own hair in the barn in Prescott, walking to school in Templeton, her graduation speech, when she dyed her hair red, when Cody saved her life, fishing on the half day boat when she was telling all the big dudes to just throw up and that they would then feel better.
“My little girl’s getting married, asked by a guy whom I adore. Imagine that? A guy who I have a strong feeling will look after her best interests, keep her heart safe. Congratulations, you two. I couldn’t be more proud, more moved, or more relieved. Congratulations!!!! @edenbrolin& @cameroncrosby9 #daddyslittlegirl #maturity#realisasrealdoes #respectfulfiancee. (sic)”
It’s an exciting year for Josh – who also has son Trevor, 30 – as not only is his daughter engaged but he’s also expecting a baby with his wife Kathryn Boyd.
He said recently: “I’m always excited about kids. I prefer being around kids. You know, they have the imagination. They’re fun. I’ve heard other people be like, ‘Kid’s sitting there, he’s staring at nothing, he’s slobbering, like, what’s the point?’ The point is to sit there and slobber with him. That’s the point.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kerry Katona is worried she’ll go bankrupt again if she’s forced to cough up £40 a day to get her daughter school.
The Atomic Kitten singer is fuming that her 15-year-old daughter Lilly-Sue’s bus route to school has been scrapped over the summer and the only way she can get in from next week is to put up with a 90-minute commute or get a taxi for £200 a week.
Speaking to Kent Live, she said: “I’m a single parent and I have five children at three different schools. The bus route has been cancelled and they haven’t told us all summer until now… we’ve literally just found out it’s been cancelled. I’m in a panic.”
The 37-year-old star did toy with the idea of moving Lilly-Sue, whom she has with Brian McFadden, to a different school but she doesn’t think it’s fair that her studies should be affected.
She explained: “Why should my daughter have to change schools? She’s been here for four years. Do they want me to uproot my daughter because they cancelled her bus route?
“I’ve 100 per cent not got £40 per day to get her to school, it’s tight as it is. I’ll end up back in bankruptcy if that’s the case. I want to make sure my child gets the education she deserves.”
Lilly-Sue isn’t the only one affected by the bus route scrap as she is just one of 20 pupils left without transport to school.
A spokesman for Hams Travel told the publication: “The council took it away from us because it’s not commercially viable to keep it going. We have been doing the route for years and have had funding from the council for a long time.
“We didn’t know it would be cancelled until the last minute – not long ago. We got all the paperwork done but they pulled the funding, we had a driver allocated and everything.”
Kerry – who also has kids; Molly, 17, Heidi, 11, Maxwell, 10, and Dylan-Jorge, three – first went bankrupt in 2008 when she failed to pay the final £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill.
She then filed for bankruptcy again in 2013.

OHMYGOSSIP — Tyga is reportedly back together with his Playboy model girlfriend.
The 28-year-old rapper – who was previously in a long-term on/off relationship with Kylie Jenner – has reportedly rekindled his romance with Carla Howe after they split up in January because she couldn’t deal with his “controlling ways.”
A source told the MailOnline: “They’re back together but they argue a lot because he doesn’t like her going out. There have been jealousy issues.
“They both receive a lot of attention from the opposite sex and she feels like they have to learn to adjust and trust each other more.
“She’s happy he’s in a better place now from when they were dating before and feels like it could go further this time. They’re back and better than ever.
“She feels more secure because he invites her to the studio while he’s working so that she knows what he’s up to. Carla is a loyal person and is giving the romance her all, but sometimes feels like there’s a double standard because he gets a lot of girl attention and wasn’t 100 per cent truthful last time.”
Tyga and Carla began dating last year – shortly after he split from Kylie – after they began messaging in March and became an official couple in July.
However, things came crashing down less than a year later when Carla became fed up of the rap star’s “controlling ways” after he requested she delete racy Instagram photos of herself – despite it being her job and earning her money.
It also came around the same time she was being lined up for ‘Love Island’ – although she didn’t appear in the end – and she was worried their relationship would jeopardise her chances of bagging a place on this year’s line-up.
Carla has previously dated the likes of ‘X Factor’ winner James Arthur.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kym Marsh was provided with a counsellor for her harrowing still birth storyline on ‘Coronation Street’.
The 42-year-old star admits she was putting herself “into [her] own past” while shooting the scenes after she and her ex-husband Jamie Lomas’ son Archie died just a few seconds after he was born 18 weeks prematurely, and in the ITV soap plot her character Michelle Connor lost her baby son Ruairi, who was stillborn.
She said: “When I did the storyline for ‘Coronation Street’, that’s the closest I have come to being back in the room.
“ITV provided a counsellor, who gave me grounding exercises to do to bring me back to reality after I had been putting myself into my own past.”
Kym – who has daughter Polly, seven, with ‘Hollyoaks’ star Jamie, and children David, 23, and Emilie, 20, with former partner Dave Cunliffe – admitted she has always tried to make something “positive” out of the heart-breaking times in her life.
She added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I have been through my fair share of heartache – losing a child is something terrible – but I have tried to bring positives from it.”
In February, Kym revealed she cannot have any more kids after she underwent a “procedure” to curb her fertility.
She said: “Polly was seven weeks premature but OK and at my six-week check-up the consultant said, ‘Let’s talk about you having more children,’ and I told him I didn’t want any more.
“I didn’t want to go through the trauma again because there would never be any guarantee it would be fine.
“And not just for me, but for my children and my parents – everyone suffered.
“I had a procedure to stop all the women’s problems I was having and that means I can no longer have a child. I took that decision five years ago and I made peace with it then. I’ve got three beautiful children and an angel.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Aedan Duckworth wants more ‘Hollyoaks’ scenes with David Tag so he can show him what a “genuine body builder looks like”.
The 17-year-old star – who plays Oliver Morgan in the Channel 4 soap – has joked he is keen for more screen time with the show’s newcomer, who plays buff Sylver McQueen, because he would like to show him what a real ripped body looks like.
When asked who he would like more ‘Hollyoaks’ scenes with, he replied: “Probably David Tag, so I can show people what a genuine body builder looks like on screen not a pretend one!”
Aedan is currently involved in a hard-hitting abuse storyline, which sees his character Oliver groomed by football coach Buster Smith (Nathan Sussex), and the pair have poured over their scripts to ensure they play out the plot to the best of their abilities.
He added: “There were many things I did to prepare for this storyline. I’ve worked closely with the charity, Survivors Manchester, speaking with survivors in order to give a true representation of what it may have been like for someone in Ollie’s situation.
“I’ve also carried out my own specific research, and myself and Nathan Sussex have analysed scripts together finding important moments to highlight.”
And things look to get worse for Oliver next week when he lets Scott Drinkwell (Ross Adams) take the blame for some of Buster’s actions.
Aedan said: “Many things start to unravel for Ollie when his dad [Luke Morgan (Gary Lucy)] finds the pictures he has been trying to hide so badly.
“This spirals everything out of control, as Scott gets the blame and not the true abuser, Buster. It seems that there is no way Ollie could say how it truly is, but hopefully he can speak up and break the silence.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tiffany Haddish wants to date an English man.
The 38-year-old actress has admitted she’s very much “single” at the moment but would like to try and bag herself a guy from the UK because she loves the “accents and history” but would only be interested if he had inheritance.
Speaking on ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’, which airs on Saturday (01.09.18) at 9.15pm on ITV, she said: “I am very single. I feel like there’s nothing but opportunity here in the UK. I love the accents. I feel like there’s a lot of history, I feel like there’s a lot of men here that have inheritances. I would love to be with a man who with an inheritance. It’s not aggression, I just know what I want.”
The brunette beauty has even started flirting with men while out to dinner.
She explained: “I asked him, I said ‘How many baby mamas do you have?’ I ask them if they have any children, then I ask them if they have a husband and they say ‘No’ and then I’d be like ‘Do you want to go out?’ ”
Tiffany has seen her success rocket over the years and she believes she owes a lot to Kevin Hart because he gave her $300 when they first met so that she didn’t have to be homeless anymore and encouraged her to chase after her dreams.
Kevin explained: “When I saw you I said you were talented, extremely talented, we hit it off, had a friendship. Within our friendship, I then found out some stuff about you… Tiffany was actually homeless at the time, nobody knew but I found out. And because I’m such a good person – hence the last name, ‘Hart’ – I dug in my pocket and at the time I gave her all the money that I had and that money ended up doing a lot for you without me even knowing it.”
Tiffany added: “I used that money to put a down payment on an apartment and it got me a place to live and you taught me to make a list of goals of what I want out of my life, what I want to do in my career and I made that list and I have tackled that list and we are sitting here today, all the way in Europe. I feel like I’m doing big things! I’ve been trying to pay him back for years.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Pete Davidson asked for Ariana Grande’s permission before he kissed her.
The ‘God is a Woman’ hitmaker has admitted she’ll never forget the moment she and her fiance locked lips for the first time because it was so “sick and cute.”
Speaking on her friend Nicki Minaj’s show ‘Queen Radio’ on Apple Music’s Beats 1, she said of their first smooch: “It was so sick, it was so dope. It was so cute, he asked my permission to kiss me.
“It wasn’t like too naughty of a kiss, but definitely there was so much… you know… in there, you know? It was really sweet, but it was also really sexy.”
The couple only got engaged in June following a few weeks of dating but the 25-year-old singer thinks their relationship gets “better every day.”
She explained: “We have a lot of fun.
“He’s like my best friend. It just gets better every day. We’re like the boy and girl version of each other, except he’s 17 feet tall and I’m four inches tall.”
Nick replied: “Y’all have the same sense of humour. I know with girls like you and me who like the laugh, it’s so important.”
This isn’t the first time the 35-year-old rapper has praised the comedian as she recently gushed over the ‘Saturday Night Live’ star in a comment sent to Ariana over Instagram, jokingly asking her showbiz pal whether he has a brother.
In the comments section on the photo-sharing website, Nicki asked Ariana: “Omg @ the most perfect man on the planet. Wtf does he have a brother b**h??! (sic)”
Ariana subsequently told Nicki – with whom she’s frequently collaborated – that although Pete doesn’t have a brother, she considers herself to be the luckiest woman in the world.
She wrote: “No, but I’m the luckiest b***h in the galexy ill tell u dat (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Abby Lee Miller may never walk again.
The former ‘Dance Moms’ star – who is currently battling Burkitt Lymphoma, a rare form of cancer – has been told by doctors that her prognosis is looking “bleak” but she’s not letting it affect her as she’s determined to dance again.
A source told E! News: “Her prognosis is bleak, but she is vowing to beat this and not only walk, but dance again. She has been open about her diagnosis with her close friends who are in awe of Abby Lee’s fighting spirit. Her inner circle is rallying around her with support and regular visits to the ‘Dance Moms’ star.”
Abby’s cancer battle has been documented on camera and she has agreed to release a special show to raise awareness and share her heartbreaking journey.
The insider explained: “This entire situation is being documented on camera and will be a focal point on Abby Lee’s upcoming televised cancer special.”
The 51-year-old star first underwent emergency surgery in April after complaining of “excruciating neck pain”.
She went under the knife for a laminectomy, an operation to remove the back of one or more vertebrae, and her doctor, Dr. Hooman M. Melamed, previously admitted the dance instructor would have died if she had not had the procedure.
He said at the time: “She’s made some recovery in 24 hours, which is better than no recovery.
“Nobody wants to end up thinking they’re going to be paralysed for the rest of their life. That’s a reality that’s facing all of these patients going into it. All you can do is pray and, as a surgeon, you maximize everything you can for the spinal cord to recover itself. I am hopeful.
“There’s a chance this can spread to any part of the body … this is probably coming from somewhere else.
“We don’t know where the source is. Any tumour that spreads anywhere is automatically Stage 4, but we have not determined the stage yet.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Atkins thought Michelle Hardwick “was joking” when she found out their characters had to kiss on ‘Emmerdale’.
The 43-year-old actress’ alter-ego Charity Dingle and Michelle’s character Vanessa Woodfield shared their first smooch in the Woolpack cellar back in October 2017, cranking up their romance – which is known as Vanity by soap super-fans – but Emma wasn’t prepared for the initial “random” kiss.
She said: “I was on set, about to do a line run for a scene, and Michelle said, ‘Have you read the next block? We end up kissing in the cellar.’ I thought she was joking. It seemed so random.
“But then when you think about the way a soap works, it’s ever changing. Things move at a rapid pace. I read the script and thought, ‘Why not? This is what they’ve written, so let’s make it work.’ ”
But upon finding out, Emma tweaked the script slightly to make the smooch comical as well as “exciting”.
She said: “The cellar scene was so unexpected and I think we made something quite bold yet intimate.
“I asked the director and Michelle, of course, if I could pull the eye mask off Michelle’s face and ping it back to give the moment before they kissed some ‘impulsiveness’.
“We tried it and it just worked. Making use of her costume seemed a good way for Charity to make her move. It was funny as well as exciting.”
Emma has particularly enjoyed the plot because it has been a “wonderful contrast” from playing out Charity’s dark past, about which it was recently revealed she was abused by evil DI Bails (Rocky Marshall).
Quizzed on whether Emma sees a long-term future for Vanity, she told pop culture website AfterEllen.com: “I had no expectations, as I know how storylines can change overnight or run for a while. You never know.
“I like seeing Charity being emotionally affected by someone in a positive way for a change. It was a wonderful contrast to the really heavy storyline of Charity’s past.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is the “busiest guy in the world”.
The 46-year-old actor has emerged as one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars since making the transition from the WWE, and Hiram Garcia – who works with Dwayne at Seven Bucks Productions – has hailed his long-time friend’s incredible work ethic.
Recalling how Dwayne was cast in 2017’s ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’, Hiram said: “Our agent had kind of flagged ‘Jumanji’ for us. He was like, ‘Hey, I have this script. It’s ‘Jumanji’. I think you should check it out. It feels like this is right up our alley.’
“It was a testament, especially to Dwayne, who’s the busiest guy in the world, but something about that night – I feel like we were maybe at a WrestleMania or something like that. I’m horrible with references in time, but I believe we were at an event like that. We had just landed … Dwayne read it that night. I read it that night, and it was just there. Right away on first reading, you just kind of got it.”
Hiram explained that Dwayne was immediately charmed by the script and despite his jam-packed working schedule, he was determined to commit to the project.
He told Collider: “The concept was so clean. It was so charming. There was so much heart in it, like what you and I were just speaking about, that it was a quick decision.
“You know, in our business we get a lot of big projects, but a lot of them need a lot of work. It’s just part of the process, and ‘Jumanji’ was such a clean concept and the script was already so far along and it was genuinely funny and charming and sweet, while honouring the original.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Idris Elba admits becoming a director is a “bit of a cliched journey”.
The 45-year-old actor has made his directorial debut with the new crime movie ‘Yardie’, and Idris has revealed it’s something he’s always aspired to do.
The Hollywood star shared: “It’s a bit of a cliched journey for any actor to go into directing, isn’t it?
“I definitely always saw myself sitting in the hot seat one day. I remember watching Ridley Scott work and thinking, I want to do that, watching Guillermo del Toro work, watching Cary Fukunaga work and thinking, Wow.”
Idris also revealed how his own directorial approach has been influenced by the people he’s previously work with.
Speaking to the Irish Times newspaper, the London-born actor explained: “I operated second camera on this film because that’s what Cary does on his films. I remember wondering why he does that, but when you get into his process, you realise it’s because you can see the lies.
“You can get distracted when you’re a director just looking at a screen. But when you’re right there, there’s a relationship between the naked eye and the camera, and you can see what doesn’t look right.”
However, it has taken Idris years to establish himself as one of Hollywood’s best-known actors.
And he can still remember the dark days of his career, when he was having to scramble around looking for work.
He said: “The worst time was when I had no work for three or four years.
“I was coming back to England. I’d grab a job, I’d get some money, and I’d go back to America. But I never really got to the place when I thought: I’m done. I’ve done millions of jobs and this has been my main job since I was 18.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The Kooks’ Luke Pritchard thinks you’ll be able to see his romantic journey through his latest record.
The indie band – comprised of Luke, Hugh Harris, Alexis Nunez, and Peter Denton – released their fifth studio album ‘Let’s Go Sunshine’ on Friday (31.08.18), which is partly inspired by the “joy” of meeting his fiancée Ellie Rose.
In an interview with the Metro, he explained: “I am loved up now and that kind of happened part way through.
“The angsty bits, it’s a mix. Each song is meant to have its own little world. We wanted it to be eclectic.
“Songs like ‘Swing Low, Kids’ on one side and then the loved up ‘No Pressure’ and ‘All The Time’. There’s a letting go and a finding something solid. They are just different songs I represent with different things.
“As albums are it’s a journey making it, as in life, and yes it’s nice to have an amazing person who’s inspired me to try and be better. I think that comes across as there’s a lot of joy on the record.”
The record is the ‘Naive’ hitmakers’ first in four years, and although Luke knows the industry has changed, he thinks this is an excellent time to come back.
He said: “There’s a freedom to it. Some people ask ‘how the f**k are you so big on Spotify?’ and I have no clue! Maybe the press and stuff don’t give us five out of five stars all the time but people are digging the songs.’
“The cynicism is going. Artists going well you might see on TV are doing well. We just do our thing and let it go. As bands now you can’t think about charting because it’s the long game, we will know how big a song is in a year.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Stan Lee has paid tribute to Marvel legend Marie Severin, after she passed away on Thursday (30.08.18).
The 95-year-old founder of the iconic comic franchise took to Twitter on Friday (31.08.18) to honour the memory of artist Marie – who co-created Spider-Woman – who passed away this week at the age of 89 after suffering a stroke.
Stan shared images of the artist’s early work on ‘Spider-Woman’ – which Marie co-created in 1976 – ‘Hulk’ and ‘Sub-Mariner’.
He wrote: “In memory of Marie Severin”
Marie was taken into hospice care earlier this week, where she passed away after being unable to recover from a stroke, which had been her second after previously facing the same health scare in 2007.
Her pal Irene Vartanoff confirmed her death on Facebook, writing: “I’m very sorry to report that Marie Severin, the funniest and nicest woman in the comic book biz ever, is no more. Here’s a pic from happier days only a few years ago. I would have cropped myself out of this photo, but notice where Marie’s left hand is. Incorrigible! Love you, Marie. (sic)”
Meanwhile, other comic book legends also took to social media to pay homage to the colourist.
‘Batman’ writer Tom King shared a sketch of Marie and a collage of marvel characters including Captain America and Iron Man.
He said: “RIP Marie Severin. One of the great cartoonists in comics and likely the greatest colorist in the history of comics. We stand on the shoulder of giants.”
Deadpool creator Robert Liefeld tweeted: “Rest In Peace, Marie Severin. Uber talented, trail blazing Marvel artist has passed away at 89 years old. Her work is stunning and had tremendous impact on Marvel in the late 60’s early 70’s!”
The official San Diego Comic Con also tweeted a picture of Marie, smiling and holding an award.
They wrote: “We are sad to hear of the passing of Marie Severin, her contributions to the comics industry have left an indelible mark.
“A trailblazer and remarkable talent she will be greatly missed. Our condolences go out to her family, friends and countless fans.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Garner attempted to get shoppers to try her brand’s new baby food.
The 46-year-old actress attempted to entice shoppers at the Kroger supermarket in Cincinnati, Ohio, to try her ‘Once Upon A Farm’ line of baby food – but was hilariously rejected by the customers.
Posting the footage on her Instagram story, Jennifer said: “Okay, I’m just hanging out at Kroger. Waiting.”
Her first attempt at speaking to a customer fails immediately, with him stating: “I’m sorry, I’m really busy.”
The ’13 Going On 30′ star smiles and said: “I understand. No problem!” before turning around and frowning at the camera.
Several other clips shared to social media then show the actress – who has three kids, Violet, 12, Seraphina, nine, and Samuel, six, with her estranged husband Ben Affleck – approaching shoppers who all turn down her bizarre food samples.
The ‘Peppermint’ star did eventually find success with one customer telling her: “That’s good! I would eat that!”
Jennifer exclaimed: “Did you see the delight?”
The actress’ baby food range boasts “organic” produce that cuts out all of the ingredients that could be bad for a child’s health and growth.
Speaking in a Facebook live last month, she explained: “It’s the first cold-pressed, organic, non-GMO, no sugar added, everything good that you would want to feed your baby.”
The ‘Alias’ actress has previously admitted that she doesn’t often let her three children indulge in junk food, and prefers to give them healthier dishes.
She said: “I’m not worried so much about junk food, because we don’t have it in the house – although I don’t want to be a freak about it, so that they just want to get their hands on it at all costs.
“It’s more than you just want to make sure they’re getting a rainbow of flavours and of foods.”

OHMYGOSSIP — A hand-drawn rare sketch of Donald Duck by Walt Disney was sold at auction for almost $12,000.
The unique item – which also features the signature of the American pioneer – was sold to an unnamed buyer for $11,949 at a Nate D. Sanders Auctions on Thursday (30.08.18), sending the product $4,000 over the start bidding price, which was set at $7,900.
Earlier this week, it was revealed the item was set to go under the hammer at an auction in Los Angeles, and auction manager Michael Kirk said the drawing was special because Walt Disney didn’t actually draw many of the character designs himself.
Explaining why the item is so special, Nate D. Sanders auction manager Michael Kirk said in a statement: “It’s rare to find a Donald Duck illustration hand drawn and signed by Walt Disney himself.
“Disney famously delegated almost all animation work to his team of talented animators, making this piece very unique and collectable.”
Disney – who created Donald Duck in 1934 to be the companion of the iconic character Mickey Mouse – signed his name at the bottom of his pencil drawing, which is 5.5 by 8.5 inches in size.
News of the auction comes shortly after Disney announced plans to create a Mickey Mouse exhibition to celebrate his 90th Anniversary.
It was revealed that a new pop-up interactive art exhibit – which will include work from British artist Michael Bosanko and celebrity photographer Rankin – named ‘Mickey: The True Original Exhibition’ will be opening in New York in honour of the cartoon icon’s birthday.
Bob Chapek, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products, said: “As Walt said, ‘I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing – that it was all started by a mouse’.
“From ‘The True Original Exhibition’ to a year-long celebration in our parks around the world, we are honouring the deep connection that families and fans have made with Mickey and Minnie Mouse for nearly a century.”
Meanwhile, Darren Romanelli, who curated the project, said: “To me, Mickey is reminiscent of everything good from my childhood. As I’ve come into my own as a designer, I feel a true sense of passion for this project.
“Every inch of the experience – from the artists participating to the different mediums featured to the building layout, was thought through with a level of detail and creativity we could only achieve with Mickey Mouse as our muse.”
